1935
"'35 Up!" for the fabulous 45th! If you're coming on June 11, it's time to start enjoying the prospect. If you've not yet decided, it's time to do it. If you're planning on missing the fun, it's time to change your mind! Just think, this is the last reunion with other contemporary classes. And how many more do you really count on attending? Bob Naramore and his reunion committee have lined up probably the finest program we've yet enjoyed. And what could be a more pleasant holiday than a few days back in Hanover in June!
Speaking of Hanover, Morry Heller retires this June after teaching for 32 years at the Dartmouth Medical School. He is professor of anesthesiology and looks ahead to writing up and publishing "a lot of material."
Out in Ann Arbor Dick Schneider, professor of neurosurgery, plans to continue to resist the retirement bug some of us have caught. He heads a fine staff in the section of neurosurgery. Incidentally, they developed an improved football helmet, the sale of thousands of which provides funds for further research.
Self-styled "perennial bachelor" Greg Karch retired a year ago. So what did he do? He got married last summer. Congratulations to Greg. We hope we're going to meet her. Where else but at reunion?
Al Tacy has made a cross-country move after spending 29 years in California. His new assignment, which he calls a "change and a challenge," will face him in Orlando, Fla.
Newly in Florida, too, is Sam Sammis, enjoying the sun belt, learning golf, and sailing with no regrets at leaving Long Island and the pressures of his practice behind. You'll find him at Holmes Beach.
And in a sunny climate at least until mid- April is Leon Marantz. Any '35ers in Jamaica can locate him at St. Ann's Bay. "Free drinks. I'm in the phone book."
A fine letter came from Don Richardson out in Palo Alto. He's retired a second time from Lockheed, where he most recently was responsible for re-equipping the environmental laboratories with several million dollars' worth of equipment for Trident missile testing. Don has logged more than 2000 hours recording for the blink, to which he devotes at least one evening a week. He also leads hikes for the Sierra Club on the many scenic trails in Marin County.
One of my fellow class secretaries, Nate Whiteside '20, sent me a recent long clipping from the Chicago Tribune praising the work of Bob Morris, DuPage County board member. Bob is described as "the influential chairman of the board's finance committee who wages battles to hold down county spending." The article is highly complimentary of this successful businessman classmate who is dedicated to strong community public service.
We have received a very welcome letter from a friend we've not seen in lo these many years. On the letterhead of The Reflector in Battle Ground, Wash., comes word from Jack Dodge. Jack left us in our sophomore year, became a salesman, served in the Navy, graduated from Dickinson College and then went to University of Missouri's journalism school. He spent the next 30 years on the West Coast. Jack may get back east to reunion. We hope so!
Another we haven't seen much of lately but who is planning to come to reunion is Stan Benson. Stan has officially retired from 38 years in the cranberry business, the last 20 with Ocean Spray.
Peter Smith recently spoke to the Chattanooga Dartmouth Club. Its president's secretary told him, "There's a man driving all the way over from the Smoky Mountains to be there because he tells me you're an honorary member of his class! You people sure have terrific spirit!" Fred Raymond, of course.
Rudy Pacht is always good for news from L.A. Recently entertained at dinner Harry andAnne Ferries, Lewie and Bea Peck, Harry andBev Baylies, Ed and Gertie Brunner, and Bill andTia Short. A few days later Rudy introduced to the Dartmouth Club of Southern California "the only Ivy League football coach who has never lost an Ivy League championship." Need I add, Joe Yukica!
Charlie Nay or writes he got in a luncheon visit with Paul Van Antwerpen who was on the way to Boston from Chicago. Also Charlie's daughter Nancy is now a freshman at New York University School of Performing Arts.
Congratulations to Hall Colton, now a grandfather. Jesse Colton Rothenberg arrived January 21!
Another first-time grandfather is WileyHubbell. Heather was born last fall. Wiley will tell us more about her at reunion.
A newspaper clipping complete with a picture recounts an address to the Uxbridge (Mass.) Rotary Club by Al Zimmerman. Al retired six years ago from Sears Roebuck and is now very actively chairing the Boston chapter of SCORE.
