With sadness we report the passing of three more classmates.

Myles Lane, one of the greatest Dartmouth athletes of all time and one of only two Americans inducted into the collegiate Halls of Fame of both football and hockey, died of Alzheimer's disease August 6 in a nursing home in Manhattan. Myles graduated from law school and had a distinguished career as a United States attorney in Manhattan and an associate justice of the Appellate Court of New York. He was honored by leading the torchlight parade on Dartmouth Night October 1982. Myles attended our 55th reunion and later that year was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's.

Hank Graupner, a retired New York City lawyer, died unexpectedly on July 24 of a heart attack at his summer home in Cape May, N.J. Charlie Magnagni of Brattleboro, Vt., died July 13 in a nursing home there. More detailed obituaries will appear in the next issue.

As we go to press (August 15), more bad news. Our president, Rick Rickenbaugh, has had a stroke and is in Denver's Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital.

It has taken Brad Brown years to write us and with new limits on our allotted space we'll pass the letter to our newsletter editor. Of current interest is Brad's comment on his two years in Teheran with his family. The Stanford Research Institute in 1955 sent Brad to Iran to head a group of people providing the Shah with assistance in packaging and food production. Brad says: "This was a third-party contract between the Marshall Plan, SEATO, and Iran. Actually it was a waste of time and money. Those Iranian were the cleverest thieves I have ever seen. By the way, the correct pronunciation of Iran is l-ron, not l-ran. It drives me nuts listening to the news people saying I-ran."

Jerry Sass could not get to the C & G centennial in Hanover. He and Rachael had just returned from a fortnight in Hawaii. Rachael was involved in a symposium for physicians. He and Rachael have concluded the disposition of their medical clinic and Rachael's private practice. They both enjoy tennis and swimming regularly.

Charley Proctor says he had to give up skiing but keeps busy tinkering around the house, taking auto trips, and visiting children and grandchildren in Sun Valley.
