1925

The Dartmouth Club of Sarasota met in mid-February with about 200 present to hear President Kemeny. Present there were '25ers Bill and Kay Bunting, Hilda Hardy, Ken and Lydia Nugent, Ed Burns, Don and Barbara Hunt, Mott and Helen Garlock, and Don and Ann Moore. There was a similar gathering in the Palm Beach area.

Bill and Kay Bunting have acquired a home in Sarasota. It is condominium comforts for Bill, who says he will still spend the summer months at his camp in the wilds of Canada or at his apartment in Toronto.

This is the time of year for Florida news. Deak Blodgett left New Jersey in February for visits with relatives and friends in Clearwater and Panama City. On the way between these points he stopped in Jacksonville with Adelineand Doug Archibald.

Delray Beach as usual was attractive to various classmates. The Abels and the Zahms live there in the winter. The Eddie Blakes were there again this winter, and Bill and Billee Jenkins spent February in that town. Early in March they drove to the west coast and hosted a cocktail party for 1925 in Venice. Larry and Dot Leavitt spent some time in Delray in March and early April.

Dick Colton is an active resident of Clearwater and this winter began a one-year term chairing the board of directors of the Morton F. Plant Hospital there. He is also a director of Lykes Brothers., Inc., WTAN radio station, Clearwater Beach Bank, Harbor View Club, and Channel Markers for the Blind. And he is an enthusiastic member of the St. Petersburg Dartmouth Club, which meets in Clearwater.

George Lyle 'BO, whom many of us met when he was an undergraduate and a 1925 Scholar, is back home in Alaska. In December he sent us a Christmas card with a color drawing of an amiable moose seated in a red easy chair, wearing a green "D" sweater and a Christmas wreath on one antler. This good message was inside: "As the Class of 1925 Scholar for the Class of 1980 I would like to take this opportunity to extend my very best wishes to both you personally and the entire class of 1925 during the upcoming holiday season. I would also like again to express my sincere gratitude to you for the opportunity you gave me through your generosity to attend the finest educational institution in the country. I only hope myself and my class can uphold the Dartmouth tradition so well. Thank you all."

Dan Tompkins '62, son of Patch Tompkins, is teaching ancient Greek at Temple University in Philadelphia and has received the 1980 American Philological Association award for excellence in the teaching of classical languages and literatures.

Lynn Hollenbeck, daughter of Frank '54 and granddaughter of Alec Hollenbeck, is a member of the class of 1983.

Perk Fitch looked back this winter on the Harvard game as a red-letter day for him and Kay. They not only enjoyed the game and the class gatherings but were host to Milt and Allie Emerson, celebrating their 50th anniversary, the 100 th year of Dartmouth football, and the reunion of the undefeated 1924 team.

Bob Misch, our wine expert, was invited by the Italian Trade Commission in New York to a fine dinner with 23 wines, all "D.0.C." This means top drawer in Italian wines, but Bob puzzled the diners by insisting that it really meant "Dartmouth Outing Club."

Barrett Lyons was on the Costa del Sol in Spain for the holidays at the end of the year. His son Larry '58, who lives in West Germany, drove down to be with him. Barrett reports that swimming in the Mediterranean was not bad, even in December.
