1946

As I write, it looks like the Green and Princeton will slug it out for the Ivy League football crown in Hanover on November 23.1 can recall many late November battles down at Princeton with capacity crowds at Palmer Stadium, but I think this is the first time in modern history that die grand finale is to be held "at home." Let's hope for no more than a foot of snow and Dartmouth triumphant.

Dune Fitchet called to tell me that he had seen Bill Graulty while they were both vacationing at Basin Harbor, Vt. Where? Oh, it's over around Vergennes and Lake Champlain. Good to hear about you, Bill. You still in Connecticut? Let's hear from you.

More honors for our classmates: Bill Spoor and Lowell Thomas Jr. were both awarded die Presidential Medal for Outstanding Leadership and Achievement at Lincoln Center in New York City on November 16. This was in conjunction with the College's national campaign kickoff for 1991-92. The list of honorees was certainly an impressive one. Made me kind of proud, Bill, knowing I had given you your corporate start, teaching you the intricacies of waiting on tables in Thayer Hall, many moons ago. Harlan Brumsted has received the New York State Conservation Council's Conservationist of the Year award. This was done at Lake Placid. Harlan's been teaching and advising on conservation and natural resources at Cornell for 37 years.

Rudy Lorraine was inducted into the Kennett High Sports Hall of Fame on October 18 in Conway, N.H. From the newspaper clipping: "Rudy Lorraine '42, of Natalia, Texas, is regarded as one of the greatest athletes ever out of Kennett." As we know, he excelled in football and lacrosse while at Dartmouth.

George Swick writes that my "caustic" remark about his home in Utah was a good way to elicit correspondence. Said he had been in Japan recently, visiting a married daughter who lives there. George can't believe that he never ran into Mort Thalhimer and his wife when George and Mort have been skiing at Alta, Utah, for 25 years. George is now retired after 30-plus years as a consulting actuary in New York. George, thank you so much for all the news. I'11 have to think up some other guys to get caustic with.

Brad Morehouse also wrote and inquired about my health, and I thank him for that. Brad's still practicing law in Fairfield, Conn.— so much so that he couldn't get to the 45 th. He told me his law school class at Yale had 159 out of 163 contribute to their annual fund. He added, "I would like to see Dartmouth equal that!" So would we! I guess you all got Welles Fendrich's report on our 1990—91 fand drive. Again, Welles, our deepest thanks.

With sadness, I must report on the passing of classmates. Richard "Sparky" Bolton, on March 10; John McClelland on August 7; Joaquin Castillo in June; and Alexander Prew on July 6. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the families of all.
