1954

October 1950—remember: October 13, '54 wins Tug of War; October 14, Freshman B Football vs. B.C., Jim Love blocks two extra points; October 21, The D reports, "Bleary Eyed Freshman were the happiest last nite when the bonfire went up in flames after a good many of them had been up until 3:30 a.m." At the Streamliner Diner: chops $.75, tenderloin $1.00, sirloin $.90.

Also remember: The Old Howard during Harvard weekend; potato fights in Commons (who lit the fire on the conveyor belt?); Hap and Hals; Rands; Wah-Hoo-Wash; Fletcher's; Walt & Ernie's Barber Shop; Tanzi's; Watching movies from Webster's balcony. What are we doing now?

Tom Sayles has been appointed by New Jersey Governor Whitman to the newly organized State Commission on High Education.

John Cunningham has opened in a new Off-Broadway show: The Naked. Truth. John plays Pete, who is about to be nominated to head the Republican Party's Presidential ticket but has been having an affair with Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month. (His wife's name is not Hillary.)

John Crowe, M.D., has been appointed chairman of the Department of Surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital in Stoughton, Mass. John is a member of the American College of Surgeons and a trustee of the Massachusetts Medical Society. He practices with Park Surgical Associates in Stoughton.

Seaver Peters was honored by the New Hampshire Chapter of the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame. Seaver received the organization's award for contribution to football at its May banquet.

Henry Grebe retired in 1990 as regional chairman of the board of Bank of New England. Hank was remarried in 1993 to his former secretary, Patricia Harrington, who was (is?) senior vice president of U.S. Trust in Woburn, Mass. They now live in Danvers. While in the banking business, Hank gave his time to many charitable organizations: he ran the local United Way campaign, served on the board of Atlanticare, and was treasurer for Christ Church in Hamilton and the Wenham Museum. He has put these experiences to work organizing Grebe Associates, assisting non-profit organizations in fundraising and financial management (I can suggest a great non-profit organization that can use his fundraising help).

Ruel Smith's son, Steve, has reported that Ruel is alive and well and now living at the Wellington Hall Care Center, 301 Union Avenue, Hackensack, NJ 07601. Ruel had a severe stroke in 1983 which left him disabled. Steve reports that Ruel is "totally alert and very interested in perspectives from the outside world." Those of us in the New York- New Jersey area can cheer up Ruel with a visit, which is welcomed.
