1923
New dates for our 60th are Monday, Tuesday,and Wednesday, June 13, 14, and 15.
After a careful census of probable attendance' by students, parents, alumni, and official guests, the College administration has reluctantly rescheduled the 1983 reunions of six classes, including our own. Hanover and its environs just cannot at one time accommodate the numbers expected. We will be joined on the new dates by '28, '43, '47, '48, and '49.
Herb Home and Chet Bixby now have a semi-firm program lined up which will be finalized at a reunion committee meeting following our Harvard weekend class meeting .on October 16.
Many of you have fond memories of the former Inn Motor Lodge on Lebanon Street. Converted some time ago to dormitory use), it still provides a private bath with each room and is readily accessible to the campus. Our class will be given first choice of its rooms.
This first fall issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE containing class notes will reach you after our scheduled Harvard game get-together. I hope that somehow or other many of you will have found it possible to be in Hanover for the meeting. Twenty other classes have planned similar get-togethers for the same weekend. Every room within 50-plus miles of Hanover is booked solid. Connie and I find ourselves.67th on the Hanover Inn waiting list. We shall be there for the meetings and the game however, and we hope many of you can join us.
The increasing size of alumni groups creates a serious logistics problem for all of us. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton weekends are everyone's preference, usually in that order. As a practical matter, however, we may have to settle for an earlier date and a lesser attraction.
The summer months have brought muchappreciated mail from many of you. Thanks so much, particularly to those of you who so thoughtfully sent me news clippings of the deaths of four of our classmates. I expect the obituaries of these men will have been included in the September issue.
Carl Reed writes that "after a busy summer of good and not-so-good days I am back on the golf course four or five days a week and playing in the low 90's."
Carl's reunion and Margaret's at Wellesley coincide in 1983. We hope they can coordinate the scheduling. As is true in most of our families, the Reed children have finished their educations and are on their own Nancy, University of Pennsylvania '47; Carl Jr., Dartmouth '44 and three years on nuclear submarine duty; David, Princeton '55 and an M.B.A. at the University of Rochester. There are also nine grandchildren, one of whom, Jeffrey, is Dartmouth '76 and earned his master's degree at U.N.H. in 1978. He is now living and working in and around Hanover for a structural steel company. Two great-grandchildren complete the present Reed roster.
Both Carl and Cap Palmer write that they have heard from Karl Stadlinger recently. Karl and Gene Gay-Tifft were classmates at the Nichols School in Buffalo. Karl, whose wife died some years ago, has retired from the practice of medicine and is "still holding down the fort in a too-big house" which he says would be a shame to give up for someone else to mess around in the garden after doing it so long himself.
Cap Palmer's summer report also includes a copy of a letter to him from Kully Lundberg. Kully and Marie are presently in good health following a difficult year in 1981, when both had to undergo serious but successful surgery.
Vin Baldwin writes chat he and Connie attended her 55 th reunion at Smith this summer. He adds: "It was my good fortune to squire four distinguished Smith alumnae of Connie's class around the Smith campus."
The Baldwins ended their eastern trip with a visit in Providence, R. 1., with daughter Priscilla and her husband and one of their grandsons who was home for the summer recess. He is an art student at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and an undergraduate at Tufts. An older grandson is a senior at Columbia this year and was spending the summer working for the university in New York City.
