1929

Just when panic prevailed due to the lack of news, in came two fine letters from Ed Kennard and Ed Walsh. Harry Baehr will give them more play in "'29 Up." Ed Kennard reports that he is in good health and that an adjunct appointment at the University of Nevada at Reno keeps him alert in his field of anthropology. He's been out of touch because his work had him "living in Arizona and the Dakotas, where there is a good supply of Indians. It has made visits to Hanover impossible." I won't comment. He started the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh and taught one year at Dartmouth while on a sabbatical leave.

Ed Walsh enjoys living back in "the Free State of Maryland," where he can enjoy the beauty and activity of the Washington area. In his final years with American Can, he helped form a national account marketing association whose annual meetings he ran from 1977 to 1979. He's still on call to chair their government relations committee. We who've heard Ed tell stories know why they keep him busy. He didn't tell us, but other sources report he's enjoying a successful transplant lens job after cataracts. It helps us all to know when others these things work out well.

Duke Barto had a delightful visiit with Harold Montamat on Martha's Vineyard this summer and found him the good, special character he's always een. Al Floyd is still in Lynwood, Calif., working about two and a half days a week. He sends his best to all '29ers, saying, "It was a great class." It still is, Al, and the fewer we become the more we are important to the rest of us. Keep in touch. Harris Huston reports his well-worn and scratchy Barbary Coast record brought $50.06 at a sale. What would your Penn Relays watch bring, Harris?

Paul Babcock has two sons, Paul '66 and Ernest '70, who each have two sons heading for Dartmouth. Can anybody tie that? Frank Small had a heart problem in July but had just come in from nine holes of golf when we talked in late September. John Moxon came back from a trail ride in Montana and took his son and family to the Princeton game. If it had been held in Princeton he'd have seen the game! Sonny Hetfield will be 76 in February, so with his handicap hopes to be able to shoot his age. Like many of us, he put in an alarm system after his house was cleaned out last spring. PerleyPerkins keeps active at the Salem State College gym and works about 20 hours a week maintaining his Marblehead home. He reports seeing Millard and Marge Tucker, who were in Marblehead for the summer and headed back to New Smyrna Beach, Fla., in late September.

Bob Monahan sent us clippings on classmates in an envelope marked Monahan Clipping Service, Hanover. He reported on the deaths of Hal Leich and Ted Shackford and commented on Dick Barrett's passing. They all, with Inches Pierce and Herm Liss, are all too soon gone since our latest edition.

Words may not tell the loss we feel For those who lived and loved and died, But may these lines somehow reveal Our love, and that at least we've tried

David C. "Bud" Macintosh '29 is a boat designer and builder of some 50 years'experience. He is pictured here on the dock of Gamage Shipbuilders in South Bristol,Maine, on the occasion of the launching of the 65-foot, two-masted schooner Appledore, which he designed. He had sailed his own poke-nosed schooner from his home in Dover,N.H., to Maine for the launching, from which the Appledore left for a year-and-a-halfround-the-world cruise. Among the nearly 80 other craft Macintosh has to his credit arethe first Appledore and its sister ship Audacity.
