1926

"Our trails did not cross during our days at Dartmouth" were words in a letter to the secretary from Duckie Heacox in response to his annual class birthday card. These words came naturally for one who spent a 30-year career with the New York State Conservation Department which provided many forests, streams, and mountains to explore. Two well-known books The Compleat Brown Trout and The Education of an Outdoorsman written by him recorded his love for trails and such. Duckie and his wife, Dottie, make their home near the Berkshire Hills in Millbrook, N.Y. (Some of the secretary's Hanover trails were invisible in snow several, by mistake, were off the "big jump.")

Hump Campbell's 1926 Aegis was lost in transit 30 years ago during moving from Pennsylvania to California. An extra one could find a good home at 455 East Ocean Street, Apt. 701, Long Beach, CA 90802. Hump thinks the 65th Reunion sounds great, but feels needed at home caring for is wife, Doree. He said Kier Boyd wrote that he expects to make a try for it in 1991.

The Sarasota, Fla., Dartmouth '26 delegation now has only three members Ed Hanlon, Gib Robinson, and George Leyser, the latter noting in a recent letter that he is the only living classmate pictured on page 124 of the 1926 Aegis. He also mentioned that he is the remaining alumnus of the Thayer School class of 1927. The delegation has good reason to rejoice.

Chuck Morton was duly impressed by his birthday card picturing him in 1922 in the Dartmouth Freshman Green Book, even though viewing it 68 years later at his home in Darien, Ga., with the local temperature reading 93°.

Last April Dick Husband had a slight stroke affecting his left leg, and now feels 90 percent recovered. This permits our rear admiral and long-time member of the U.S. Power Squadron to climb an eight-foot ladder to work on a charting boat. Resumption of travel depends on wife Dorothy's recovery of good health following a bout with the flu.
