1939

We sadly report the deaths of three good classmates. Bob Jessup died on November 13, after a long illness, and ChuckMaher succumbed to cancer on Thanks-giving Day in Guatemala City where he had lived for many years. Bill Coleman also died of cancer on Thanksgiving Day in his home in Durham, N.C. (Obituaries in this or a latter issue.)

We had a nice letter from WoodyMiller, located in Wyndmoor, Pa., who, along with lamenting about the imbroglio created over the firing of the football coach, summed up his own autobiographical particulars into three concise phrases: (1) from the horse cavalry into piano manufacturing, (2) from piano manufacturing into teaching, and (3) at age 65 into a second marriage and retirement. Squash and tennis have kept the old pulse rate up, he says, and ought to make him available for our 50th in '89.

Fran Peisch (whom we used to call "Mike") writes from his law office in Burlington, Vt., that he recently moved his office from one room to another and turned up a Dartmouth '39 Green Book which he passed on to our president MacMannis for safekeeping and posterity. Fran notes that his name is misspelled in the book.

In case it hasn't properly hit the '39 press, we would like to report that JackCoulson has retired from banking, sold his house in Huntington Bay Hills on Long Island, and moved as of October to 2100 NW 16th Street, Delray Beach, FL 33445. He must be a hop, skip, and jump from the official class magician, Mike Ellis, who missed our 45th reunion only because it conflicted with his 50th at Wyoming Seminary.

Speaking of missing things, that's precisely what happened to your scribe and wife Math. We had been salivating for more than a year with anticipation of our trip to the South Pacific, scheduled for October 1985. Turns out a matter of malaise prompted our friendly doctor to recommend that we stay stateside. We conformed and are planning a brief swing to Florida as something of a substitute, which should be completed by the time you read these words.

We had a newsy letter from LorraineJoel, who reports that her son, Ross, can be seen on the 6 o'clock news nightly on Channel 31, White River Junction's NBCTV affiliate. He is, of course, the son of our late classmate Lew. Lorraine's other son, Lewin III '68, has a book being published by Simon and Schuster, entitled Face Man. It was due out in January.

If you want to raise Colin and KayeHolman, located at 10 Seafarer Lane, Port Ludlow, WA 98365, he can be reached in a hurry by ham radio-call KAOCSC. Colin is a retired M.D. from the Mayo Clinic and Foundation in Rochester, Minn., and has three children and two grands. He keeps himself busy with Rotary, American Cancer Society investment management, and the voluntary fire department-when he's not sailing, golfing, fishing, cruising, playing bridge, or traveling.

Jock Lynch is one of those guys who has not retired. He keeps his hand well into legal matters with Whitman and Ransom. He lives with wife Lois at 3 Grade Lane, Darien, CT 06820, when they are not in their winter quarters at Hilton Head Island, S.C. They share three children and three grandchildren. Jock lists golf as his key diversion from the law books.

Dr. Dick Marton is another guy who is plugging away at his life's work. He can be found with wife Sue at 135 East 83rd Street, NYC, when they are not out on the Island at Westhampton. They have two children, and Rick keeps physically fit with tennis and mentally alert with a good game of bridge.

We have hit the bottom of the old mailbag, and on the basis of this, I would guess that we'll try for our second guestauthor for perhaps the April or May issue. Any volunteers?
