1934

It's hard to believe that anyone who puts out such a classic newsletter monthly, with such a full range of reports from and about our diamond-age group, could also have time to advise the youthful editors of a sensible new bi-weekly campus paper. BillScherman does that. Pick up a copy of Common Sense next time you're in Hanover—or subscribe for $12.50 a year—and you'll see that the one senior advisor to the editors is our super-Scherman.

It contains pro and con commentary and personal interviews with College authorities and leading visitors to the campus. Do not confuse with Vox, now published weekly by the College for all students and employees.

Last year Art and Barbara Willis enjoyed their first extended swing around the Hawaiian Islands and stopped in California for a visit with son John '62 and family. Westchester travel shows, where I sometimes see them, will help bridge the home time now.

Andy Donaldson is still attached to the Queen City (Cincinnati) even though his wife Nancy broke her wrist in a fall while dancing on one of their riverboats. All's well now and they went off to Florida. Andy bought a computer for Christmas so he could understand his grandchildren and seems to be enjoying it.

He reported that our '34 Directory did not list Patricia, widow of his old roommate, Horace Jones. She is still in Anderson, Ind., keeping track of three married children and their families.

Asked Al Seitner about an address change and he said it was just a move to a quieter townhouse in the same Jacksonville area. He's still active in real estate and lectures at the local community college when he and Helene are not off cruising—like last fall's wonderful "Path of Leif Erickson Cruise" around Scandinavia, Great Britain, and the Canadian Maritimes.

Another traveler is Ken Keeley. It's easier now since his official retirement as a surgeon. In fall 1986 it was the African safari trip and then last year he and Mary shared a bareboat charter in the Virgin Islands with a son and his family. What's a bareboat, Ken—no covers?

Ellie Crandell joined us at the fall mini. Family and friends use her strategic location whenever Hanover functions beckon. Her late husband, Walt, was certainly respected by his colleagues, having been the first to receive the prestigious Joseph Bartlett Award presented annually by the N.H. Medical Society for personal achievement as a contributor to the science of medicine.

My holiday greetings included a program from the Dartmouth basketball team's visit to Hawaii. A Princeton friend sent it, thanking us for upholding Ivy League honor with a strong 80-70 win.

The holidays also provided opportunity for renewing memories. If you missed hearing from old dorm friends or team buddies, maybe now is a good time to write them. Then slip me the word!
