Six classmates have died since the last issue went to press. Obituaries will appear in this or a later issue.
You have all received Hazel Macomber's November "Twenty" newsletter, a six-and one-half-page highly successful effort.
The following came from Al Frey. CharlieCrathern writes: "Have had our problems this year - Elsa has lost her eyesight, so our routine has changed somewhat but we still carry on." Bobbie Baketel writes of his father, Sherry Baketel: "My father stays very well physically, but mentally not so hot. He's forgetful (aren't we all?) and confused, but always cheerful and happy! Dartmouth has always been the love of his life and is meaningful to him now. He is in his own home with a wonderful woman taking care of him . . . and my husband and I and our children, plus great-grandchildren, are in and out all the time." From Sam Center: "Great to hear from you! We don't get around much lately. Marion's eyesight is poor but spirits are high. We had a severe auto crash in Florida last year three crushed ribs for me, cracked kneecap for Marion. It changed our life-style a great deal." Bill and Laura Carter: "It always lifts our hearts to hear from you . . . even if it is a bill! Weather here is improving. Recently we had our windows open all night. We expect typical heavenly Arizona weather any day now. The snowbirds have begun to arrive, the sure sign of coming winter. Prior to the Doug Carter family vacation at West Point, Maine, Doug went with 'People to People' to South Africa for three weeks, a marvelous experience. He'll be visiting us soon, a business trip in connection with his new private business, Globex, which looks very promising." From Leo Ungar: "Omaha Club had a party for five new students. Quite a few attended but Alice and I were the only '20s. Our daughter has a daughter, Katie Payson, going to Dartmouth this year from Falmouth, Maine. She is a state champion swimmer and diver for her age. Our grandson Peter is a junior at Andover - hopes to go to Dartmouth." From Russ Jones: "It is good to know that you are still in there pitching. Take care of yourself. There aren't too many good men left!" From Pat Holbrook: "Hi, folks - have been waiting to hear from you. Went to Dartmouth-Princeton game. Had lunch with 1921, 1922, etc. Sherm Adams started it off. Nancy and I sat at table with Sherm, Hazel, and some other wives of '20 guys who have passed on."
