Concerning THEODORE BLISS, who died January 1, 1984 in Melbourne, Fla., information is scanty and not recent. Ted enlisted in the naval reserve in 1917 and did not return to Dartmouth. After sales and advertising positions in New England and New York City, he moved to Florida's west coast and, according to the March 1949 Alumni Magazine, was assistant manager of a large nursery. □ □ □
EDWARD MARSHMAN DEROUVILLE'S wife, Helen, wrote to A 1 Frey that her husband had died peacefully on Christmas Day 1985. She added: "Ned had a strong sense of loyalty to the College, despite his short stay there. He would have liked to attend the reunions but was not strong enough." The class appreciates this loving message.
JOHN CHARLES FELLI died July 13, 1986 at his daughter's home in Morristown, N.J. Al Gate wrote in the class notes of December 1983 that John transferred to West Point in 1918 and then went on as a first lieutenant in the field artillery until he returned to Hanover as.a Tuck student. He received his Tuck degree in 1923 with top grades. A distinguished business career followed. He was with General Motors from 1923 to 1931, treasurer of General Aviation from 1931 to 1933, and treasurer of North American Aviation from 1933 to 1936. He then moved rapidly up the ladder at General Motors until he became an assistant treasurer, a position he held until his retirement in 1959. John and his wife, Ann, who died in 1982, had three daughters.
1921
Classmates will find that the last page of the 65th reunion directory is devoted to the life and achievements of ALEXANDERYOUNGERMAN, who died October 19, 1986.
The Miami Herald used a three-column banner headline in announcing his death and described Alex as a prominent real estate developer and broker who had died at his Bay Harbor home after an illness of several months. Alex was best known for his role in the development of the Jacaranda area in West Broward. In 1968 his firm, Groner-Youngerman, was acquired by the Gulfstream Land and Development Company, with Alex becoming senior vice president. He remained active with that company until January 1986.
Alex grew up in Somerville, Mass., and entered Dartmouth in the fall of 1917. We remember him as an impressive self-confident man, whose presence immediately commanded respect. After majoring in economics he settled in New Haven, where he manufactured and sold women's sports clothes. The business was sold in 1948, and Alex and his wife, Reyna, moved to Miami Beach.
In addition to Reyna, Alex is survived by two daughters, Judy Gindy and Mariana Green.
The class of 1921 mourns the loss of Alex; more than ever we regret his inability to be with us for our last official reunion. So do the members of the Dartmouth Club of Miami, where he was president in the midfifties.

1952
Dartmouth and the class of 1952 lost one of their most popular and loyal sons with the death of CHARLES MAURICE LYON on October 7, 1985 in Little Falls, N.Y.
Maury, known affectionately by many nicknames, was born in Ilion, N.Y. and graduated from local schools, and then the Holderness School. He got his B.A. from Dartmouth in 1952 and his M.B.A. from Tuck in 1953.
His legendary exploits in Ripley Hall continued into the Phi Delt House, where he was known for his congeniality, wit, and helpful hand. He fished every stream in New Hampshire, and he skied every mountain in New England. His friends were legion. He was a walking Dale Carnegie Institute . . . and free of charge!
Maury joined RCA after service in Korea with the Army Finance Corps, and then in 1957 he went to work for Martin Reel Company, where he eventually rose to president and CEO. But making fishing reels was not really "work" for Maury anything to do with fishing was his joy! In fact, several years ago he gained recognition in the press for a successful seven-and-a-half hour battle with a 27-pound chinook salmon on a fly rod with 12-pound test line.
In 1961 he married the former Katharine Mulford, who, with their daughter, Caroline '84, survives. His father, Albert T., was a member of the class of 1922.
Maury was a man who loved people. He showed that love to his family and friends every day of his life in countless outward ways, but most importantly just by "being there." Now that he is gone, it is clear how much we felt his love, because we miss it so.
BILL HUTCHENS '53
1953
FREDERICK PAUL WOLF died August 8, 1986 of cancer. Familiarly known as Foxie, he grew up in Winthrop, Mass., and attended Cushing Academy before Dartmouth. Upon graduation, he spent three years as a lieutenant in the army and then started a career in the insurance industry, first with Prudential and then with Johnson and Higgins. He located in New Jersey, splitting his time between Montclair and a summer home in Spring Lake. Leaving insurance, he became involved in sales of money market plans and then in computer sales and consulting. In his later years, misfortune was a constant companion: divorce, family illness, and a bout with alcoholism which he overcame. Foxie had that unique and great capability to spring back and to remain positive in spite of some tough circumstances. At the time of his death he had joined the Unity Church and had undertaken the three-year preparation for its ministry. The philosophy and the teaching of that church is positive and upbeat with a central them of sharing God's goodness. Undoubtedly Foxie had found something with which he had a great affinity, and it is a shame that he couldn't have completed this chapter of his life.
He is survived by five children and one grandchild. Class condolences have been expressed to the family through his oldest daughter, Georgina Wolf Corrrenti.
1958
Dartmouth and the class of 1958 lost a friend, AARON MORRELL, who died in San Francisco on September 10,1986 after a long illness.
Aaron, a native Californian, graduated from McClatchy High School in Sacramento and entered Dartmouth, where he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. After graduating from Dartmouth Aaron served in army intelligence in Berlin and then entered graduate school at Indiana University in the field of Slavic languages, earning his M.A. in 1964 and completing his course work towards a doctorate. He then joined the faculty of the University of Viriginia, where he was an assistant professor specializing in Russian studies.
