1960

It's hard to believe, but here we are back for another school year, once again looking foward to football and all the other great things that come with autumn. It is also back to our mailbag, which is now quite empty since I used the last four months' of accumulated news to write this deceptively long column. So how about making a New Year's resolution early this year and promising to keep me informed of all your activities; after all, the next issue is only a month away!

Received a letter from John Appleford's wife Peggy bringing us up to date on their activities. They left their home state of Michigan five years ago for Monterey, Va., where John is a practicing attorney. Murray Janis sponsored John for his Virginia license. John is also pretty busy as mayor of Monterey and chairing the district Republican party. The Applefords have six children Patty, the oldest, just graduated from the University of Virginia; Susie is at the University of Colorado in Boul- der (where her dentist is Jim Hernandez '59); Barbie will be attending the University of Colorado this fall; Jake (named after Jake Crouthamel) is in tenth grade; and Laurie and Mark are in grade school. The whole family is looking forward to the 25th reunion. Also, John is trying to locate Steve Moody any information?

Congratulations are in order to the following:

Arthur LaFrance was named dean of Lewis and Clark College's Northwestern School of Law in Portland, Ore., in July.

In addition, for six years he administered training programs in federal litigation for lawyers across the country through the Legal Services Corporation of Washington, D.C. In 1979, he took a one-year sabbatical to serve as a visiting scholar with the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, where he was involved in litigation training for the state and federal courts. He has also written three books in the area of legal education.

Richard E. Bonz of Norwell, Mass., was named president and c.e.o. of Minot, DeBlois and Maddison Inc. of Boston, a real estate and fiduciary firm.

Anyone planning to be in that part of the country would be welcome for a tennis or squash game or just a visit.

Heard from Tom Beadel in Santa Barbara that the Grass Court National 40s and Over Tennis Tourney was held there in June and that our classmate Bill McClung was the only unseeded player to reach the quarter-finals.

While doing some telephoning for the annual Dartmouth fund-raising campaign I got the following news:
