1930

Woodstock weekend was another winner both in the Harvard game outcome and the gathering of over 100 class affiliates for the usual yet unusual events of the reunion - the Friday class meeting, the Frenches' cocktail party, participation in the Dartmouth Night celebration of 100 years of football, and the Saturday dinner at the Woodstock Inn. It came hard on the heels of our 50th, and it was encouraging that attendance was only slightly lower than last year.

There was a 1930 gathering of sorts at the William and Mary game. Les Godwin reports "hot and crowded but worth the trip" and writes that they had lunch with the Van Leers and the Wolfs. More from Ted, who writes, "Spent a week in Charlottesville playing in the National Clay Court Championships for Super Seniors (over 70). I got to the quarter finals in doubles, and won the consolation singles. Sixty-two men from all over the country." The BurtSherwoods, Bob Blanchards, and Al Fisks were also at the game. Al is chairing the Suffolk, Va., chapter of SCORE and recently attended the national convention at Norfolk. Their son Lee has moved from his position as chemical engineer with RCA to the Harris Corporation in Melbourne, Fla.

Vera and Ranny Hobbs are "just back from crossing east and west on the Stefan Batory plus a 12-day autobus tour through Europe, A bit hectic, and I'm not sure how many more like it we could take. We bought a co-op in Naples last spring. How's this for an address: 1930 Gulf Shore Blvd:" Hi Savage, whom we missed at the 50th, has retired as executive director of the Bennington Chamber of Commerce but continues as president of the Bennington Home Health Agency and secretary-treasurer of the local fire department. Dot and Frank Ryder will be holing up at Woods Hole for the winter, with the exception of trips to Nova Scotia in October and Florida in midwinter. Delia and MiltFleischman of Santa Rosa "traveled to China in April, but were so knocked out by the flu and jet lag that we called off our trip to reunion. Now we have fully recovered, we're taking off for Alaska for two weeks. We've also signed up for a return to the Orient in February."

And how about this itinerary of Frances and Don Shaskan - to Manila for the Pacific Congress of Psychiatry, to Hong Kong for the Symposium on Priorities in Psychiatry Today, thence to Copenhagen for the 7th International Congress of Group Psychiatry. Carl Jenson traveled to Ireland in September for two weeks to take three lectures at Trinity in Dublin and then do the "round tour" with a group from the Smithsonian. Win Stone's book David Garrick,a Critical Biography has won two awards, one from the American Theatre Association and another from the Theatre Library Association. Sam Stayman, who with Josephine and their grandson was at Woodstock, recently participated in a bridge instructional seminar at the University Club in New York. After attending Alumni College, Harriet and Don Hight traveled to Montana for two weeks and found that "the open fields and the mountains all made a beautiful setting for horseback riding, hiking, and fishing."
