1969

Robert Garnett has published his first book, From Grimes to Brideshead The Early Novels of Evelyn Waugh. Rob is an associate professor of English at Gettysburg College. After graduating from Dartmouth, Rob served in the navy, was a Fulbright scholar at Oxford University, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.

He and his wife, Joanne, have six children and live just outside Gettysburg.

Continuing with news that ElPresidente, Dick Glovsky, gathered from his work for the Alumni Fund: Lee Mitau is a lawyer with the Minneapolis firm of Dorsey and Whitney where he does corporate and securities work. Scott McGinness does his lawyering in the same field at Chattanooga. Rick Lounsbury runs the mortgage department at Onondaga Savings Bank in Syracuse, N.Y., while Sam Crawford deals in short-term futures at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

Richard Lahey has given up trading government treasury bonds and is now in the golf course architectural design and real estate business, I, once again, am saving more of Dick's news for a later issue.

The Homecoming game is October 13 and the class has planned four big events in conjunction with it. First, is the alumni parade on Friday night preceding the bonfire. You and your families may march under the '69 banner. All you need do is show up. Second, there is our annual class meeting that will be held on Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. in 212 Dartmouth Hall. Third, the pregame get-together across from Topliff Hall, and, finally, a postgame reception at the Zimmerman Lounge in the Blunt Alumni Center. The classes of '67 and '68 will join us.

On July 1, Giff Foley died when the plane he was flying crashed into the Niagara River during an air show in Buffalo, N.Y. One of Giff's many business enterprises, Hanover Aero Inc., specialized in aviation promotion, air shows, air races, and the like. Giff was a frequent contributor to this column and his enthusiasm for the College and the class as well as for life in general will be missed.

Take care and write.
