1934

Written on the eve of the New York marathon, this column wishes to take appreciative notice of the latter-day athletic exploits of former class secretary Jeff Jackson in his new life down New Mexico way. In the Senior Olympaid of Otero County in June, Jeff ran off with two medals. First, he took a close second place in the quarter-mile walk for class C (euphemism for ages 64 through 69) when, according to the Alamogordo Daily News, "his driving finish failed by inches to catch the leader at the tape." Jeffs second silver medal came in class C frisbee-for-accuracy throw. The Alamogordo Daily News seemed to find it appropriate to cap all this by saying, "Old is Beautiful."

From another part of the athletic forest, John Foley (still another ex-filler of this space) sends on a clip from the Boston Herald American about the SRO 1700-seat New England Sports Lodge dinner honoring the Boston Celtics, with Howie McHugh as its "centerpiece." Mac has been the team's publicity man since its inception in 1946, "13 championship flags ago." Fie was tagged in the story, "Dartmouth 1934 AllAmerica goalkeeper, a hockey player switched to roundball." It's probably against the rules of sports-writing rhetoric to say "basketball." Well, whichever kind of ball they want to have the Celtics play, the party reads like one our favorite goal-tender is likely to cherish for a long while.

Perry Woodbury reports a '34 grandson on campus, sophomore Ted Rowe '83, son of Elizabeth Woodbury and C. E. Rowe, Jr. '56. We know that Jack Hinsman's daughter Mary entered a son in Dartmouth a few years ago. Are there any more '34 grandchildren in the undergraduate body? We asked the Alumni Records Office, but they don't track roots beyond the first generation.

And what about that first generation? Time was when '34 sons were in all corners of the campus. Now, as far as I know, Bill Scherman's son Dan holds the honor all by himself. Is that perhaps not so?

A telegraphic note from Dana Redington, retired from industry and living in Laconia, N.H.: "Can't seem to stop working. Have new career - part-time, commuting college counselor at The White Mountain School, Littleton. Better working with students than with stainless steel."

Bill Ely writes, "Last February Isabel and I took a 'scouting trip' around Florida, starting from Key Biscayne, up to Lake Worth, then west via Lake Wales and down the West Coast. Stopped in on Mary and Mac Collins on Siesta Key. Then we cruised from Port Everglades via the Panama Canal to San Francisco on the Royal Viking Sea. I'm happy to report that Fran and John Lyle, now retired from medicine and Mary Hitchcock, are living for half the year about a mile from us in Melvin Village, N.H. (The other half year is in Southern Pines, N.C.) They are great golfers - occasionally I've played with them."

From Bill Wyne: "We have spent all summer at our place near Charlevoix, Mich, [almost as far north as you can go on the Lower Peninsula - Ed.], and will stay until snow flies. Have done a lot of cruising and fishing on both Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. Looking forward now to Mexico, where we usually spend the winter."

Finally, here's an assortment of address changes, some of them short-short stories of retirement. Jim Bayles, retired attorney, is moving from Beulah, Mich., to North Arlington, Va. Bob Stauffer is retiring from the University of Wisconsin faculty but staying in Madison. Herb Heston, retiring from institutional development, is moving from Warrenton, Va., to Center Harbor, N.H. Ed Kaiser, geologist, goes from Fiddletown, Calif., to Port Townsend, Wash. Joe Bender, in state government, is staying in Melrose, Mass., but making a short move to 31 Youle St. Gordon Haverkampf, economist, is sticking with Chicago but moving from West Washington Street to 880 Lake Shore Drive. Jamie King, president of Vimar East, is still in Garrison, N.Y., but moving from Indian Brook Road to Route 9-D. Trophy winner for the shortest move of all: George Ellis, who has moved from 55 Purchase Street in Milford, Mass., to 37 Purchase Street in Milford, Mass. And Morris Levine, insurance executive, is moving from Coronado, Calif., to Cranbury, N.J. (Since the launching point for Coronado was Linden, N.J., there's got to be a story here. Morrie, would you consider taking pen in hand?)
