1926

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts worries about the recession and Red Sox, but the following Dartmouth '26 Bay State inhabitants still drop their R's, broaden their As, and listen to the Boston Pops Esplanade concerts:

At her Newton Lower Falls home Mary Lou Orr is relaxing after rendering her 65 th Reunion treasurer's report to class treasurer Ed Raisbeck for a successful, wonderful reunion with 45 in attendance. In 1986, when we lost Stew, Mary Lou volunteered to be treasurer of the 60th Reunion with very similar success. And now who knows our 70th Reunion comes in 1996 . . .

Dick and Ruth Nichols, North Hill, Needham, will be at the family summer place in Sharon, N.H., to celebrate the 200 th anniversary of Sharon's founding. The Nichols family is thoroughly Dartmouth: son Andy '58 has a daughter, Stephanie '83, and son jim '60 has a daughter, Jennifer '87, and a son, Richard '89, who is married to Heidi Stowell '88.

Charlie Macdonald, Rockport, and his son Bob '57 are ticketed to cruise down the Ohio River on the Mississippi Queen, while Helen Clare will be at Boot Pond, Plymouth, with her daughter Kathy and a lively trio.

Bob and Stephanie Hodgdon, Taunton, have been enjoying friendship and bridge games with Larry and Jean Kennison of nearby Westport. Alumni Fund Regional Agent Larry, at reunion, gave Head Agent George Scott a super Massachusetts report, but now Larry has a health problem that may cause a hold on Hodgdon activities.
