1942

Welcome back from the lazy, hazy days of summer. It seems to me that Memorial Day showed up on schedule and following a short lull - bang - it's Labor Day. But enough of this nostalgia. Let's get on with the task at hand.

Didn't Bill Enos and his band of class agents do a remarkable job for, with, and on us? During most of the campaign we lurked in seventh place out of eight in our Green Derby group, but with a very fast close we jumped into a very respectable number-two position. A "well done" and wait until next year.

I intercepted a letter from Hazen Hinman to Allan Dingwall and I can report that Hazen is living in Switzerland where he has been since the end of 1974.

Received a brochure advising me of "Clambake and Next Move Revue" to be held at King Ridge Ski Area in New London, N.H., every Tuesday and Saturday evening during the summer. The Clambake part of it states: "David Heald - The King of Clambakes - If you've never been to a clambake prepared and presented by David Heald, then you've certainly missed one of life's great pleasures." Many of our Class have participated in this particular pleasure, so I'll leave the rest of it up to you.

Paul Vaitses of Swansea, Mass., and former mayor of Melrose, Mass., has been appointed a member of the World War II, Korean Emergency and Vietnam Conflict Memorial Commission in Massachusetts. His group is responsible for maintaining an honor roll in memory of those members of the armed forces who died in military service in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.

While browsing through the June 1978 issue of Leather and Shoe (and no home should be without it) I noted a picture of Fred Worthen. Fred is president of Worthen Industries which consist of Fransworth Inc., Nylco Inc., Empire Adhesives Co., and Worthen Caribe Inc.

I'm sure you've spent the summer wondering who won the popsicle stick for the nearest translation of Jim Idema's Russian letter. After pouring over the thousands of entries we do have a winner and it's thanks to Bob Hill (Wellesley, Mass.). Seems his son Chris 'BO has a friend Debby Taylor 'BO who spent the summer in Leningrad on a Dartmouth Foreign Study Program. Debby was the closest translation, so the prized award has been forwarded to her.

We had a very pleasant evening with Dex andAnne Richards as they entertained Rumsey Ewing and son Tim. Rums and Tim were making the eastern college tour and, of course, Hanover was one of the scheduled stops.

Mary and I spent a weekend at a small club on the coast of Maine and upon arrival the first people we saw were Jack and Barbara Tobin. Tobe was very enthused about a new racing bicycle he had just purchased which will enhance his racing prowess and also allow him to finish his paper route on schedule.

Never has '42 gone so long and heard so little from Dick Lippman - the Sage of Philadelphia. What's up, Lip?

We'll look forward to seeing you at the Yale game.
