1933
These notes are being written for the June issue of the MAGAZINE for hand delivery to the editor on May 7, during Class Officers' Weekend. This is long past the usual deadline of May 1, but I cannot hurry back home to write a report of that weekend's meetings of your officers and mail it back up to the editor to make this issue. I march to the beat of a slower drummer. It is enough to say that all of your '33 officers expected to attend, even Mannie Sprague from California and Sam Cunningham from Florida. I am relying on Bob Fox to give you a complete report in the newsletter, with no tight deadlines and with 24 years of experience in your service compared to my three.
My next notes will appear in the October issue (the reunioning classes monopolize September). Therefore, this is the last reminder that you will get from me about our two minireunions in October. If you want to attend the William and Mary one in Williamsburg, Va., on October B—lo, write to Lawrence "Larry" Reeves at 14521 Kelmscott Drive, Silver Springs, Md. 20906. If you want to attend the one in Hanover on October 15-17 (Harvard game), write to Wes Beattie at 4 Willow Spring Circle, Hanover, N.H. 03755 should you want to join us at the Saturday night "Awards Dinner" at the Norwich Inn. If you need room reservations, write to Joan Cosgrove? Holiday Inn, White Riverjunction, Vt. 05001. Do this last promptly. Rooms are going to be scarce around Hanover that weekend.
Jeff Davis, as head of the 50th reunion, held an organizational meeting on March 17, a good day for a "Big Green" meeting. The following job appointments were made and accepted: JudPierson, treasurer; Jack Manchester, assistant treasurer; Wes Beattie, meals, including banquet agenda; Bob T. Cox, reunion booklet; George Drowne, program cooperation with other classes; Mel Katz, entertainment; "Dumps" MacCarty, liquid refreshments; Jean Meek, ladies' program; George Theriault, memorial service; and Jack Wright, costumes, badges, and favors. Jeff is also in charge of publicity and expects Foxy's and my help.
If it is felt to be necessary, a class travel fund may be established to make sure that a classmate or a widow of one who wants to get to our 50th doesn't miss out just because of a tight personal budget. If you know of, or suspect the existence of, such person (or are one yourself), write to Jud Pierson at 45 Rip Road, Hanover, N.H. 03755. Do that now! We want to know whether this will be a useful or useless fund to set up. Beneficiaries of such a fund will be known only to Jud and the facts will be kept completely confidential.
You were promised information as to how you could acquire Charlie Stege's book JokesWith A Point. written by Charlie Stay-gay (author's own joke, or phonetic spelling). Send 56.90 to CES Associates Inc. ,511 East Charles Road, Villa Park, 111. 60181. You will receive this hard-cover book of 78 pages with jokes compiled by Charlie and categorized so that you can quickly find one appropriate for a sedate bankers' luncheon or a national convention of belly dancers. Charlie is a widower and has four children and ten grandchildren. He is partly retired, practicing some law an, . some writing, merchandising and, of course, public-speaking. He spends about four months each year in St. Croix, V.1.. playing tennis and snorkeling.
Bob Sands and his wife Neatza have now put down mooring posts in palm coast fla. Tied to the posts, occasionally, is their house boat on which they cruise the inland * ways. Bob is fully retired from Pepsi International. His 25 years in Latin major U.S. corporations gave him a background which makes him a valued speaker on that area during his retirement. Bob jogs plays tennis. He and Neatza have four children, two grandchildren, and one great-grand daughter.
Don Vorhees, from Houston, Tex. has mailed a hand-made spike to Jud Pierson. Don salvaged it from the embers of the old White Church when that edifice burned down in our sophomore year. He suggested that the current White Church might like it as memento.
I have received nice notes from Toni Mam Tom's widow, and from Frankie Woodcock Bob's widow, thanking '33 for the memorial books placed in the library in memory of their husbands. Frankie says the choice of "southerr architecture" was particularly fortuitous because Bob loved architecture and had considered that as a profession.
Jack Brooke has sent me a report on the May 1 barbecue which he, along with Paul Guibord and George McCleary, both of '36 organized at the Echo Mountain Inn, near Hendersonville, N.C. The weather and the view from the inn couldn't have been better. Fort) Dartmouths and 38 spouses attended. Jack and his wife Annette were the only '33ers. Twenty-seven classes were represented, ranging over a 50-year span, from '26 to '76. Food and drinks were excellent. A number of TV sets were available to watch the Kentucky Derby. All agreed that the affair should become an annual tixture President David McLaughlin and Judy sen: their regrets, hoping to make it next year. Judy is an alumna of the University of North Carolina and would be "coming home."
Happy summer. See you at the minireunions?
