1929

Blessings on John Cornehlsen, Bob Fairchild,Frank Williams, and Bob Chittim '30 for sending word of our loss of FrankMiddleton. How about a word from some of you bashful ones?

Frank Williams, Bob Sherwood, Bob Chittim, and George Klein '28 planned to be at his memorial service in Ft. Myers. We also hear of the death of Charlie Prichard in Nashua, N.H.

Frank Weeks wrote to look for the obit on his M.I.T. roommate Don MacCornack, which finally made the February

issue. Don made the first of Dartmouth's snow sculptures at the Sigma Nu house in 1927. He had roots in Sugar Hill and was interested in its settlers and geology.

Frank has been busy but sends an occasional word and gets a gold star. We need more names and less "creative writing."

I had the joy of a telephone visit with our sterling hockey player Mo Heath in February. Mo lost his Bernice in 1988. He still practices law a bit and sounds full of his usual upbeat warmth.

Duke and Horty Barto couldn't wait for Kendall to open in Hanover and are at Sykesville, Md.

I sent Harris Huston, our jazz authority, The New Republic's cover article on Miles Davis. Harris says Prof. Bill Cole's able biography on Davis wisely dwelt on his early work and left out his later decline.

If you want great background to help you understand Dartmouth, do read B.U. president John Silber's Straight Shooting.

Meanwhile: "Truth crushed to earth will rise again." The power of truth is great, But unless we work to speed the when The what comes too damned late!

Harry W. Tanzi, whose 92 years in Hanover touched the lives of generations of Dartmouth undergraduates, died in Florida on January 24 after a brief illness. In a November 1988 profile DAM described how the long-time shopkeeper of Main Street remembered as a child watching the 1904 burning of Dartmouth Hall, how Nelson Rockefeller '30 became a good friend, how Hanover made Harry Tanzi its Honorary Mayor. A sports enthusiast, as recently as last fall Harry was taking tickets at Memorial Field. He was in demand as a speaker at local groups and was a frequenter of alumni reunion tents. He told DAM, "I have a story for everything," and we suspect that today Harry is still regaling legions of long-ago alumni.
