Attention, classmates: Please take two seconds to send in your class dues for 1979-80. When you stop and think that 15 bucks is only equivalent to 150 trips to a ten-cent pay toilet, it is a mere pittance to spend as a symbol of your affection for Dartmouth and your class. Get off the pot and give. Also, remember that reunion time is soon approaching and you should all plan to attend so you can personally tell me what a turkey I have been as your class secretary.

Bob Shirley sends the following lament: "I'm firmly ensconced in the food service industry these days as central regional sales manager for Metropolitan Wire Corporation and as vice president of the Food, Beverage, and Equipment Executives Association of Chicago. In the summer I board an antique bluejay sailboat by the name of Filthy Pierre and cruise down to Navy Pier and back to Winnetka. In the winter I live at the Chicago Curling Club, having attained the grade of vice skip. The latter especially helps me relax in the likes of Chicago's last winter, which saw my garage cave in on both cars and cost me, among other things, two new Dartmouth decals for the rear car windows. Hope to make it back for the 15th."
I hope you all plan to make it back, so we can compare bald spots and paunches. The dates are June 13-15, 1980.
