1941

General Robert J. Dixon retired from the U.S. Air Force on April 30 with four stars and a military career that took a three-and-a-half-page press release to summarize. Not having that kind of space available, I'll just remind you that Dix joined the Canadian Air Force after graduation, served with the British Air Force, shifted to the U.S. Air Force, was shot down over Germany, and spent the last months of the war as a prisoner. He flew combat in Korea, logged a total of more than 6,000 flight hours, has a list of decorations that reaches from here to there and back, and has held almost every kind of staff and command post the Air Force has to offer. At the time of his retirement, he was commander of the Tactical Air Command at Langley Air Force Base, Hampton, Va.

Also added to the retired list is Pete Scott, late of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. Pete suffered a heart attack early in 1977 and after almost a year of convalescence decided that the sensible thing to do was pack it in. Let me hasten to assure you, though, that he hikes four miles a day, keeps busy, and looks a lot healthier than thee or me. He and Peggy are still living in Bethesda, Md„ with one son teaching in the Celveland area, one in construction in Washington, and one at St. Lawrence.

Pete is in touch regularly with Bud Bye, also a telephone retiree (New Jersey Bell), settled happily in Yardley, Pa.

A letter from Stace Hill relays the news that the Dartmouth Club of Chicago presented a special award to Ralph Johnson: "President Kemeny made the award at the club's Dartmouth Dinner in recognition of Ralph's efforts to promote the Dartmouth fellowship in the Midwest through his annual August picnic at his estate in Barrington, III."

While catching up on my filing, I discovered that in passing on to you Walt Winchester's letter of last February, I missed one item: "BillDanforth breezed into Florida a few weeks ago, tried to call but got only my answering service, and was on his way - perhaps to a boat show in Miami." Perhaps. Or maybe even the Maine outdoorsman needed a little thawing out during this latest edition of winter wonderland.

About the time you read this Dick Krolik will be in Hanover watching the College award an A.B. to son Jeff. He may also be looking for work. After recent stints at the White House and Commerce Department, Dick has currently been staff director of the Ad Hoc Committee on Energy of the House of Representatives. The committee's function was to try and get an energy bill passed, so basically his assignment was to work himself out of a job - and it appears that he has just about succeeded, even though the Congressional conferees are still hasseling at this writing.

Among the early spring visitors to Washington, Dick revealed, were John Twist and family, up from the farm at Twist, Ark. They were with a Memphis group in town to view the American Ballet Company performances at Kennedy Center and, under Krolik's guidance, sample Washington night life, such as it is.

Another commencement witness this month will be Bruce Friedlich, who'll be traveling up to Middletown to observe youngest son Jim's graduation from Wesleyan. After that he hopes to be doing a lot of sailing out of his summer base at Westbrook, Conn. Bruce reports seeing Danny Provost, Bill Cashel, and Jack Ripley among other '41s at the Campaign for Dartmouth dinner in New York earlier. He also passed on an advance tip - it should be official by now - that Bill Hotaling, Ohio, and HughKenworthy, Pennsylvania, have been elected to the Alumni Council from their respective regions and will start two-year terms in July.

Have you been wondering what Peter C. T.Glenn is up to? Wonder no more. While wandering through a recent issue of Media Industry Newsletter, I tripped over the following: "Peter Glenn Publications has just issued the 21st issue of its annual directory 'designed for the world of advertising, television, photography, fashion and publicity' complete with a face lift, coated stock and much more legible typography. But it's not just Madison Avenue folks, companies, addresses, phone numbers and titles; it also includes special sections on Boston, California, Chicago, the South and Canada. It's $11.95 from Peter Glenn Publications Ltd., 17 East 48th St., NYC 10017."

If Pete has paid his class dues, that's for free. Otherwise he gets billed at our regular rates.

The ALUMNI MAGAZINE now takes a nap un- til fall, and the September issue will carry only reunion reports in the class section. So we meet again in October. Have a good summer, as we used to say in the olden times.
