Special though it was, 1922's 60th reunion was not the only newsworthy event of June 1982. For example:

Robert D. Kilmarx '50, son of our Killy Kilmarx, became a Dartmouth trustee emeritus upon the completion of his two five-year terms on the board. Bob chaired the following committees: student affairs, educational affairs and facilities, and trustee nomination. The gratitude of the College goes to both Kilmarx the younger and Kilmarx the elder.

Sterry R. Waterman could not stay at reunion for the Dartmouth graduation ceremony on Sunday because as board of trustees president of the Vermont Law School in South Royalton, Vt., he had to confer degrees at its commencement for 130 graduates. Vermont Law School also conferred its doctor of laws honoria causa upon Sterry, the fifth he has received. The precedents were from Dartmouth, the University of Vermont, George Washington University, and New York University. Congratulations to this illustrious classmate, who 64 years ago was just a rear rank private in Company I.

Annie Lee Fauver, widow of our KingFauver, did attend the Dartmouth commencement and saw her grandson, Scribner King Fauver, graduate with honors. He received high distinction in his major, French, and won the Raymon Guthrie Achievement Award for unusual progress in the French language and literature. The three sons of our King and Annie Fauver are likewise Dartmouth graduates'. They are John K. '50, Scribner L. '53, and Benjamin L. '6l. The youngest graduate, Scribner K. '82, is the third Fauver grandchild to receive a Dartmouth A.B. His cousins are Betsy Fauver '77 and John '79, and, incidentally.,, Betsy is an Alumni Fund agent for her class and a member of the Alumni Council. Grandma Annie says, "They have all loved Dartmouth as their fathers and their grandfather did."

Peter Walker Kenyon, grandson of our Max and Grace Kenyon, also received his Dartmouth A.B. with high distinction in major, English. He is nOw working on a radio station in Petersburg, Alaska just as it to be: "Go west, young man, go west."

Harriet Cohn, wife of our Haskell, became a Wellesley College trustee emerita upon completion of two six-year terms on the board of her alma mater. During her terms Harriet chaired the buildings and grounds committee and was on the committees of student life, plans and resources, investments, and nominations.

Your tireless scribe has always had a penchant for writing to women's colleges and when, as customary in the interest of infinite accuracy, he wrote to Wellesley to check.Harriet's committees, he, as usual, uncovered a reportorial gem. The secretary of Wellesley College confirmed the various committees and added, "Mrs. Cohn happens to be one of my very favorite people. She is a beloved alumna of Wellesley and, I believe, has not one enemy in the world." Well, I always thought Haskell was another lucky Company I member.

Fifty-four people, including 28 Twoters, attended the pre-Penn game luncheon in the Wheelock Room at the Hanover Inn. The name list will by now have long since appeared in Ray Atwood's newsletter. The occasion was the first such gathering of the combined classes of '20, '21, and '22. The consensus was that the happy event calls for an encore. Therefore, the luncheon for the three classes will be repeated same place, same time before the Princeton game, September 17, next year. No need to tax memory about it; you'll be amply reminded in class notes and newsletters long before next September.

Sherrill Bates, Harold Frederick, and Walter Gatzert have left the class in sorrow. Obituaries will follow.

Next month, more, and probably the last (as you rightfully hope), about reunion, if memory does not stagger.
