1927

This being our last communication until October we're cramming as many of our news items as possible into the small space allotted to us.

Ross and Jean Guyot celebrated Ross's 80th birthday, in February, by leaving their home in San Juan Capistrano for four days for a trip to Santa Barbara via Morrow Bay and Ojai. Ross keeps in good health by cycling and swimming almost every day.

Gordon Pulver, after a teaching career spanning almost 40 years in New York City and New Jersey, has now comfortably settled down in Pine Plains, N.Y., the same town where he was born 80 years ago.

Win and Louise Rodormer visited with Paul and Helen O'Connell last March at the U.S. Seniors Golf Association tournament in Sea Island, Ga., and then took off for a Caribbean cruise on the White Cloud, one of the tali sailing ships. Paul imparted this to us in a recent card which also described the active golf season that he and Helen enjoyed down south this past winter.

Ted Selig has moved from Lancaster, Pa., and now lives at 7 Herbst Haus, 485 West Second Avenue, Latitz, PA 17543. He and Dorothy planned a cruise on the inland waterway from Savannah, Ga., to Baltimore, Md., and a tour of Alaska this summer.

Other travel news includes our belated reporting that Fred Fellingham and friend took an interesting trip last fall when they boarded the vessel Shoreham II in Providence, R.I., with about 70 other passengers. They traveled up the Hudson River, then along the entire length of the Erie Canal, with its 60 or more locks; to Lake Erie, and finally up the St. Lawrence River to Montreal and the Saguenay fjord.

Alice Wormser was busy last winter, as usual, with her contacts with widows regarding the College's memorial gifts program. She spent three months in Jupiter, Fla., where she enjoyed ample golf, tennis, boating, and swimming.

In a recent letter, Steve Tracy waxed enthusiastic about the nothing-short-of-miraculous improvement in his handwriting and gave full credit to a successful eye operation last December when he had a cataract removed and a plastic lens implanted.

During June we welcomed Lewis Kesaris and Theodore Rose as the newest members of our "Made it to 80 Club" and sent them the congratulations of the class for their achievement. In a sadder vein, we regret to pass on the word of the death of John Upham on April 25 of a massive cerebral hemorrhage. John had not been in good health for several years.

And now, we have just enough space left to report briefly on the annual COW (Class Officers Weekend) held May 4 and 5. With the exception of Tom Gillespie, who had to cancel out at the last minute because of the illness of his wife Dot, all of your officers were on hand, namely: Paul Hannah, Bob Long,Charlie Paddock, Jay Willing, Bob Williamson, Paul O'Connell, and Frank Strong. Together with all of our lovely wives, we were delighted to be brought up to date as to what is going on in the lives of the undergraduates and in the changes and improvements in the physical plant. Steve Tracy and Dot joined the group for a brief meeting of the executive committee on Saturday afternoon, followed by a lively cocktail party graciously hosted by Bob and Peg Williamson, and capped off with a class dinner in the Hanover Inn dining room. This cozy event has now become a regular part of COW for us and a great time for the officers and their wives to become better acquainted with each other.

Have a good summer.
