1928
To help celebrate Dartmouth's 100th year of football, the College has invited the surviving members of the famous undefeated team of 1925 to a buffet dinner the night before the Harvard game and to a cocktail party and dinner the following night. Twenty-eighters invited were Myles Lane (New York City), John Phillips (Montclair, N.J.), Jack McAvoy (Phoenixville, Pa.), Al Fusonie (Pompano Beach, Fla.), Ken Graf (Manchester, N.H.), Red Fauntleroy (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), and Howard Moss (New York City).
George Cole played end our freshman and junior years so we asked him about 1925. He said the doctor would not let him play that fall. We called him recently at his home in Brattleboro, Vt., and found he is fine except that arthritis has forced him to give up golf. He and Alice just got back from a week at Ogun- quit, Me.
Howard Moss returned to Peddie for his 55th reunion. He was fullback and captain of the football team his senior year at Peddie. He was glad that six other members of that team came back, including Tom Ellis. Howard and Helen celebrated their 50th anniversary last year; they have three children.
Gene and Fran Magenis enjoyed Hanover Holiday last June he was the sole '28er there. After leaving Hanover, they spent their 17th summer in Williamstown, Mass. They returned to Miami after Labor Day.
"We had a good trip to Ireland last June even though it rained every day," Writes Jerry Warner. He and Rella will miss the mini reunion in Hanover, but are going to Raleigh, N.C., to visit their son and family. Ham and Chopin Hankins spent a couple of days with the Warners in Washington on their way north to New Jersey. They hope to make Hanover for the game September 20 and then go on to Mon- treal before returning to their home in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Jack and Fran Kenerson's children engineered a surprise 50th anniversary that was a surprise because they moved it ahead from June 22 to June 10 when all of their eight grandchildren could be there. A large delegation of classmates was on hand: Craig andEieanor Haines spent the night with John and Ethel Nixon before the party. Red Edgar joined them, plus Ginny Davenport, and Don Benjamin (an usher) and Hazel were also there.
Herb and Mimi Sensenig took a two-week trip by air to the West Coast in late August, to visit their son Kenny and family in Oregon.
I called Curly and Laura Sadler a few days ago and was glad to learn from Curly that he is better and now able to take short walks. They both asked me to thank the large number of '28ers who sent them 50th anniversary carcjs and notes.
Herb Sensenig wrote before his trip West that ten couples were registered at the Norwich Inn for the September 19-20 weekend: Bell, Bush, Davis, Haines, Hassell, Howard, Kenerson, Makepeace, Morton, and Simpson. The Skinners will be guests of the Sensenigs. Plans are as usual. Herb and Mimi hope the whole gang, probably 30, will come out to their house Friday night. Saturday we have cocktails and dinner in the Ranger Room at the Norwich Inn.
George and Paula Bell have a new address: 3835 Tazewell St., N. Arlington, Va. 22207, telephone 703/536-9225.
The Prossers will miss the reunion because of having made elaborate reservations before the reunion was changed from the Harvard to the Penn game. They will be vacationing in Steam- boat Springs, Colo., Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park and winding up near San- ta Barbara four weeks by air and car with another couple.
Cal and Genie Billings had an interesting trip to Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island this summer. They are now grandparents for the first time. Sam '60 and his wife produced a son and named him Matthew.
Dusty and Natalie Griffin took a two-week trip in August from their summer home in Ludington, Mich., driving through the northern tier to Washington and Oregon. Dusty wrote, "Our return was through southern Idaho where I had lived on a ranch on the Snake River during some of my high school years (to school each day by horse, rain or shine). From Lewiston, Idaho, we traveled 180 miles by jet boat into (and out of) the Snake River Canyon. We continued through Utah, southern Wyoming, Nebraska, lowa, Illinois, and Indiana 4,500 enjoyable miles."
A card from Rube Rubin says, "This trip we are visiting Germany, Switzerland, and Israel. Didn't someone once say that it's a small world? I can remember that Hanover to Montreal used to be a big deal."
A last-minute news item: Our son Scott '64 won the nomination for attorney general of Vermont in the Democratic primary on September 9.
With sadness we list the classmates who have died since our June notes: Sam Dennis, EdHanes, Roger Vernon, Fred Tilton, Otto Sokol,Earl Fain, and Elwood Drake.
