1918

These notes arrived in Hanover along with your secretary, who attended class officers weekend on May 2 and 3.

Phil Tusting wrote the secretary: "You and your daughter have a nice trip to Hanover and enjoy the visit with your son in Middlebury."

Ed Felt increasingly likes his new location in San Antonio. He and Clara are gradually finding how the "other half' lives in Texas. When they were invited to a ranch picnic, to save them the strain of a 100-mile drive, the host put his helicopter at their disposal.

Les Brown recently recalled his work at Ma Randall's eating club and his roommates Ray Barrett, Clint Carvel, George Daniels, Larry Wallis. and Dick White. As he wrote, he was preparing to watch the famous Boston Marathon on TV.

President Chet Hulbert reported an en- joyable vacation with his son Richard '5l and his wife Debbie and their two children at the beautiful Surf Side Beach Club in Warwick, Bermuda. Like your secretary, he is very fond of music, and he sang in his church choir for 17 years. The Sunday after he resigned from the choir, someone in the congregation was overheard to say, "They must have fixed the church organ."

Howie Park, among personal thoughts not for quotation in trying to convince your secretary why the shortage of items from classmates, added an observation that's a gem. To quote: "Who, other than local politicians and a few of us local yokels, cares a whit the Miami area is being turned into a Hispanic stronghold by the Cubans from Cuba and the boatloads of Haitians who arrive daily from the Bahamas, hungry, penniless, uneducated, sul- len."

Tom Sturgess visited his stepson on St. Sim- mons Island and his older son in Fort Lauder- dale. He also had a delightful visit with George Carpenter and his wife Beatrice. Tom had not seen them since many of us left Hanover for World War I service.

George Carpenter also reported on that visit. At the time of this writing, the Carpenters are on the way to be in Hanover at the end of May to attend a grandson's graduation and marriage. They will stop in Philadelphia so Beatrice can attend her 60th reunion at Swarthmore College. It is possible they will visit your secretary at Kendal, for there are Swarthmore friends also in residence.

With sincere regrets, we report the deaths of Raymond P. Tarbell, Gene Markey, and JohnPaul Erwin. Obituaries will be in this or the next issue.

This is the last month of the 1980 Alumni Fund. Have you sent your gift to Hanover or, if you have, do you now find you can add thereto or remember a classmate with a memorial gift? Baron Von KapfT and his team of class agents merit a Green Derby win only to be had by full participation and exceeding objectives.
