1926

Seeking a change from cold weather and snow in Darien, Conn., Ed and Ollie Raisbeck, our class treasury team, spent a week in Sanibel, Fla., where shells and shark teeth can be found on local beaches. They visited with their twin great-granddaughters, who came down from Shaker Heights, Ohio. They had special good news from Houston, Texas, that another granddaughter and husband had just adopted a onemonth-old son, their first child. So Ed and Ollie celebrated their third great-grandchild.

Head agent George Scott says our class Alumni Fund goal of $75,000 has been reduced by donations of classmates and by memorial giving to a $25,000 balance. We now have until June 30 to reach our goal or, hopefully, to exceed it. That would be a great way to thank George and his team of nine regional agents who do so much to remind all of us how important it is to support Dartmouth.

Bequest chairman Kier Boyd gives this interesting class financial report: last fall DickNichols contributed another $2,000 to the Richard M. Nichols 1926 and Ruth K. Nichols Scholarship Fund, which now has a value over $365,000. Also, the estate of Steven Weston distributed $67,359 to the Weston Scholarship, putting its total value over $400,000. Steve was born and always lived in Danvers, Mass., and died in 1980. He earned his LL.B. degree at Boston University and practiced private law in Boston and Danvers. He never married, was active in Danvers civic affairs, and enjoyed the Dartmouth 1926 Thursday luncheons in downtown Boston started in the thirties. He had a deep love for Dartmouth, following his father, Walter P. Weston, class of 1896.
