1927

Bill Ward wrote from Winter Haven, Fla., that Fran died last May after 61 years of a happy marriage. He keeps fit by swimming several times a week.

A Chrismas note from Earl and Gertrude Krogstad, Tyler, "Texas, noted their 50th wedding anniversary last June and the arrival of their first great-grandchild in July. Both Kroggie and Gertrude are active and well for their time of life.

Dr. Jack Draper died last November in San Mateo, Calif., where he and Mary had moved from Hastings-on-Hudson, N.Y., their home for many years while he practiced urology in New York City.

Chuck Baker informs me that Jack left a bequest to the College, and Mike Ross's estate has added to the amount already given, to total a sum of three and a third million dollars, a truly magnificent gift and expression of their loyalty to Dartmouth.

Bob Long, chairman of our 65 th Reunion in Hanover, June 12-14,1992, suggests a challenge to our class to top the following 65th Reunion attendance records of the preceding three classes: 1.) 1925 had the largest total attendance (classmates, wives, widows, guests), with 56 present; 2.) 1924 had the largest number of classmates present, 25; 3.) 1926 had the largest percentage of living classmates with 23, which was 2 5 percent of their class. Hopefully, those living near Hanover will make the effort to exceed these figures by attending in June.

Rog Bury sent a Christmas note from Florida bringing news of the Bury family, which is scattered from England to California. Rog plans a return to Vermont by May to help Bob Long prepare for the 65th Reunion. Bob is sending farther details and urges your participation and support.
