1931

Despite his baseball knee acting up, Spence Miller planned to attend the mini/ Penn-game weekend, but doubts he'll be at the Princeton game because his grandson's wedding a couple of weeks earlier makes a second trip a bit much. Spence reported that his garden experience this year echoed mine (successively too cold, too hot, and too dry), but the lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, and pole beans were doing well.

With classmate news otherwise scarce it's a good time to try to make contact with classmates listed in the Alumni Directory of 1991 for whom we do not have addresses. These are: Amos, Arthur Berry, Richard Berry, Blair, Burnett, Burnham, Canfield, Caragher, Chen, Clancy, Cohn, Cornell, Drury, Duncan, Fenton, Wallace Fisher, John Freeman, Garlick, Gehring, Goldman, Gorman, Hardy, Hughes, Jacob, Ernest Jones, Kaiser, Ketchum, Kety, Korten, Lill, Meserve, Moynahan, Mumma, Myrin, Ocheltree, John O'Connor, Piper, Winship Reed, Reichart, Revere, Richmond, Rollinson, Rose, Rosengren, Rudy, John Seymour Mabry, Stanford, Millard Taylor, Tingle, Harry Walker, Bob White, Winkler.

Lucy Cogswell, during her years collecting class dues, reported that some of the foregoing had specifically informed the College that they were not interested in farther communication. Nevertheless, I believe classmates and other readers of this column would much appreciate learning what happened to those 52, so I ask readers to send me any information they may have.

In the reminiscence department: I recently enjoyed a TV re-run of a 1951 western starring Bob Ryan as a major in the horse cavalry, looking much the same as he appeared as one of our aspiring tackles in the photo of our freshman football squad in the 1931 Green Book. Sprawled on the ground out front in that photo was another aspiring tackle, Fred Roe. In mid-1943 in a New York bar I helped Fred celebrate his commissioning fresh out of OCS as a second lieutenant in the infantry. PBI the Brits called it—"poor, bloody infantry"; several months later Fred was KIA in Burma.

Sorry to report the loss of Lee Andrews on February 16 and of Dick Knight on July 3.
