A belated report of the death of VOLNEY GRANT JENKINS on October 1, 1977, has just reached the Alumni Records Office.

On graduation from Dartmouth, he entered the employ of Goodspeed's Book Store in Boston, where he remained until he resigned to enter Officers' Training School when we entered World War I. On completing the course, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Army.

When the armistice released him, he entered the tax division of New York State, where he remained until his retirement.

His wife, who survives him, is in a nursing home in Massachusetts. His only child, Diane J. Day, lives in Albany, N.Y.

HOWARD STOUGHTON, who served the Class so ably as secretary and editor for lo these many years, died on October 13 at the home of his daughter Nancy in Winchendon, Mass. Stub, as he was known to all of us, had been in poor health for some time. He had hoped to be able to carry on as secretary and editor, but his health would not permit it. Illness also prevented his going to the 65th reunion, where he had hoped to renew old friendships and swap yarns with his classmates.

He was born in Charlestown, N.H., in 1891 and attended Bellows Falls High School. He took an A.B. degree from the College in 1913. Soon after leaving Hanover, he became an employee of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, later transferring to the Bell system in New York, where he became manager of the traffic and commercial departments. He held that position until his retirement in 1956.

In October of 1915 he and Grace Delva were married, and they had four children - Howard Jr. '39, Lincoln Delva (Dartmouth V-12), Richard M., and Nancy. They and one sister and 13 grandchildren survive him.

In college he was a member of the freshman track team and Sigma Nu. Afterwards he became a member of the Baptist Church and a Mason, and he was a life member of the Telephone Pioneers of America.

He will be missed not only by his family and friends, but also by those of his class who are still vibrant. He was an outstanding class officer, and we are thankful for his untiring effort to keep us informed as to what each of us was doing. His college, his class, his friends meant much to him, as he told Bill Terry: "I would like everyone to know that one of the highlights of my retirement years was being able to serve as class officer."

"... for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die."

Tennyson, Ulysses

This was GREGORY TELEK'S dream, and it came true. Greg was stricken suddenly while sailing in Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, on September 2. He died in the evening at San Juan University Hospital in Puerto Rico of a septicemia complicated by leukemia.

Greg developed leukemia in March 1977 while working for Hess Oil Corporation in St. Croix as an environmental oceanographer. It came just as he was achieving in life, and just a few weeks before his marriage to Constance Jones, which took place in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, on May 29, 1977. With her help, he successfully, although with great difficulty, underwent chemotherapy in Mt. Sinai Hospital, New York.

Greg was born in Ozd, Hungary on January 6, 1944, and grew up in Garmisch-Pertenkirchen, Germany, and Mountainside, N.J.

After graduation from Dartmouth, he taught chemistry at the University of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, and then was employed by the Atomic Energy Commission as a chemist and diver. This position introduced him to oceanography, and he returned to the University of Rhode Island where he received a master's in chemical oceanography. After brief employment at OMNI Research in Puerto Rico, he moved to St. Croix and worked for Hess Oil Company.

His candor, courage, and optimism in the face of his battle with leukemia are memories that help us deal with the loneliness remaining after his death. Despite his fears that he would die in a plastic tent in a hospital, his last memories were of sailing with wife and friends in apparent good health. We are left with our loss, but comforted by the thought of his gain.
