1927

Travel news gets scantier and scantier as time marches on. Nevertheless, a few hearty 1927s continue to seek foreign shores for excitement.

Roger and Lolly Bury set forth in April for a six-week tour of Europe, but half-way through they found that to be a bit much. After Spain they cancelled Ireland and went back to England, where they visited Roger's son, Curt, who works for IBM, and is ensconced in a modernized 1490 farmhouse with pools, English garden, deer across the fence, and pheasants in the yard.

Dow Mills also is busy. In June he visited a son in Denver then went to meet his sister in New Jersey. They took in a Boston Symphony Orchestra concert in Tanglewood in the Berkshires, and on July 14 sailed on the QE2 for England where they planned to drive to the Yorkshire Dales ana Lake District. On his return to the U.S. he will drive to Maine for a family get-together, then home to Rochester, Minn., before setting out for the fall reunion in Hanover.

Not so lucky was John Rintels. 1989 was not one of his best years, as he had to cancel two trips and was out of commission for four months with a variety of problems. He was at his place in Chilmark on Martha's Vineyard when he wrote in July.

Other vacationers include Paul and Betty Hannah who were at Falmouth on Cape Cod and Harriet Garfield, widow of Owen, who spent July at her cottage on Bustins Island in Casco Bay, Maine. Ruth and Charlie Paddock had chats with her on one of their visits to their cottage nearby.

Dick Swartzbaugh is coming East from Toledo in October to attend the 60th Reunion of his class of 1930 at Harvard Law School.

Belatedly, we acknowledge with deep appreciation the efforts that assistant Class Secretary Dow Mills, put forth during the past four months in performing many of the secretarial duties while yours truly was recovering from eye surgery.

Hildreth (Bill) Auer died June 29 after a long illness.
