1928

116 Center Street Troy, PA 16947

Class secretaries help each other whenever possible. I'm indebted to Bob Marr '30 for this report on the '28s in Green Valley and Tucson:

"Henry and Bobby Buchtel celebrated Henry's 80th birthday October 2 with a very nice cocktail-buffet at the Country Club of Green Valley, attended by 40 or 50 of their friends and several kinfolk from Colorado and Michigan. One of the highlights, aside from the tasty buffet, was 20 minutes of videotape bringing greetings from other members of the family who were unable to attend.

"Henry and Bobby have some physical problems in recent years, but they were in fine shape for this occasion. I see Henry frequently, as we carpool regularly to the monthly luncheons of Tucson's Dartmouth Club. Jim McConnon also is a

regular and very active member of the Tucson group. I can't say the same for Hod Carver, but I get frequent reports on Hod from our barber, who tells me that he's in good shape for the shape he's in. Jack and Fran Kenerson winter here in Green Valley and Jack is a regular from November through April." Thanks again, Bob.

Riding in two cars in the Dartmouth Night procession the night before the Harvard game were Ed and Dora Flanders, Curly Prosser, Herb and Mimi Sensenig, Joe and Margaret Tidd, and HalMoody. Rick Rickenbaugh had planned to be there, but went to a Denver hospital October 10 with a heart attack. He says he will be home November 5.

At our mini-reunion Tavey Taylor told me he saw the name George Pasfield Jr. in a San Francisco newspaper. It sounded familiar so Tavey phoned him and learned that he was indeed the son of our classmate and former class president, who died in 1965. Young George is with the Redwood Bank in San Rafael.

Sitting behind the Red Sanborns at the Penn game, I met their granddaughter, Pam Lombard '90, of Northampton, Mass., and during the second half learned how excited she was to be a Dartmouth freshman and doing things that all of the 1,000 freshmen were doing, like rushing from our side of the stadium at the end of the first half to the opposite side, and back again. After graduating from Northampton High, Pam spent a year as a Rotary International exchange student, living with a German family and going to school there.

Bob Hill of Hudson, N.H., sat next to me at the Penn game. The only news I could get out of him was that he enjoyed being a delegate to the last Republican presidential convention.

The Dwinells arrived at the mini-reunion only two days after returning from a visit to London. On October 23 they took the river trip on the Delta Queen from Pittsburgh to New Orleans.

Charley and Mary Proctor flew from California to Hartford, Conn., rented a car to visit their granddaughter, Heidi Cary '85, who is teaching at the Vemett School in Deerfield, then on to the mini-reunion. They also attended in Norwich the 50th wedding anniversary of Mary's sister, Susan Sice.

George and Paula Bell mentioned at the mini that they have three children and nine grandchildren, all living in Virginia:

Parker Chick writes that he and the widow of Frank Wallis '25 will be married on November 1 by Archie Crowley '29 in Chatham, Mass. They will live in Parker's house in Chatham in the summer and in Bentley Village, Naples, Fla., winters. Parker's wife, Kitty, died in July 1985.

Four more deaths have been reported since our last issue: Bondy Bond, July 1; Phil McLaughlin, July 26; Ralph Church, September 21; and Art Hassell, October 1.
