1944
We're still savoring thoughts of some dandy meals we had last summer and fall with several of the troops and their troopesses as they came through Hanover. In July Bill Craig and I broke bread with Jerry Brody at the Hanover Inn, and some bread! Jerry, one of the premier restaurateurs in NYC, is an Inn overseer, and he just happened to be in town checking on short-sheet beds and the food situation. Thus, he ordered a little bit of everything on the menu and tried a mouthful of each. Bill and I obliged by eating the rest of the six hors d'oeuvres, seven entrees, eight salads, and nine desserts.
Lem and Ellie Arnold were east from their manicured lawns in Van Nuys, Calif., visiting Ellie's mother in nearby Woodstock, and we raised glasses with them during a lovely evening at the Norwich Inn. Lem, going into his 200 th year with Lockheed, has no thought whatsoever of retirement.
Not quite so with Swampy and BlancheMarsh. They are spending less and less time midst their rhododendrons in Greenwich and more and more time at their hillside digs in neighboring Quechee. We went over and dug out some brie and goodies with them and admired their new barn.
Art and Alice Kiendl came east to Hanover from Down East Maine, and we swapped a round of tacos and tales. Retirement for them borders on the ecstatic.
Speaking of highlights, as we were, none could have been higher than our two nights in Seattle (en route to Nepal) with Buzz and Dadie Beattie. Their home on Mercer Island is of the House & Garden variety, exceeded in graciousness only by Buzz and Dadie's hospitality. Buzz showed us all around Seattle and environs, including Snoqualmie Pass. And all that was topped off with a '44 evening that included John and Alice Lesher, and we wined and dined and carried on some. Lesh is retired from Weyerhaeuser but says he's busier than ever as a forestry consultant.
And, speaking of tricks and treats, as we were, guess who we saw practicing dropkicks during halftime at the Yale game: Warren and Madeline Sullivan,Dale and Norma Sisson, and Jim Mc-Clintock. The Sullivans were up from New Jersey, the Sissons here from Con- necticut, and Jim was in from Santa Bar- bara, Calif., more to see daughter Liz 'B6, really, than the Yalies.
Monty Sayce, professor of government at New England College, represented Dartmouth at the inauguration of New England's new president on October 26, 1985, in Henniker, N.H.
A June 1985 clipping has just surfaced, and it reveals that Dick Tarlow and his brother Bill '50 sold their golf shoe firm, Foot-Joy Inc., to the Acushnet Company of New Bedford, Mass. Dick and Bill stay on as consultants.
From Budd Welsh, owner of the Aspen Motel in Manchester Center, Vt.: "We're building an additional seven deluxe units, plus lobby-lounge and new home attached our winter project. No retirement here!"
Chuck Richardson writes that he and Becky had dinner last fall in Maine with Betty and Don Burnham and lunch at their home in Ogunquit with Ellie Noyes '31, longtime Dartmouth track coach, now retired in Durham, N.H.: "I loaned Don my car; it wouldn't start. I loaned him a ten-spot; it was counterfeit. I told Don, 'Well, that's what friends are for.' "
From Dick Paul, retired from Culver Military Academy: "Spent several weeks in September in Europe visiting friends in Luxembourg and Germany. Went to England to research genealogy and check up on family tree. Found roots in Ipswich, dating back to 1590."
A couple of noteworthy hockey items: Dick Rondeau was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame October 5. Over his four-year college career, he scored 103 goals and had 73 assists for an average of 4.4 points per game. As of 1985, he still held 10 different Dartmouth hockey records. Dick said he was thrilled at the honor; Stan Zarod, wrote: "He should have been inducted years ago. He was one of the greatest centers ever to play college hockey."
As for Jack Riley, he retired this spring after 36 years as coach at West Point and the second winning-est coach in the history of college hockey. A nice touch: he is being succeeded at West Point by his son, Rob.
Comings and goings: Chuck and JoanFoster were married December 28. BudPark remarried in Florida, wife's name is Jane. Dave Mills died last September in Florida. Our sympathies.
That's it. Blessings.