In the early 19705, Aaron had a near-fatal automobile accident which left him legally blind and memory impaired. While he knew that he would have to abandon his academic career, he resolved to complete his doctorate, which he earned in 1974. Along the way he completed a master's degree in library science, and then took a position as a librarian at the University of Alaska. He told me that in spite of his cold weather experience at Dartmouth, he still lacked the proper antifreeze in his system to survive the Alaskan winters, so he returned to his native California. He worked at the U.S. Department of Immigration and Naturalization in San Francisco.
We remember Aaron for many things: his sensitivity, his love of music, his unbridled enthusiasm for San Francisco, his constant desire to learn something new, his loyalty, his support, and his self-deprecating humor; but what stands out more than anything else was his determination.
He leaves his son, Michael, of Irvine, Calif., his mother, Dorothy Morrell Labhard, and his stepfather, Theodore J. Labhard Sr. of Sacramento, Ca.
DAVID S. BADGER '58
1969
DAVID HOWARD LIEBERMAN died at home on November 11, 1986 after a valiant 18month struggle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease).
Dartmouth has lost a devoted alumnus. David loved Dartmouth. His four years there were among the happiest of his life. From his activities as Gile Hall dorm chairman to his runs to the Skiway with occasional time out for classes, he enjoyed every minute. He graduated premed with cum laude status. As a senior, he was elected president of Pi Lambda Phi.
After graduation he and his wife, Deane (Wellesley '7O), moved to Chicago, where he attended the University of Illinois Medical School. In 1973 he started his internal medicine internship and residency at the Albany (N.Y.) Medical Center. He established a private practice in Albany and served on the clinical and academic staffs of Albany Medical Center and St. Peter's Hospital.
Frustrated by the effects of medical legal issues and increasing governmental restraints on the way he wished to practice medicine, he left medical practice after eight years. In 1985 he moved his family to Ridgefield, Conn., and joined Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals as associate director of investigative research. Unfortunately his illness curtailed his involvement after a year, although he continued to work until six months before his death. Even then he maintained close contact with his associates from his home.
Throughout all of his moves and changes, he remained involved and concerned with all aspects of Dartmouth, from interviewing local candidates to fundraising. His sons, Tim and Benji, born and raised in Dartmouth sweatshirts, will never forget their dad's lifelong pride in being a Dartmouth graduate.
David is survived by his wife, his two sons, his brothers Lawrence '72 and Richard, both of California, and his parents, Alan and Beatrice of Elgin, Illinois.

1976
MARK R. LANDSBERGER ("Grabber") died on August 7, 1986 after a long struggle with liver cancer. Among his Dartmouth friends Grabber will not be forgotten and will be greatly missed.
Grabber lived life intensely but never too seriously. My first recollection of Grabber is watching him ride his unicyle in front of Mass Row during our freshman year. Later, his raspy voice and sense of the absurd became affectionately reknowned among his fellow brothers at Sigma Nu Delta. You only had to watch him walk on stilts through the bands on Green Key Weekend to know that here was a person who knew how to have fun. But more than this, Grabber was a loyal and true friend.
Grabber also worked hard. A graduate of Syosset High School in Jericho, N.Y., he participated in the Marching Band, intramural sports, the Karate Club, and WDCR. He majored in math and graduated magna cum laude with distinction. After Dartmouth Grabber received an M.B.A. from the Harvard Business School and went to work for Teradyne in Boston and later for Ataria in San Jose, Calif.
Grabber was a gifted person, but one without pretense. He poked fun at life, yet loved it all the same.
Grabber is survived by his father, mother and sister. Memorials may be sent to the College, c/o Gift Recording, Blunt Alumni Center.
E. KING POOR '76
1983
JEFFREY SMITH LAMB died October 7, 1986 of accidental asphyxiation from a faulty gas heating system at his home in Manchester, Vt. He was 25.
Jeff arrived at Dartmouth from Deerfield Academy, majored in engineering sciences, was a member of Sigma Nu Delta fraternity, rode extensively with the bicycle club, and attended Thayer School. At the time of his death, Jeff was working as a project engineer for Albertsson-Stadeli Corporation.
It is hard to convey the sense of tragedy surrounding this loss. However, I can offer the thoughts many friends composed in correspondence to Jeff's wife, Dianne Nesto Lamb '84; they give some idea of Jeff's qualities and our feelings for him:
"I remember Jeff so many times in my memories of Dartmouth he touched so many of our lives. He was one of the first people I met at Dartmouth; I'll think of him whenever I ride my bicycle." "Jeff will always represent what is best about Dartmouth. He was bright, athletic, knew how to enjoy himself, and helped others to do so, too. Jeff's loyalty and enthusiasm for his friends affected all of us significantly."
By all accounts, Dianne and Jeff were an extraordinarily close couple; their happiness together was noted and admired by everybody.
Jeff did not miss his opportunity. You knew he was a special friend. He was quiet yet loving, a competitor yet sensitive. He had a smile and thoughtfulness which often took the place of words. Those of us who knew Jeff well did not miss our chance to be the friend of one of the best among us at Dartmouth.
Jeff leaves Dianne, parents David M. and Mary, brother David, and sisters Cheryl and Peggy '87.
Memorial contributions may be made to the College, care of David Eckels, Blunt Alumni Center.
