1949

This is my last opportunity to urge you to join your classmates in Hanover at our 30th reunion. This issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE should reach you several weeks before the big event which is June 12-14, and I am sure there will still be time to reserve a room in Middle Mass where most of us will be staying. Don't think about it any more, just mail that registration form today or pick up the phone and call Bob Muenzberg in Southbridge, Mass., and tell him you will be there. Bob's got the weather under control and also has planned a great program for us all. You won't have another chance for five years, so don't miss it.

Travelers Insurance Company is transferring Ken Soule to Portland, Maine, to handle their commercial lines operations effective April 1, 1978. This move will make it impossible for them to attend our 30th, so we will have to hoist a few for Marty and "Luke." This move will take him away from eastern New York (Guilderland), where he spent 25 of the last 29 years. However, he still has a summer home at Queechy Lake in the Berkshires, which will continue to serve as his base of operation during the summer. Ken and Marty have four children ranging 17 years and over. He sends his best wishes to all of his classmates and is disappointed he will not be in Hanover in June.

Donald Scholle, of 176 East 77th Street, N.Y.C., has recently become a member of the Class of 1949. (Why do you suppose he chose us? Punchy must have given him one of his classic sales pitches.) We all welcome Don and hope to see him in June.

Burt Proom has just been selected president of American Nuclear Insurers in Washington, D.C. This is a voluntary, unincorporated association of the insurance companies providing property and liability insurance to the nuclear energy industry.

Quent Kopp writes that he was re-elected to the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco for a third term in November, 1977. He received the highest number of votes cast for any candidate for the board and was the only candidate unopposed. He has completed two years as president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and has been appointed by the board to the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District's board of directors and to the San Francisco Bay Area Air Pollution Air Control District.

Some of you may remember Dick Snedaker although he only spent less than six months at Dartmouth before being drafted and never returning. He is now a practicing dentist in White Plains, N.Y., and director of the White Plains Hospital Out-Patient Dental Clinic. He has been a White Plains dentist since 1955. He went from Dartmouth into the Navy then to New York University, the University of Maryland, and the New York University College of Dentistry. He married Ann Wood from Baltimore in 1953 and they have three children. He lectured during April at the University of Madrid Dental School, which sounds like a very nice arrangement.

Jeff Farnum reports that although they live right on Boston Harbor, they managed to survive the high water which the big storm blew at them this past winter. About the only person he sees in Boston is Burt Rodman. Jeff promises to be at the reunion this June.

I will be looking forward to seeing you all in the tent outside Middle Mass on June 12.
