Dorothy continues in her career as an antiques dealer and recently participated in New England's biggest antiques show in New Haven. I joined her for part of the time, which gave us the opportunity to stay with our daughter, son-in-law, and their three children in nearby Orange. So this is Connecticut month for the class notes. For those of you in that general vicinity, mark June 3 on your calendar. Binney Tower reports: "Emmet and Julie Fallon '45 have joined Shirley and me in forming the Dartmouth Club of Brooklyn, Conn. Monthly luncheon meetings are scheduled for the first Thursday of the month. These will be held at the Golden Lamb Buttery (Brooklyn, Conn., of course) which received high marks from the New York Times last May.

We would like to see a good turn-out for our first meeting on June 3 and develop a strong group for future programs." For those of you who have never had a reason to journey to Brooklyn, now you have two! First, to help Dartmouth's newest alumni club get off the ground, and second, for you and your wife to have lunch in the finest restaurant in Connecticut (possibly New England).

The agenda is brief: martinis — 12:00 noon sharp, lunch — when we get to it, business — brief, and good fellowship — all afternoon.

Directions are simple: Find the intersection 0 Routes 6 and 169. North on 169 two miles and left on Bush Hill Road one mile to the big red barn on your left. Reservations are appreciated:Box81, Brooklyn, Conn- 06234 or 203/ 774-4423,but we'll squeeze you in anyway."

Harry Townshend lives in New Haven and is a rector of and chairs the trust committee of the Northeast Bank Corporation. His wife Deb is a writer and has published a number of books on historical subjects. They recently returned from a month's vacation trip to New Zealand, where Harry concentrated on the fishing. There are five Townshend children and ten grandchildren. Sharon lives in Portland, Maine, and is a successful artist. Unlike so many of our families with widespread offspring, the other four children have all settled in Connecticut: Harvey and Timothy are involved in lithography, Cynthia is a clinical psychologist, and Nancy is married to a banker.

Harry keeps in touch with Bob Liming, a radiologist in Marblehead, Mass., and John Wynne, an attorney in New Haven. Bob and Barbara Liming are reported to have bought a retirement home in Hanover.

John Jenkins of Westport is a steady commuter to New York City, where he is general sales manager for Imperial Knife. Thanks to two Dartmouth sons and a Hanover wife (the former Mary Mecklin), the Jenkinses are frequent visitors to the College. Son Robert 'B4 is now in Europe on a special program with seven other students visiting museums and archeological sites, prior to a semester in Europe. John Jr. '73, with a Columbia M.B.A. and a master's in public health, now works in Washington, D.C. Two daughters both live in the state of Washington. Pat, a linguist who has lived in Iran and Germany, teaches Vietnam refugees, and Shelly is physician's assistant. For Mary and John, "travel is our thing." Sample trip: a villa in Provence.

John sends word of one of our newest Con- necticut residents, Bill Zeitung, who was with Marsteller Inc. advertising in Chicago and has now come east again and lives in Norwalk. When last heard from, he was on a business trip to Turkey. John also hears from Dave Schirmer, in New Canaan, busily thriving as a management consultant.

And that's it from the Nutmeg State. If I missed you when I called last Sunday, drop me a line. Or better still, come to Brooklyn (the other one, see above) on June 3!
