1950

It's foliage time. Word filtering down from the North Country is that the colors are particularly vibrant. If you miss the season, this year is always superb. Once there, however, and the natives assure you, "The colors last year were better." We missed the season this year, reluctantly.

Gridiron gleanings: The reviews are mixed. Last year's punchless, frustrating loss to Penn was avenged with plenty of scoring. Then came Holy Cross, and zip. The offense is balanced, reportedly varied and innovative, yet still not powerful enough. The defense has yet to gel. Time and the Ivies remain.

Or women's sports: catch Ted Remsen's Ellen, a high-scoring forward in field hockey. Or Dave Taylor's Tasha, the rugby (!) captain. The tennis team is formidable.

The Business Brokerage Investment Group Inc. has appointed Macauley Taylor managing director of its Danbury office, which serves the Danbury and Waterbury area. The group specializes in business sales, mergers, acquisitions, franchising, and the financing of smaller companies with gross sales up to $3 million. Mac augmented his work at Dartmouth with degrees in engineering from Northwestern and business administration from the University of Washington. No longer interested in hither and yon, he calls Darien home.

The Lafayette (N.H.) Arts Council sponsored an exhibition of paintings by FrankMoulton at the Abbie Greenleaf Library in Franconia during July. In the last few years Frank, who lives in Hanover, has had one-man shows throughout New England and in Rochester, Cleveland, and LaJolla. Recently, two of his paintings were purchased for the New Hampshire Supreme Court building in Concord. Another painting was selected to represent New England in the John Deere Collection in Moline, Ill.

John Leo Appel Jr., a Republican candidate for election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, feels that his candidacy offers his constituents a businessman's expertise along with an awareness of legislative issues. He started his campaign early and is running hard. After graduation John served a hitch in the Navy as an officer aboard a destroyer. He then joined "Boston's Buick Dealer" to learn the ropes before taking over the Anchor Buick Co. of Portsmouth. He has served in numerous positions for the New Hampshire Auto Dealers Association and the New England Buick Dealers Council. In addition, among his many civic functions he has served on the investment committee of the North Congregational Church and has been a director of St. John's Masonic Association. John and Meliss live in Rye with their four daughters.

Tidbits here and there: Ed and Pegge Sawyer are relaxing after the summer surge of. tourists scoured through their Stone House Antiques in West Stockbridge. Two whole pages of notes, news, and observations have disappeared! Credits for the first script of "Charlie'? Angels" this season went to Steve Kandel. On a west to east cross-country tour, sometimes known as the return of daughter's car, Tom and JanotRuggles stopped in the windy city to visit Jimand Peggy Vail. Ron Bohle covers a lot of territory with Ferguson Enterprises, a 37-branch wholesaler headquartered in Knoxville. After hiding out in Nebraska since graduation, Roger Gaylord finally returned to the campus last summer. Although still with J. P. Stevens,. Bob Tredwell boasts about a new address in Pleasantville, N.Y. Sandy McCulloch represented the College at the inauguration of Prexy Kennan of Mt. Holyoke. He liked the climate, so Sam Jefferson stayed in San Antonio (in 1975 the country's tenth-largest city!) to practice medicine.

Two aspirations: For the next column better gleanings from the gridiron and more news from the hustings. Reports from the wide, wide world have been sparse and fragmentary.

Plans are set for our trip to this year's minireunion. You can bet that at least one native will let us know that we should have arrived a week earlier, "...to see the best color ever." It was thus ever. We are just looking forward to getting back to Hanover once again. The Yale game is also an important attraction. (And if you missed the chance to join.us again this year, why not start planning for next year?

The year plunges on. Have a bountiful turkey-time. Cheers.
