After ten years in educational consulting, Bob Sandoe has joined his son, Mike '75, in his land development business, building homes in the Hanover-Lebanon area. Bob and Nancy have moved permanently into their circa-1790 farmhouse in Ackworth, N.H., and state that the welcome mat is out anytime for '46ers.

Brad Morehouse spent five days this past summer in the College Grant in northern New Hampshire, fishing with his eldest daughter and 14-year-old grandson. Not only did grandson catch the largest fish, but also encountered a bear on the river! Brad and wife, Marion, visited Russia and Finland earlier in the year. He has recently redone the local Dartmouth Club bylaws and will be visiting Hanover for football games and a Hood Museum event this fall. Brad's several college-related activities certainly attest to the truth of his statement that "the blood is still green."

Nice to hear from our football captain and all-Ivy League end, Dale Armstrong, that he and Gloria are enjoying life in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., as well as a second career. Dale retired from U.S. Steel in April '83 and, after six months of golf and travel, joined Rouge Steel in Dearborn as v.p. sales. Their four sons are in Michigan, Colorado, and California (two), and there are currently eight Armstrong grandchildren.

Dr. Oliver Thresher remains in ob gyn practice, but confining his work to office gynecology due to the"the malpractice nuisance mess." Ollie has six children and four grandchildren, with son Oliver Jr. an M.D. in Philadelphia in family practice. Ollie and Diane recently have moved to a sixacre site at 319 Woodview Rd., West Grove, PA 19390.

Another classmate headed for retirement is Gary Slighter. He reports that in June, 1989, the Slighter clan has planned a family reunion in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, with his 88-year-old mother, her six children, 24 grandchildren (five Gary's), and 16 great-grandchildren, two of the latter being Gary's granddaughters. Gary states that with all of his children away from the nest he and Lorraine are now ready for travel. Incidentally, he also mentioned that Dartmouth grads Don Page '47, John Alexander '48, and George Lesler '51 have worked for Sterling-Winthrop Research Institute almost as long as he.

Jack and Mary Tyler have now lived in North Carolina for over two years and thoroughly enjoy the nearly year-round golf and the wonderful seashore. Visitors have been abundant, and Jack urges any classmates vacationing near New Bern, N.C., to give a call as the door is always open.

Regretfully, word has been received of the death of yet another classmate, CarlWilliam Hagelin, on July 28 in Lancaster, Pa. Carl was active in Dartmouth affairs doing enrollment work and serving as 1979-1980 president of the Delray Beach Dartmouth Club. He is survived by his wife, Mary Lee, four sons, a sister, and two grandchildren.
