1931

Bill Landon wrote that while his current activities don't make headlines, they are accomplishing results for the elderly. Five days a week he is a transporter for a nutrition group whose work sounds like our Pennsylvania Meals on Wheels. He promised that with a little notice, I could be a noon meal guest, and hoped that I shall have a peaceful visit in April to Hanover where he visited Bunce Clarkson in 1984, and totaled a good Pontiac during the trip. We can take a lot of pride in the community service such as Bill's being performed by our classmates.

Athalia Barker wrote that husband Bob has been in a nursing home since last fall. I hope that some of you in that part of Massachusetts can give her a call and perhaps drop in to say hello.

John H. Chamberlin called with the news that Ellen and he were shortly flying to the Near East to visit their son John '63, who is an officer in one of the U.S. embassies. We'll just have to get Ellen and John to our mini-reunion in the fall to report on a part of the world where there's a lot of action. John also planned to attend a coming meeting of the Syracuse Dartmouth Club for a speech by President Freedman.

The March 1989 Veterans Committee annual meeting was held for the purpose of electing veteran baseballers to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but, again, our RedRolfe wasn't elected. Many thanks to classmates like Jack Weisert who put their shoulders to the wheel. We'll keep trying.

Letters were received from Baumrueker,Clarkson, Dwyer, Henry, Hunter, Snow,Sutton, and Thorn, each expressing his concern about matters in Hanover. Our president, in his letter, made the excellent suggestion that maybe the agenda of our class executive committee meeting at the time of Class Officers Weekend in late April should consist principally of a discussion of such matters. Your scribe plans to attend that weekend and, if so, will be delighted to report on that meeting.
