1952

Alumni Fund gift time? Now? Just when that event seems two seasons away, it is here upon us. For the second time in the last three years the class of 52 was awarded the John H. Davis Memorial Trophy by the college for the class results of last year's fund campaign. Bill Breed, head agent, passed along the good news with thanks and congratulations to the entire class. The trophy goes to that class with the largest dollar total in a non-reunion year; '52 came through with $242,872, well above the goal of $227,000.

And yes, next year, reunion year, is now upon us as decisions need to be made about die desirability of a gift in 1991, or in 1992, or, better yet, in both years.

An apology is due Ben Stein for my report moving him from New York City to Macon, Ga. Ben wrote that he was, is, and hopes to continue to be chairman of neurosurgery at Columbia presbyterian Medical Center. He does hope to be able to visit his daughter and family in Macon this fall, but has not made a career move. Ben has been invited to be the honored guest of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons at their annual fall meeting.

A career move that did occur, along with a physical move from Stamford, Conn., was BillMontgomery, accepting the position of chairman and CEO of American Finance Group, a privately held equipment leasing and financial services company located at Exchange Place in Boston. Maggie and Bill, I understand, have moved to the Back Bay area in that city. Jay Anderson wrote that he is now truly retired in New Hampshire and has moved into his home there. Jay can be reached at P.O. Box 983, New London, NH 03257. In August he reported being with a large group of classmates at a breakfast that John and Kay McCrillis gave at their summer home at Lake Sunapee. Rem and Joan Kinne Alden andRuth Guild, Bob Holmes, John and JudyGrocutt John and Judy North, and Bill and Judy Breed were among the friends gathered that morning.
