1923

There are so many controversies going on at the College that I will make this column more on the line of a country newspaper and try to confine it to "personals," which will be difficult because of the magnitude of the events. Class Officers Weekend was in May, and Pete Jones planned to come up from the Bahamas, Cap Palmer from Los Angeles, possibly Ike Phillips from Vermont, ConnieDodge from New Hampshire, and Bee and I were there from Massachusetts. Dick Udall sent along his treasurer's report showing a slight increase of the bottom line with $15,256 scattered in four places for safety and well invested.

Marjorie Moore has sold her house and moved to a town house in Brewster. Vince Baldwin has finished 50 years of singing in his church choir. He is a member of the Council of the Diocese of Chicago and personal attorney for past Bishops of the Diocese. In 1980 he became Senior Council of the Illinois State Bar Association and is still active in the practice. Jules Rippel has apparently had some medical problems as he had a coronary artery bypass. He comments, "Don't do this just for a lark." Mitch May, for the first time in 40 years, missed spending the winter at Palm Springs. He says he is "just plugging along." Cap Palmer's comments about the College are not for these notes - they may be better printed in "Skiddoo." Carl Gray's book on bionics must have been very well received as I have had many requests for his address. And speaking of books, have you seen the new one by Ted Geisel '25 (Dr. Seuss). It is marvelous in its portrayal of an octogenarian's visit to a clinic.

Win Wadleigh has been in either a hospital or nursing home since early November. George McKee is in the Green Mountain nursing home in Winooski, Vt. He still wears the Dartmouth sweater and bathrobe. Joe Malone lives in Yarding, Pa., and lost his wife, Mary, last July. Don Patterson says he is still "quite active" and holds board memberships on the Shepherdstown Historical Commission, Men's Club, and Ministerial Club. Although Don's had surgery for a broken hip and a hernia and pneumonia, his doctor commented to an associate at the time of surgery, "He may be 84, but don't worry. He's as tough as an old horse." Charlie Zimmerman spent the winter as usual in Florida. He had a dinner party for some of the alumni along with Barbara Hood, wife of Harvey Hood '18.

Bud Freeman writes that the scholarship fund is doing very well because the college investment committee has it out at compound interest. Our scholarship recipient, Peter Regan '85, a biochemistry major from Massachusetts, graduated magna cum laude and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. He hopes to work with the World Health Organization and then go on for his master's in modeling systems and policy analysis.

A very grateful letter came in from Tom Naughton '89, recipient of a scholarship from the Charles Zimmerman Fund. There should be more of these from our class fund sponsored and managed by Bud Freeman. I wish we had more of these letters of appreciation.

All sorts of letters do, however, come in relating to the College, Trustees, apartheid, minorities, coeducation, etc., but by the time this is published most of the action will have passed. At any rate, have a good, healthy summer, and if I can scrape up any news, I'll be back with you in the fall.

Edward Winsor '24 was honored with the Alumni Award at Class Officers Weekend in May. After graduation from Harvard Law School, he was associated for 60 years with Edwards and Angell law firm in Providence, R.I. His civic and community responsibilities and contributions would "overload a computer." He has served Dartmouth as president of the Rhode Island alumni club, member of the Alumni Council and its vice president, area chairman of the capital gifts campaign, chairman of the Dartmouth Committee on Bequests, and has been class secretary since 1983.
