1923

865 Central Avenue, K310 Needham, MA 02192

Once again we bring the great family of '23 together with a few notes this time, I hope by bringing in some of the fellows who are not heard from very often.

Mark Whitman uses a green card to say he is reasonably well except for his eyes. Ike Phillips writes, "Things are the same around here and nothing startling in Hanover. Had lunch with Gladys Doten yesterday. She's OK."

Apparently Paul McKown has lost his second wife. Fred Clark writes that he has a second wife and is now living at 23 Christian Drive, Concord, NH 03301. Leon Sargent has at long last retired from the practice of law and now has his home up on the farm in Center Sandwich, NH 03227. His grandson is in the department of radiology at the Mary Hitchcock Hospital. Granddaughter Carrie is a second-year student at DMS, and Steve's wife, Tricia, enters DMS next year. That is quite a record. Congratulations.

Charlie Marden spent last summer at their cottage on Lake Winona and is now back in Somerset, N.J. He is apparently not very well. Arthur Gordon has a ChineseAmerican girl to help him with 10,000 cards and is still working on a book started in 1980. Nat Harmon says no new news—he is living permanently in Glendale, Calif. Dwight Keef still drives back and forth clear across the country with his wife of 62 years but took time off to visit Norway.

Olive Caswell of Cape Cod is definitely planning to be with the class in June for the 65th. Nick Andretta, the trombone player, is hoping to reach his 88th. Cheer up, Nick, a lot of us are already there and waiting for you. Beverly and Barbara Landauer and Barrie Landauer Estes, all send best wishes by way of a green card and we hope they too will be in Hanover in June. Fete Jones says that A. Metcalf Morse is the only one he sees on the Cape. There must be others, so let's hear from them. Paul Soley of Charlottesville, Va., claims that he reads CapPalmer's voluminous notes.

Now be prepared for the 65th. College reunions can be a competitive sport. At early reunions classmates compete with each other about jobs and incomes; at the 25th it's spouses and children. After that they brag about grandchildren and vacation homes while regarding—with envy or glee—classmates' waistlines, hairlines, or wrinkle lines.
