Scribner Jelliffe of Bloomfield Hills, Mich., has been named as the 11th occupant of the Cranbrook School's prestigious Independent Foundation Chair, an endowed position established by the Independent Foundation of Philadelphia to fund outstanding faculty who spend the majority of time teaching. Scrib has taught at Cranbrook for 17 years in social science and recently participated in a faculty exchange program at Cranbrook/Kent in England where he taught and became familiar with the English educational system. Cranbrook was one of 15 schools to receive this endowment, including Choate, Deerfield, Hotchkiss, and Exeter.

Jim and Dottie Kennedy from Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga were in Hanover for Horizons recently, their first visit since graduation. They got together for a great visit with Frank and Pat Ettari and Bob and Jackie Kimball prior to the Colgate game and "finally saw 33 South Park, which they have read about so often."

Don Millians has retired from a long and successful career with Servicemaster Industries, sold his business and his home in Easton, Conn., and just moved into their newly-constructed home in Weston, Vt. Don "would love to see any old classmates who happen to be in the area." Daughter Penelope is working for Paine Webber on Wall Street.

Hank Parker writes that he is taking early retirement in April 1983, after 20 years of teaching construction management and engineering in undergraduate and graduate programs at Stanford University. He reports no plans as yet for the future.

Family news from the Ralph K. Smith family of Locust Valley, N.Y., indicates that daughter Hilary '79 is busy with fundraising work in the Boston area and that son Russell '81 is selling sporting goods in New York City.

Your class secretary has just returned from the 40th reunion of the class of 1942 at Newton, Mass., High, where he saw Edwin Johnson, who has completed 34 years with the Kendall Company in Boston. Ed is purchasing manager for fibers and textiles, which means a lot of travel, including 35 trips to Europe in the last eight years. Also enjoyed a long chat with John Morrissey, who for the past 20 years has been head of gastroenterology at the University of Wisconsin Medical School. John and Ruth have two daughters Ann is a medical student and Sara a law student, both at Wisconsin.

Reg Pierce spotted a news item about John Emery in the Wilton, Conn., Bulletin. John is chairman and chief executive officer of Emery Worldwide (Emery Air Freight) and has announced the Emery Edge Award, which will be presented to the regular season National Hockey League leader in plus-minus figures. He was pictured with Hall of Famers Rod Gilbert and Gordie Howe, who will be spokesmen for the new awards program.

There was a very fine turnout for the fabled Harvard weekend. Starting with the parade of alumni Friday evening, Harvey and Dottie White and daughter Marion, in her second year at Tuck, led our class and were joined by about a dozen classmates.

We had about 70 alumni and wives here to see Dartmouth's victory string one in a row start with the 14-12 football squeaker over Harvard. The day before, Dartmouth's fine cross-country team had demolished Harvard over the 4.9-mile killer course around the golf course. Our first five finished 1-2-3-5-6 to blow them apart.

Your class executive committee, including Bob Albrecht, Ham Bailey, Jim Barnet, Bill DeStefano, Bob Kimball, and Ed Scheu, met Saturday morning to transact routine business and to consider new class projects (more about this next month). Also present were other executive committee members, Paul Engelhart, Jim Lynch, Bob Heussler, Harvey White, and Jack Whitman. The traditional pre-game festivities followed amidst sporadic rain showers and were attended by Whitey and Joanne Burnham, Andy and Winifred Gruninger, Clark and June Judge, Craig and Dorothy Bedle, George and Elenore Carr, and Robbie and Joan Smith. Also present for the weekend were Bill Bowers, Steve Hoye, Kimball Jones, Jim Lucey, Jack Smith, Leonard Wilson, Paul Barnes, Ed Blatt, Roger Butler, Herman Dressel, Stan Chisholm, Bob Clifton, Charles Cunningham, Bob Grady, Jack Underbill, Paul Barnes, and Dan Ruggles. Don and Margaret Furber, with sons Jeff 'BO and Steve '74, were camping for the weekend at the Sphmx Tomb in a huge Winnebago just too big to move.

Activities concluded Saturday evening with a delightful dinner, shared with the class of 1944, at Alumni Hall. It was a real treat to have Rosemary Marlette with us that evening, along with old friends Andy and Betsy Carstensen '45. Please keep in touch. Best regards.
