1933

We have several communiques which have been received as addenda to the delightful 60th Reunion, so well managed by the old maestro, Jack Manchester and his supporting panel headed by Beaand Jeff Davis, Bill Hitchcock, at al.

Ed Foley, our new VP, reports that surplus contributions of $388.50 for the EmmyHobbs tree project have been turned over to the Winston and Emily Hobbs Memorial Fund, as mandated by the class meeting. The fund will be managed by Melanie Norten of Dartmouth's Stewardship Office and will be administered as directed by Emmy's family.

Dick Lyon, who was industriously clicking his ancient camera at all the reunion events, has sent on a set of color prints, including one of the class group at the tree dedicalie tion in front of Sanborn. It's remarkable how mature our crowd appears.

Gobin Stair, who appeared on the panel at our symposium, found the experience "rewarding" and reports that he "got to meet some surprising classmates." How about a little more specificity on these characters, Gobin? He thought that the 1930s "sing along" showed that "in some respects, our old class is out of touch with reality." Who can say that he's mistaken about that? But what's wrong with a touch of nostalgia?

Miller Wachs, from Stamford, Conn., sent us a copy of his "six-page attempt to guide our President in setting a new course for our country." We told him that it reminded us of the screeds we used to receive when we were situated in the Rayburn Building. Miller had some good points, but Bill apparently hasn't yet had a chance to put them into effect. Miller's plea for shorter campaigns hits it right on the nose.

Having failed to reach Bill Teahan when we called him for a recent column, it was great to see him in Hanover at Reunion with his son, the judge. It was a real chore for Bill to drive up from Holyoke, and the class appreciated his devotion.
