1930

As many of us gradually settle into retirement, it becomes so natural to think that all classmates are similarly disposed. Not so, and one of them is Garven Dalglish who writes, "Busier than ever! Book coming out any day now Of This Man, the story of Wm. A. Hillerbrand of Hospital Furniture International fame. Plus writing for Cardigan Mountain School, and chairman of its English Department, plus full time teaching and commuting 66 miles daily, including Saturdays."

Similarly, Ken Grevatt in Palo Alto became tired of retirement and has gone back to work at the V.A. Regional Office in San Francisco.

Recently we had occasion to talk with the Van Leers and find both are doing well, although Grace reports a little heart problem. Here again, Wayne continues as president of his firm and brags that he is as boisterous as ever; they both are basking in the smiles of another grandchild.

An interesting one of Milt Mclnnes's newscards comes back from Mrs. William Snow (the widow of Bob Johnson). "Our newest endeavor is building ourselves a new retirement home on a hill. Just returned from seeing my son Richard in Cottage Grove, Ore., and Bob Jr. in Atlanta, Ga.where she spent last Christmas with the grandchildren. Her address is Morrill Road, Canterbury, N.J. 03224.

Here are a few address changes for your directory: Mrs. Paul Shanley, c/o Michael Shanley, 531 West sth Street, Oswego, N.Y. 13126; Mrs. William Keller, Whispering Winds, Lusher Hill, Warwick, Bermuda; and Mrs. Fred F. Jaspersen has the same address, but the ZIP is 20816.

Julien Ryan writes, "Ancient history by now but all true! A mini-family reunion consisting of myself and my wife Bette, Bea and Walter Draper of Canton, Mass., and my brother, M. A. (Bud) Ryan, and his wife Alice from Minneapolis, Minn., for the William and Mary weekend game. The 'game' a disaster, but the 'mini' an outstanding success."

We are very sorry to report the death of Mrs. Robert J. Glasgow.

At the recent banquet of the Clearwater chapter of Trout Unlimited, Bill Fenton was awarded a framed set of "Emergency Flies" tied by his fellow board members and a picture of himself floating a fly on the Kinderhook in honor of his two years as president of the chapter. Bill says, "In case of an urgent emergency one can break the glass and tie one on. Until then the award hangs in the dining room in Slingerlands, N.Y." Tie one on ... ?

We do believe Milt and Grace Shultz have more moves than a basketball player this time to 3422 Tallywood Lane, Sarasota, Fla. 33577. To any classmate, Milt offers free and expert advice on how best to get from here to there.

And now, for the most significant item in this last column before the close of the Alumni Fund drive, listen to our Class Agent Ave Raube describing his organization: "Lix Doherty deserves top billing because she, alone, year after year, handles all memorial gifts with outstanding effectiveness. The assistant class agents are Charlie Austin, Bob Chittim, Lee Chilcote, Chuck Faye, A 1 Fisk, Jack Fitzpatrick, Charlie Humiston, Milt Mclnnes, Jim Mitchell, Charlie Rauch, Burt Sherwood, Chuck Simmons, Wallie Wasmer, Charlie Widmayer, and Ted Wolf; plus Bob Bruce, Dick Parker, Win Stone, and Bob Winter, who are helping on 'special problems' in 1982."

As Ave indicated in his April letter to all class members, he needs all the help he can get this year not just from those mentioned above, but also from every single individual on the class roster. In the early returns, 1930 is untypically at the bottom of the ratings in both dollar contributions and per cent of contributors.
