1946

College sources have passed along word of the activities of Renold Thompson, who is president of Oglebay Norton Company, a Cleveland-based raw materials and Great Lakes marine transportation company. It serves the steel, ceramic, chemical, electric utility, and oil and gas service industries with iron ore, coal, and other minerals used in hot metal processing. Renold received a degree in metallurgical engineering from Case Western Reserve after finishing Dartmouth. He is a director of Lubrizol Corporation, Central National Bank of Cleveland, and the Eveleth Taconite Company in Minnesota in addition to his deep involvement in numerous industry and trade associations.

Ray and Sue DeWees came to Hanover from their home near Dublin, Ireland (their Gaelic is showing only modest improvement) to spend' Freshman Parents Weekend with son Chris '86. Second son Walt will be entering Penn State in the fall. We hope to be seeing much more of them between their visits to Hanover and State College and their new apartment arrangement in Dallas, Pa., near Ray's old home outside Wilkes-Barre.

Dartmouth really put on a great show at the Campaign for Dartmouth celebration at Thompson Arena on April 16. More than 600 were present as guests of the College for cocktails, a superb dinner, and dancing. The decorations of festooned green and white ribbons draped in tent-like fashion from the overhead scoreboard made Thompson inviting and friendly. It has never been done better. John and Miriam Fairbanks, Stan and Teddy Feldberg, Jim and Ari Lynch, and Andy Thomson were here for the gala from out of town. Locals included Bob and Jackie Kimball, Whitey and Joanne Burnham, and the Fitchets.

Class Officers Weekend coincided with Green Key on May 6—7. Jim and Ari Lynch and Frank and Pat Ettari were here and joined Reg and Nancy Pierce and Ed Scheu at our house for a pre-dinner pop and a brief executive committee meeting. Frank was honored appropriately after dinner with the Dartmouth Alumni Award for his many devoted efforts in behalf of the class and the College.

This is the last column to appear before the fall, so please make a note of the new date that has been set for our mini-reunion, which is October 22 for the Cornell game. It is also fall Houseparties Weekend. There will be a class executive committee meeting in the morning followed by tent activities at the Kimballs', thanks to these ever-gracious and hospitable hosts. Evening festivities will be at Reg and Nancy Pierce's. Please plan to come.

It is with regret that we report the death of Nelson Qzro Newcomb on May 10, 1982, from cancer at his home in Melbourne Beach Fla. He had been vice president and general manager of the Cleveland Tractor Company living in Bay Village, Ohio, before his move to Florida. Our heartfelt sympathies go to his wife Gloria and their four children. Keep in touch. Best regards.

Frank Kern Ettari '46 was the recipient of an Alumni Award in May for his "professional career of vision, extensive community leadership, and long and effective service to the College." He was cited for his life-long career in the coal industry, currently as president of a large Pennsylvania-based coal firm, in which his son Paul '72 has joined him. His community service has included trusteeships with his local hospital, the Chamber of Commerce, and various charities. And for Dartmouth, Ettari has served as class treasurer, president, bequest chairman, and reunion chairman; on committees for various capital campaigns; and on the Aquinas House board.
