1923

Definite plans are under way for all those who can get back to Hanover for

our 65th reunion in June 1988. Some great ideas are being promoted, and everyone is invited: graduates, wives, widows, even the lame, halt, and the blind. There will be something for everyone. The programs are headed by our own inimitable Charlie Zimmerman. The reunion and the drive for a 65th fund drive will be comp letely separate.

It will probably be held on Commencement weekend, with housing at the Han over Inn. Charlie has a good committee and has made a fine start.

Several letters from Cap Palmer say he is awfully hard up for news. How about sending him a card? It does not have to be green. Any color will do.

Rumors that Peyt Hawes had passed on are absolutely groundless. Charlie Z. heard it, phoned him, and Peyt answered from his home in Portland, Ore. He is also in reasonably good health.

Connie Dodge was honored at a reception given her on retiring from hospital service after 17 years as a volunteer at the Monadnock Hospital. She was the first manager of the gift shop, which paid back the original loan and then proceeded to pay to the hospital $50,000. Bill Kimball is again a great-grandfather Number 9.

George McKee is in the Green Mountain Rest Home in Winooski, VT 05404.

Dick Udall reports that he has been slowed down by one of our senior problems, which for the present has stopped him from his game of golf (36 Hilltop Place, New London, NH 03257).

Ike Phillips writes that his eyesight is failing, but "otherwise I am holding on," and in a letter to Cap Palmer: "Don't get tangled anymore with skateboards."

A note from Helen Couch (Mrs. KipCouch) says that their granddaughter is enrolled in Tuck, after having had the choice of Harvard, Stanford, or Tuck.

Joe Pollard is our representative along with Gladys Doten in Hanover. Joe writes that he will have a cataract operation in October. He says that Hanover is changing, especially in new buildings.

Vince Baldwin is apparently a railway buff, as noted in a letter to Cap. He

speaks of old railroad trips and of how he went through 20 tunnels in 30 miles. He enclosed a picture of one of the giant locomotives.

And now in winding up this column, a quote from Ben Franklin: "There are three old faithfuls, an old wife, an old dog, and ready money."
