1945

Occupant is at it again. This time I received a note from him complaining that P.O.B. 39 is stuffed with bills, statements, invoices, ads, coupons, bills, trade magazines, weekly newspapers, monthly statements but no interesting reading. He and I did just finish reading, however, George Barr's February newsletter, which contained, according to our count, news gleaned from no less than 14 of those green post cards. How about some of you out there readdressing a card or two to P.O. Box 39, before Occupant really gets upset and starts Wiping my "$1.OO Refund Offer" checks.

I did receive a touching letter from Ginny Ewell, whose husband, Winchester H. Ewell, lost his valiant battle with cancer just before Christmas. Ginny, who lived with Win in Wigwam Circle after the war, said of him: "He was a very loyal Dartmouth alumnus and was very proud of his college and his friends."

From Washington, D.C., comes news of the marriage last fall of Kenneth E. Nicholson's daughter, Christine '74, to Calvert S. Bowie '73, son of Philip S. Bowie '43. Now how's that for an all-Green affair? There were no less than 13 Dartmouth alumni and alumnae in attendance.

By the time you read this, Robert M.Schaeberle will have received two honors from Pace University its 1982 Leaders in Management Award and an honorary doctor of commercial science degree. All this will have taken place April 12 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City before more than 1,000 guests, including top executives and leaders in business, finance, government, and professional life. Bob, who is chairman and chief executive officer of Nabisco Brands Inc., lives in Morristown, N.J., with his wife and three children. His professional affiliations are too numerous to list here; and although the Pace news release reports him as a '44, we '4ss claim him as one of our very own!

Shirley and I have been bitten by the flea market bug (I probably should think about that one before letting it go to press) and spend part of almost every winter Sunday at one of the large indoor markets in this area. At one recently I ran across a copy of Vincent Canby's novel, Living Quarters, published by Knopf in 1975. For various reasons, including embarrassment over the fact that I was unaware of the novel's existence, I decided to forego my usual routine of bargaining and paid (to the astonishment of the dealer, I think) the price asked (not exorbitant). The jacket, which sports an excellent photo of Vince, who, as I'm sure everyone knows, is motion picture critic of The New YorkTimes, also states that he was "educated at Dartmouth College." I sort of like that. One "graduates" from Podunk U. but is "educated" at Dartmouth. Snobbish, huh? Anyhow, I don't buy books even at flea markets for decoration; I'm going to read it all, not just the jacket.

But, in case you're wondering, I'm not going to review it.
