1933

A couple of additions and a change of information from last month's notes: The minireunion at Quechee next fall will be September 25 to 28, around the University of New Hampshire game, instead of the September 20 weekend. You will be hearing further about the bed and board, golf and tennis from Mel Katz. He is entirely recovered from a kidney operation at Mary Hitchcock and is waxing his skis for the winter runs.

Page Worthington has appointed Jeff Davis to chair the 50th reunion committee and JackManchester to chair the committee to study '33 finances and to decide on a suitable gift from the class to the College in 1983. Jack will undoubtedly welcome suggestions.

George Drowne had a good letter from Tom Hale, out in Wayzata, Minn., and has sent it along to me. Tom reports that he has retired as executive director of the Cogill Foundation. He and his wife Acey are heading for Tucson, Ariz., for the winter. Their son Jim '62 is leaving John Faegre's law firm "after 14 happy years" to become a vice president and director of corporate growth at General Mills Inc. (of which Jim McFarland was president before his retirement).

Some of our Florida contingent have been or are going to be busy: Ed Knapp had the roof of his Vero Beach house blown off during Hurricane David. Hank and Ginny McKee are off to Australia and New Zealand in the near future. They will be back on Sanibel Island after Christmas, so as not to miss snow bird traffic jams and to accept the overflow from the repaired Knapp house.

Jan and I went to my 50th reunion, class of '29, of Plainfield, N.J., High School. Hart andJean Krans also attended and Hart won the prize for coming from the farthest distance. It looked like a bottle of "Jersey Lightning" (applejack to you), but Hart never unwrapped it. Two of the Krans's daughters now live in New Jersey, which may have been more of a draw than being "loyal and true to the old red and blue."

Names in the news: An October news release from the New Hampshire Association for the Blind says that Don D'Arcy demonstrated and explained low vision aids at the organization's annual meeting. Don is a board member of that hard-working group.

The September 30 Portland, Maine, SundayTelegram had a feature article on Fred Awalt's cooking, which he started learning at his grandmother's stove. When things don't turn out well (very rarely), he can swear fluently in Arabic, because of his years in the foreign service in Libya and Saudi Arabia. On demand, your secretary will send you Fred's recipe for corncakes - you'll have to ask Fred for the syrup from his own maple trees to pour on them. There's a picture of Fred with the article, stirring up the batter. You can see he has been enjoying his cooking since 1933.

Bless Fred and all the rest of you, too.
