1949

Not only do we have another man in Hanover, but, now, he's my boss! Bob Nutt is another one of our classmates who, as he characterizes it, spend their first four years after high school trying to leave Hanover and the rest of their lives trying to return. After a reputable career in New York City, Bob and his wife have built a house in Thet-ford, Vt., and he presides as the alumni news editor for the Alumni Magazine. Wife Margo is with a small advertising agency in Lebanon. They join Al Quirk, MikeMcGean, and Sam Smith, who work for the College, and, among others, Punchy andDoris Thomas who are commencing construction of a house on their 300 acres near the Nutts.

In addition, we will all sleep better knowing that Jay Urdstadt and his brother, Jeffrey '62 consummated the purchase for $2,100,000 of the Nugget Arcade Building, which includes the Nugget Theatre. Jay is manifestly in a position to entertain classmates more generously than he's accustomed to doing and also to endow the College with a durable memorial to happy days of yore when most of us took Nugget 1.

Ed Graham's son, Scott, is a newspaper reporter who recently made the jump from the Gilroy Dispatch to the Fremont Argus. Both are in California.

Residing in East Aurora, N.Y., which remains a bedroom suburb of Buffalo despite his arresting presence is Brayton "Chink"Meyer. Chink has a nephew in Los Angeles who attended a "roast" of your scribe last spring, and it was wonderful to hear that Chink and wife Mary are living comfortable in his hometown village of 5,000 people. Their son is a junior at Hamilton College, where he majors in philosophy and is a student of Russ Blackwood's. (Russ is a professor of philosophy at Hamilton.) Daughter Ann is happily married and the mother of their two granddaughters. While Chink operates his own financial services company geared to the lower and middleincome market, Mary is an amateur cellist and "excellent home-maker." Chink invites all of his former fraternity brothers at DU to drop him a line or telephone him. What amazes me personally is that Chink recalls the last time we saw each other was at now demolished Cowie Hall at Harvard Business School in 1951 when I wandered over from the law school one day for lunch.

I hope by the time this edition reaches you my marriage to Mara Sikaters will have occurred. It is scheduled for October 10 at the home of a friend in Hillsborough, Calif., following which we are on our way to Israel, France (for a reunion with son, Shepard '86), England, then Dartmouth for the Yale game mini-reunion, and home to San Francisco. We'll maintain residences in San Francisco and Sacramento and trust that you will favor us with a visit or telephone call when you're in northern California.
