As an undergraduate he was on the varsity football squad and sang in the chapel choir. He belonged to Chi Phi fraternity.

After leaving Dartmouth, Don became a living legend in the growth and development of Orlando and Orange County. From 1911 to 1924 he managed a family-owned business, Orlando Water and Light Company. This was sold to the city of Orlando and ten years later Don was recalled to serve as its purchasing agent, from 1934 to 1942.

In his later years, Don was the recipient of numerous honors, citations, and testimonials for his many years of dedicated service to civic and community progress. With his death, Dartmouth has lost a loyal son and Florida an outstanding citizen.

We have only recently received a confirmed report of the death on November 11, 1977, of Dwight Luther Granger.

A native of Barre, Vt., Dwight came to Dartmouth from the Randolph, Vt., High School. He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. We have been unable to obtain any information as to the cause of his death and next of kin. He has been out of contact with the College and the class for many years. The only information as to his business interests is a notation in the 1940 College directory to the effect that at that time he was in the marble industry and resided in Randolph.

Robert Covenity Woodruff is presumed to have died, since mail addressed to him has been returned marked "deceased." A request for information addressed to his brother, our classmate Lewis C. Woodruff, has not been answered. Consequently we have no knowledge of the circumstances of his death. Robert attended Dartmouth for only three weeks. In addition to being the brother of Lewis, he was also the brother of George H. Woodruff '18 and Harry W. Woodruff '29.

A funeral service was held at the First Presbyterian Church in Ridge wood and included many tributes to his full and purposeful life; one eulogy included a poem perfect for an ardent fisherman that ended, "I hope He will judge me big enough to keep."

We have belated word of the death of George Edwin Wilson on September 6, 1981, in Vero Beach, Fla. He was one of the nine graduates of Shattuck-St. Mary's School in Faribault, Mich., who came into our class as a group. All but two graduated.

We are indebted to jess Pettee '37, who wrote to Ted in Florida about coming to Shattuck's reunion and received a letter from his wife Sondra saying that Ted had had a stroke in 1976 and that from 1978 until his death he was on a kidney machine.

Jack returned to New York with his family, broke but with a job. In 1973, he was sent west to take over the Seattle division, which included all the northwestern states, until his retirement.

He was a Rotarian, a Mason, and chairman of the Environmental Council for the state of Washington. They belonged to the Broadmoor Country Club.

Jack leaves his wife Jinny; two sons, John III '70 and Robert '78; a daughter, Jane; and a brother, Courtland '41.

Charles Roswell Mann died on September 7 in a hospital near his Topsfield, Mass home. Severely wounded during World War II when he served with the Tank Destroyers in Normandy, he later underwent surgery at Mary Hitchcock that sustained him for some years. Early last September he developed widespread internal bleeding. Told that emergency surgery was possible, he declined it. Offered artificial life support, he turned that down, too.

Charlie was born in Fall River, Mass., in 1916. He came to Hanover from New York Military Academy, where he won letters in three major sports. A Sigma Nu (Delta), he entered an intramural gym meet that included some gym team regulars. They chose difficult routines. Charlie chose a simpler one, executed it perfectly, and won first place.

An economics major, Charlie took all the courses he could in advanced chemistry, math, and physics. Legend had it that he never cracked a book. Asked about that, he replied that he wasn't going to ruin his eyes in the feeble light of the College taproom. Actually, he cracked many books Aldous Huxley and the like.

Soon after graduation, Charlie joined the chemical company his father had founded. He was its president when he died, though by then, he said, he was adept at handling brooms, heavy containers, and trucks.

Charlie was also adept at creating light moments in the heavy chemical industry. He sent the winner of a '38 reunion lottery a 55 gallon drum of caustic soda.

Charlie is survived by his wife Rosalie, known as "Lee"; two sons, George II and Charles E.; two daughters, Leland A. Buckley and Gay M. Folland; a brother, Billings L.; and a sister, Edna M.

EDWARD HARVEY SPALDING passed away on September 3 from heart failure. He resided in White field, N.H.

Ted was with us at Dartmouth only one year, before transferring to the Hotel School at the University of New Hampshire and then going on to a distinguished career in the resort hotel industry. Among his contributions to the field were several directorships as well as the presidency of the New Hampshire Hotel Association and the New England Inn keepers Association. Ted also had been chairman of the board of overseers of the Hanover Inn.

At the time of his death, Ted was the owner and managing director of the Spalding Inn Club in Whitefield, which, with his wife Topsy, he acquired from his parents in 1969. During this period, he was instrumental in expanding the capacity and reputation of that long-established resort, founded in 1926, to its present world-class status.

Based on the belief that the White Mountains region of New Hampshire could reclaim its past glory as a resort area, he participated in a number of local real estate and area economic development ventures. Ted had the capacity for total involvement in that which interested or affected him, and he was a voracious reader. He was a student of public affairs and of New Hampshire and White Mountain history, particularly of the colonial period.

Besides his wife Topsy, Ted is survived by two daughters and three step-children. Topsy plans to continue operating the Spalding Inn and would welcome all friends from Dartmouth as well as the class of 1951.

1958

On September 2, John Francis Lanigan passed away very suddenly. John came to Dartmouth from Belmont, Mass. At Belmont High School, he distinguished himself as an excellent athlete and starred in football, hockey, and baseball.

At Dartmouth, John majored in English and played varsity hockey. He was a versatile hockey player and played both forward and defense, and he was one of the finest left wingers in Dartmouth history. Typical of John's personality was that he accepted the conversion from defense to wing without a complaint as he accepted Coach Jeremiah's need for forwards. John was also a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity.

Upon graduation, John entered the U.S. Marine Corps and successfully completed flight traiing. John flew the A-4 Skyhawk, a jet attack aircraft. He served in the Marines for five years and on completion of active duty commenced his business career with Procter and Gamble. Later, while employed with Bolt, Beranek and Newman, John became interested in computers, and he continued this interest throughout his business career. He received his M.B.A. from North-eastern University in 1969.

He leaves his wife, Dorothy Wynott Lanigan, and their two children Michael, who is a junior in high school, and Kathleen, who is a junior high school student. The Lanigan family has resided in Sudbury, Mass., for the last 18 years. It certainly is hard to imagine that such a good-looking, rugged man is no longer with us. We will all miss John, his wonderful personality, and his friendship.

Condolences may be sent to the Lanigan family at 40 Tanbark Road, Sudbury, Mass. 01776.

Daniel B. Goggin '57

1959

We were greatly saddened to learn of the death of John Taylor Leander, who died July 18. Born and raised in Manchester, Conn., John completed his Dartmouth education through the study of mechanical engineering at Thayer School. After two years in the Navy, he began his engineering career with Emhart Corporation, the glass machinery manufacturer now known as Emhart Industries, which is based in Hartford, Conn. John served Emhart in a variety of positions over a 22-year career with the company.

He is survived by his wife Arlene, a son Eric, and a daughter Kristen. John will be missed,and the class extends its deepest sympathy to John's family and friends.
