1937

People keep moving. Mort Berkowitz and Marge in January to "a little Brownstone" at 145 East 63rd Street, New York City 10021. Jack Richter retired from general surgery, also in January, and with Jan plans to build a home on the property of the Royal Palms Country Club, Lady's Island, Beaufort, S.C., after he recovers from a prostatectomy. Ernie April retired from teaching last June and joined up with the Realty World office in Salem to keep busy. He and Dot moved from Danvers to Dolliver's Neck, Box 682, Gloucester, Mass. 01930.

Larry Brooks tells us Janie Brown bought a place in West Palm Beach, happy to remove from Taxachusetts and yet reluctant to leave the longtime associations with Gloucester and her cute little home on the Annisquam River. Her new address will be 38 Hazel Avenue, which she describes as a good omen '38 was her class at Smith and Hazel her mother's name. Larry infers Katie and he are gradually becoming motivated in that direction but are not quite ready yet.

Pat Uhlmann underwent a four-bypass heart operation last fall and a month later was out walking up to a mile and a half a day and also spending some time in the office. He was assured by the surgeon he will be riding horseback and playing tennis in a few more months. Such operations have become so routine it's unbelievable.

A telephone cail from Ben Doran informed us he and Marge spent a couple of weeks with Dot and Bill Heroy in the British West Indies. A good friend of Bill's offered to let them use his place, which is not as developed yet as other locations on St. Kitts. Ben had also heard that Art Sloggett remarried last May in his hometown of Honolulu, a very small wedding.

We have sad and tragic news: a call from RogAllen that Hatsie Brown suffered a fatal heart attack at home in Waterville April 25. She complained of a chest pain at night which eased up but.returned suddenly. She passed away next morning in the hospital. Polly McLane reported to us the tragedy that Jack Kenney's son, Peter, 25, was drowned in a kayak accident on Echo Lake near their place in Franconia. He had been an important part in the Kenney tennis operation and most helpful to Jack's business. The class extends deepest sympathy to Ronny and Jack.

We hope you noted in the recent "Dartmouth on Purpose" bulletin an article devoted to "Dartmouth's Super Volunteer" Fran Fenn. His devotion to the College and especially to raising money for the Campaign has produced some remarkable statistics. On the road 510 days to date, 350,000 miles logged, 105 out of 110 leadership gift areas visited, and of the 530 prospects he has called upon, 380 have pledged over 12 million dollars! And on and on he goes, loving every minute.

Recently we reported the death of Mort Ely. We received from his brother Bill '34, who is Mort's only living relative, a warm note thanking the class for the memorial book in Mort's name.

We got a news release from the Dartmouth Club of Central Vermont concerning BandyDwinell as vice president of Rock of Ages Corporation. (He's a vice president of that club too.) The news was about the Rock of Ages gift to the new and very popular Children's Museum, an old wool warehouse exactly one block from our office on the Fort Point Channel in Boston. The museum tore out everything inside the building and renovated with educational areas strictly for kids. In honor of the museum's new home, the city of Kyoto, Japan, disassembled a complete twostory silk-weaving artisan's shop, home, and garden, which they shipped and reassembled in the museum. All this to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Boston/Kyoto sister city relationship. It is complete even to the street outside, for which Rock of Ages donated the granite curbing for both sides and along which all visitors pass with the trained personnel conducting the tour. Children learn of the customs of the Japanese, such as removing shoes and sitting on the floor, etc. It took seven years to complete this project, which was performed by five Japanese craftsmen under direction of the mayors of Boston and Kyoto. Bandy can well be proud of their involvement with the museum, as it is immensely popular and crowded all days and weekends.

Lem Bowen, reunion chair, says details will follow, but here are our reunion dates: Fall reunion, October 23-24, 1981 (Cornell game), and the 45th, June 14-16, 1982 a joint affair with 1936 and 1938.

This is the final appeal for the Alumni Fund. If you ain't guv yet, git it up pis.
