1935

More disappointing results in my quest for yearbook material—one more mailing, however, before I call it quits. Even though the response is less than 50 percent, I personally find what comes in very readable and interesting. Might it be worth putting all together and issuing them after reunion, as an unscientific cross section of Life After 55 Years in the Wide Wide World? Your secretary has some weird ideas.

Courtesy of Hobie Griffin, I have a copy of the 1989 Oak Leaf Awards in the Nature Conservancy Magazine, recognizing Fritz Hormel for his performance as trustee and chairman of the South Fork/Shelter Island Conservancy. He was instrumental in acquiring more than $25 million worth of land, and obtaining $69 million in public funds for protection of natural areas in his part of the world.

From Charlie Nayor comes a copy of a Variety front page carrying the headline, "U Elevates Nayor to Casting Veep," noting that Charlie's daughter Nancy has been elevated to vice president of Universal Pictures. Charlie reminds us that Nancy, born in 1960, was "Class Baby" at our 25th Reunion that year.

Here are some gleanings from the responses to my second survey mailing: Otto Calder questions the reversal of the Trustees' divestment policy in apparent response to "a demonstration by a group of vocal students abetted by the intercession of an administration officer ... the inmates running the asylum." As Sergeant Schultz would say-"I know noth-ing!" Cramp Carrick suggests we "reopen the CCC camps and put all the drug and violence criminals in them under the National Guard, and put them to work." Jim Coppetto, "as a doctor," feels that drugs should be sold by the government to drug stores to "eliminate the big barons in Colombia, Peru, etc. Remember the alcohol mess with Al Capone in the twenties?" Once again, I know noth-ing!

with local issues good schools, planningzoning situations, etc.

And Dan Cotton provides an excerpt from Daniel Webster's epitaph which you may find as interesting as did I it starts with a biblical quote: "Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief," then continues: "Philosophical argument, especially that drawn from the vastness of the universe in comparison with the apparent insignificance of this globe, has sometimes shaken my reason for die faith that is in me; but my heart has assured, and reassured me, that the gospel of Jesus Christ must be a Divine Reality..." A good note to end on. Peace and love to y'all—all yall.
