1938

WOLFF AT THE DOOR ...or at least at the telephone. A chat with Al Wolff reveals this quondam college professor currently Keeping busy in less academic but equally rewarding pursuits. Besides gardening and going to a lot of plays, Al has apparently committed 1938's version of harakiri: after a bold foray into the world of golfing—taking five or six lessons to be exact—Al went back to tennis.

In another hit-and-run expedition, Al strode fully capped-and-gowned into a commencement exercise at the University of Bridgeport. "While I marched in the faculty procession," he reports, "I marched out alone. Soon."

PAN AMERICAN FAME. The release from this foundations's publicity maven reads, "Dartmouth alumni J. John Jova has received the Pan American Development Foundation's Trustee of the Year Award for his outstanding leadership and dedication to the work of the Foundation. Jova has been a trustee since 1971 and served as President from 1989-1991 ....

Throughout his years of service Jova has been a shining example to all who have been motivated by his generous concern in helping the people of the Americas. "Now here's one alumnus whose many and many-splendored efforts have earned him the right to be an "alumni."

BOBBING ALONG. If his early june plan actually materialized, Minneapolis's BobFaegre did a bit of fly fishing in Montana last spring. This after returning from Sanibel, Fla., where he usually spends half of each year.

Bob has just recovered from a big-time auto accident in which he totalled his car and spent several weeks in and out of the hospital. So far Bob hasn't gotten back to golfing, but his latest check-up at the Mayo Clinic gave evidence that could change all that.

UP SCHUBERT'S ALLEY. Enjoying retirement at his Gettysburg address, DickSchubert has been mixing a lot of reading with a melange of cross-country skiing, golfing, and hiking. Sounds like a recipe for good living.

DERRING DOs AND DON'Ts. Australia and New Zealand are the sites of the latest daredevil exploits of Pat Gorman and PeteTalbot. With his last note, Pat sent along Trudi Talbot's letter to the Gormans. Between them they had received press coverage that even a president would golly-gee for. From Trudi: "We see by the papers that you've been diving the Great Barrier Reef. 'Awesome!'" From the Dunedon Otago Times (heavily edited because of space limitations): "Dr. Talbot, sporting an artificial knee and artificial hips, raced his Saab Sonnet 11, etc.... (Later) He and Mrs. Talbot tried paragliding off an 1,800 meter peak." Bottom line: Pete argued with an uncooperative boulder and fractured five ribs and a shoulder. But, says Trudi, they're "already looking for the next adventure." Pat, the ultimate survivor, did Australia, Vail, Switzerland, and Austria with nary an accident. Also awesome!
