1930

Milt has told you about our great 60th, including who was there. We were especially pleased to see Sally Magenau recovering from last year's brain surgery, and Bill Bragner, making progress after a severe stroke.

Our sympathy goes to several others who had expected to come but finally had to cancel because of personal or family emergencies. They included Gar Dalglish, the Maury Chaits, Brownie and Tootie Neff, and the Jack Woosters. I know there were others who had hoped or planned to be there, but in vain. We missed all of you. And what happened to the Weavers and that Stutz Bearcat? I never heard of a Stutz breakdown.

We also missed the Alan Leslies, who, homeward bound from Eastern Europe, would have won the long distance prize. But Alan got salmonella in Leipzig. No East German hospital for Dr. Leslie; he and Fannie air-evacced to Hanover, and he admitted himself to his old brick schoolhouse, Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital. He recovered too quickly, two weeks before the reunion.

Speaking of medics, I elected to attend the Medical School luncheon on day one. Of about 40 reunioners attending, 15 were '30s: two Hights, Henry Kohn, two Lathams, two Olsens, Rauch, two Sanders, two Shaskans, two Rip Vogts, and Marr. The speaker was DMS Dean Bob McCollum, who is retiring as dean to return to teaching after eight and one-half crucial years spearheading the development of the new Medical School. Dean McCollum was then our guide on an hour's bus trip around the new DMS, a real "gee-whiz" view of a twenty-first century medical center.

At our final June 13 luncheon we discovered that that was Lari Widmayer's and LizDoherty's birthday (and would also have been Liela's). Charlie Rauch led the birthday song. The previous evening Charlie led us in closing the class banquet, not with our usual "Men of Dartmouth" (er "Alma Mater"), but with a good old "Eleazar."
