1925
Paul and Laurice Brundage gave a report on their travels and families in a Christmas letter. After Paul's successful lens implantation in December 1981 they drove 8,500 miles from their home in Jamesburg, N.J., to the West Coast and back, visiting family and friends. Their children and grandchildren are well scattered and busy at interesting careers. This past winter they were headed for Dunedin, Fla., for January, and they are planning a Sitmar cruise to Alaska from San Francisco in June.
Our sympathy goes to Bill Boies of Naugatuck, Conn., whose wife Claire died in January after an illness of two years.
A five-foot by three-foot bronze plaque enshrining the philosophy of Ernest Martin Hopkins regarding the place of athletics in a liberal arts college.has been installed at the inside entrance to Alumni Gymnasium. It depicts Prexy Hopkins and Earl Blaik watching football practice. A Manchester Union Leader photographer, taking a picture for a Sunday feature story, happened to catch Larry Leavitt examining the tribute to his two old friends.
Larry and Dot were at Punta Gorda, Fla., for March and attended a Dartmouth luncheon in Naples where they joined the Levinsons, Bob Weinig, and Ross Beatty.
Ken and Lydia Nugent took a trip this winter to Costa Rica to visit their son, who is stationed at the embassy there as a political officer. They returned to Sarasota in time for a party at the George Newmans', where the Burnses, Hunts, and Garlocks, and Bill Bunting were also present.
Hazel, widow of George Scott, died this winter at her home in Laconia, N.H., after a long illness.
Hanover Holiday," a program for those 45 years or more out of college, will come June 13 through 15 this year. The theme will be "Challenges of the Eighties." If you do not have details and are interested, write David Orr at the Blunt Alumni Center.
Bud Brown and his wife Brownie, owners of the Friendly Pines Camp in Groom Creek, were awarded "Spirit of Arizona" plaques at a special Admissions Day session of the state senate. These plaques are awarded to residents who best" typify the spirit of Arizona through their accomplishments in preserving the western tradition. The Browns have owned the camp for more than 40 years and were selected because of their long-standing service to helping the youth of the community attend their camp.
Ted Geisel is in a new field. A recent dispatcn reports that he has signed an exclusive, World-wide licensing agreement with Coleco Industries Inc. to design and market a line of children's games and toys, including video games. They will involve such Dr. Seuss characters as the "Cat in the Hat" and the "Grinch."
Ted also got into the news in Philadelphia, home of the '76ers basketball team, when a teacher, discussing Horton Hears a Who, began to explain who the author was. "I know who Dr. Seuss was," a little boy interrupted. "He plays basketball." The teacher commented that he must mean Dr. J. "No, I mean Dr. Seuss. He plays basketball and then he goes home and writes books."
This item was sent in by Curt Wright, who started with us but interrupted college for a couple of years and finished with 1927. He lives in Ambler, Pa., and still has good memories of 1925.
