The rustic beauty of Moose Mountain Lodge in Etna, N.H., provided an ideal setting for our fall executive committee meeting held on the weekend of the Yale game. In attendance were Seth Strickland, Bill McCarter, Arnie Sigler, Dick Ossen, Walt Freedman, Gene Kohn, Phil Kron, Tom Kirby, Eric Anderson, AI Stowe, Tom Brock and Spence Morgan. Also present were Bob Boye, Bob Phillips, Dudley Smith, Rick Lyman and Jack Hodgson. With our 20th reunion rapidly approaching there was much to discuss.

Dick Ossen and his crew have worked hard to prepare a most exciting weekend next June, and Bob Phillips and Phil Kron have been laying the groundowrk for a significant reunion gift that all of us must now bring to fruition. I'm certain that the Class of 1960 had the largest representation of any in the Dartmouth Night parade of classes, which no doubt inspired the team to conquer Yale in the mud the following day.

Al and Silvia Danson came all the way from Mexico City for the Yale weekend. Al is the director general of Mexican Financial Advisory Service, which has recently merged with the leading investment banking firm in Mexico. Silvia is an industrial psychologist providing training programs for businessmen, workers, wives, and adolescents. The Danson's have a comfortable guest room at their home in Mexico City, and all '6os are welcome.

Dudley Smith will be handling the funds for our reunion. Dud and Julie live in Princeton, N.J. with their three sons: Clayton, 13, Brad, 11, and Greg, seven, all of whom play hockey. Dud coaches, .plays a bit of hockey himself, and works for Chubb & Son, an insurance company, in his spare time.

Walt Freedman and daughter Debbie combined the Yale weekend at Moose Lodge with a college visiting trip. Sara stayed home in Winnetka, Ill., with Amy, 15, Mike, 11, and Doug, eight. Walt is executive vice president of Wheels Inc., which leases cars and trucks to industries in Chicago.

Tom Kirby is now with General Disciplines, S.A., a firm providing general management services for companies in turn-around situations. He previously ran a camping-goods business in Chicago and Mississippi. Tom is a jogger and averages 50 miles per week. Tom and Germaine live in Garden City, N.Y., with Melissa, 13, and Alexandra, 11.

Bob is a corporate vicepresident of Chesebrough-Ponds and president of its Health and Beauty Division. He is also a director of the Greenwich, Conn., YMCA. Pat is chairman of public affairs for the Junior League of Stamford and Norwalk and president of the PTA for the grammar school attended by Graham, eight, and Lora, six.
