1935
With the variety of class news at hand it's hard to know where to start, Let's talk first about young Bill Fitzhugh, who made it through his first year of law school and, as he says, is "brash enough" to try a second year. Disconcerting to know he is older not only than his fellow students but also than his professors!
Bill McClarin writes from his remodeled summer home on Long Beach Island, N.J., where he and Doris have lived since retirement four years ago. Golf, bowling, fishing, church, and charity work keep him on the go.
Howie Croninger didn't make it to the U.S. from Guadalajara this year. Son Skip '68 visited and helped the old man win a tennis doubles tournament at their club. This winter Howie plans an extensive railroad and tramp steamer trip through and around South America,
Ken and Phyllis Kurson are back from from the Isle of Capri. Monte Carlo, and the Riviera.
The most traveled travelers I've learned of this year are Bob and Audrey Richter. Left the U.S. late in August on a trip round the world, It took them eastward to central Europe, Turkey, Iran, India, Bangkok, Perth, Brisbane, Bali, Hongkong, Japan, Hawaii, and back home in November!
John Ross is another who's done some traveling to such different places as Guatemala and Iceland, Will probably retire from his practice as an internist in another year. He's taking a correspondence course in small internal com- bustion engine repairs. How's that for keeping your hand in in things internal?
Everett Dann will retire from service to the state of New York next June. He plans to fulfill a lifelong dream by moving into a year-round home on Lake St, Catherine in Vermont. Welcome to New England, Everett, even if only by three or four miles.
Bill Mann has just retired and is in the midst of moving from Ridgewood, N.J., to Chapel Hill, N.C. Looks forward to "living again in a college town after all these years."
Bob Neill writes from Richmond that he's at last a grandfather for the first time. Bob is what he describes as "semi-retired" and has averaged four rounds of golf a week. Full retirement getting closer.
Don and Margaret Radasch returned from a holiday in England just in time for the Harvard game. They staged a mini-reunion in London with Dero and Bea Saunders and George andRuth Colton, the latter having just spent two weeks in Scotland,
Earl Arthurs remains very busy with his pension business in Charlotte but finds time for backpacking, white-water canoeing, racquet ball, and, of all things, disco lessons.
Dick Meyers is "still in the real estate business in what is the fastest-growing city in the country, Dallas, Tex." Lots of competition from big companies, but he's ready to help you locate there!
Our executive committee member, RudyPacht, sends word from L.A. He has seen Dutch Dollak out there several times and also Harry Ackerman. Did you see the great story on Harry in the October ALUMNI MAGAZINE? If not, look it up! Rudy himself, "hair thinning but weighing four pounds less than in '34," took a great trip last spring to Europe and Israel.
A letter from Bill Krieg in Washington recounts a pleasant reunion. He and Philinda were walking on the grounds of the National Cathedral and paused to inquire of two couples going in the opposite direction whether the doors were open. One of the men said, "I know you." As Bill tried to place the face and name he gave his own and realized he had met BobLinson, his roommate for two years in North Mass, whom he'd not seen in over 40 years. Bob is semi-retired, living in Hagerstown, Md. Bill himself is working on a study of the Peru-Ecuador boundary dispute for the State Department and living in Bethesda.
Doug Ley is now stepping around in lively Style and engaged in his law practice after being troubled by hip difficulties for several years. Both hips were replaced this spring and his recovery was so rapid that he and Ruth were able to travel extensively in Spain this past summer,
Tom Lane has become a new member of the *35 Club of the Upper Valley. He and Ginnie are now permanently located at Quechee, Vt., and, like the rest of us living near Hanover, are frequently at Dartmouth events.
Finally, another reminder that it's time to be making your 45th reunion plans. Many, like Gus Davis, who hasn't been back in Hanover singe 1940, will want to return for the last scheduled reunion with 1933 and 1934. What a fine time to greet old friends in Hanover in June!
