Our classmate Jules Rippel, through the Fannie Rippel Foundation, has again come forward to give the Dartmouth Medical School an electron microscope, which should be of considerable benefit to the research projects. The price of these instruments runs in the neighborhood of half a million dollars.

Arthur Gordon says his doctor says he is recovering nicely from a coronary due to 50 years of arteriosclerosis and that he is working on his newest book on Latin epigraphy. Arthur Wormcke has also been confined to a hospital with the same thing. Herb Behan is recovering from a cataract operation and says he is now facing an operation for lung cancer. BillKimball, of grandfather fame in the class, now is looking for another record. At the age of 85-1/2 he says his doctor sees no reason why he should not live to be a hundred. If he does it will be quite a record, as actuaries say that the last member of the class will probably succomb in 2002. James Dodge says he and Ethel are in good health. He must have young ideas because he is searching for the rest of the words to the song containing the words "The bravest by far was the Abdul the bull bull emir," as sung on canoe trips. If this editor gets it from any of the class and if it is still suitable for this column we will republish it for the benefit of the class. Otherwise possibly the editor of the not so prestigious other class newsletter might get away with it.

Charlie Marsden, retired professor of sociology at Rutgers and author of Minorities in America and articles on "Alcohol, Marriage, and the Family" is one of our seemingly long lost classmates so far as news is concerned. Let's hear from more of you newsworthy men.

Jean Hubert writes that her daughter has Mox's beautiful voice and disposition and "who could wish for anything more?"

Welcome back in the news the Reverend Monsignor Carlos Sanchez, known to most of us as "Carlos," who writes of his reminiscence of a hiking trip around Hanover and his dog Chuck's entanglement with a skunk.

Cap and Marion Palmer seem to both be candidates for implants. Good luck.
