1928

At the class officers meeting in Hanover on May 2 it was decided to hold the annual fall reunion on September 19 and 20, the weekend of the Dartmouth-Penn game. The Norwich Inn has reserved 25 rooms; your deposit check for $25 should be mailed to the Norwich Inn Manager, Norwich, Vt. 05055, by August 1. The reunion attendance is expected to go over 60. Herb Sensenig is in charge of arrangements.

It was also decided to hold our mini-reunions for 1981 and 1982 in September at the time of the first Ivy League game. We will have the ex- clusive use of the Norwich Inn's Ranger Room to meet after the game and have dinner.

After a discussion about ways of honoring members of our class, a consensus developed that we create what will be known as the "Tip- of-the-Hat Award." President George Davis appointed a committee to study and implement a plan, with the understanding that each award will be approved by all officers. Bill Morton will chair the group, which will also include CraigHaines, Art Kneerim, Curly Prosser, JackKenerson, and Os Skinner.

Class Agent Prosser reported that 61 assis- tant agents are hard at work to set new records in giving and participation. A remarkable development is that 20 widows have already sent in contributions.

Other officers reported on their fields of in- terest, and it was voted, on the recommenda- tion of Craig Haines, to elect Harold S. "Doc"Simonds assistant treasurer. The meeting was held at the Hanover Inn and lasted from 2:00 to 5:30 p.m. Present were the eight officers plus Dick Schmelzer, a member of the executive committee invited to contribute to the discus- sion.

Jack and Peg Zellers spent the last three weeks in March on St. Barts and may have missed seeing the Nick Carters, who were th about the same time. It would be nice if you aH told me in advance where you are vacationin Jack said it was their third year at St. Bans arfti they like the slow-paced life no golf, no ten nis, no gambling. Just a beautiful beach with lots of swimming, beach walking, and sunshine It is hard to reach because it has a tricky litt]e air strip that ends in the Atlantic Ocean ana so do the planes every once in a while.

The Zellerses and Rick and Hilda Ricken- baugh have reservations in Williamsburg for next fall's William and Mary game on October 11. The Rickenbaugh's daughter Ann and her husband Andy Kelsey '49 live in Williamsburg The Zellerses are tying in a trip with their daughter Margaret and her husband Gordon Lend '56, who live in Baltimore. Any more '2Bers planning on going to Williamsburg that weekend?

Myles Lane has accepted an invitation from Larry and Mary Lougee '29 to stay with them the weekend of October 18, when the College celebrates its 100 th anniversary of football. Larry's house is only three minutes from the Dartmouth campus.

Thanks to another '29 friend, Bob Drake of Winnetka, 111., we have another welcome bit of '2B news. Bob and his wife had dinner with Hal Pierce and his wife in Lima, Peru. Bob said, "We had a very pleasant time over Pisco sours at Gran Hotel Bolivar. Hal is in great golfing condition (he plays 12 months of the year) and has moved to a new home." Mary and I spent several days in Peru in 1967, and we are still in- debted to Hal for arranging a wonderful trip to Cuzco and Machu Picchu for us. On a later trip to Lima they took us out to dinner at the finest restaurant in Lima, a city noted for its restaurants. Two years later Jack and Fran Kenerson had a delightful two hours over cor- dials in Lima on a brief stopover during their flight from Cuzco back to their cruise ship. When Mary and I flew over the Andes to Cuzco we well remember the fact that the planes did not have pressurized cabins and we had to hold oxygen tubes in our mouths. Not many '2Bers visit Lima, but the Pierces will extend a warm welcome to any who do.

When asked about grandchildren, Don Dodd said he and Velma have five children and six grandchildren, and most of their trips have been to visit, in turn, twice a year, this rather for- midable group. They live in La Jolia and enjoy the ocean swimming and golf, and Velma raises beautiful flowers all year long.

Jo Brew just got back to Cambridge from New Orleans, where he had been helping set up a new national park in honor of a pirate (!), the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park.

Our sympathy goes out to Red Edgar, whose wife Chillie died recently, after a long illness.

Although Harold Fields's 80th birthday is August 9, his friends and colleagues are celebrating his 80th in East Lansing, Mich., on May 8, presumably before he takes a trip. R°> Myers said, "I'm going to drive out from New Jersey to be there. I thought you'd like to knou. and certainly he won't tell you." Harold retire in 1967 as a professor of history from Michigan State University, where he had been since 19- except for military service.

Snow was on the slopes out west last win-ter, and so was Hal Leich '29, picturedwinning a bronze medal in the NASTARcompetition in February in Aspen, Colo.
