1940

Birthday greetings to Lew Chipman with a Cape Cod postmark stimulated his memory of the days when he taught swimming and life-saving here at Camp Monomoy-Wono. That camp is still in operation, while most of the rest, including Viking, Namequoit, Pleasant Bay, and Quanset, have recently folded because of exorbitant insurance costs and astronomical land profits when sold to developers. At that same time Bob Lake was a lifeguard at the ocean beach in Orleans. No problems for those guys with the freshman swimming requirement.

Tucson is getting to be a hotbed of 1940 sun worshippers. Joe Dunford, president of the alumni club, reports recent luncheon attenders included Christine and CliffHolmes and Beb and Bud Czerny.

Les Nichols is planning another European Tour for his comrades of the Tenth Armored Division. When this group is added to earlier ones, the number will top 700.

Dick Funkhouser and Joe Rinehart met at the luncheon of the Dartmouth Club of Miami and spent much of the time enjoying Bob Austin's 50th Reunion edition of the Indian Drum.

We are sorry to have to report the deaths of Calhoun Sterling and Charles W.Campbell.
