1930

Remember Max Horwitt, who graduated from Dartmouth and earned his doctorate, and then, finally, with help from his sister, acquired a high-school diploma? Max doesn't like to write, so he waited 85 years before writingMaxK. Horivitt: His Life and Science. Then he crammed into 142 pages his life story and a report on one of the world's longest scientific experiments. One incentive for his autobiography was to pull together all 25 years of the Elgin Projects, the longest controlled metabolic study in medical history, one result of which was the development of the recommended dietaiy allowances with which we're so familiar today. Max sent a copy to the Dartmouth Library, since it covers his "Dartmouth experience."

A note from Lari Widmayer, responding to my question at the mini-reunion, says she's not repeating her winter in Arizona this year. Among other things, she visited "big sister" in Plymouth, Mass., and had a successful cataract operation. The other eye will be done in the spring.

As far as I can figure out from addresses and maps, 1930 suffered no casualties in Southern California's October and November fires. The closest, apparently, was GeneMagenau, who missed the firestorm by 12 miles.

Lacking more direct news from you guys and gals, I'm grateful for some items pilfered from DMS's Dartmouth Medicine: AdieRaab has been doing well despite "numerous surgical and medical tribulations," including aortic surgery. Adie's offspring and in-laws, including a sprinkling of M.D'.s, are scattered from Thetford, Vt., and Lyme, N.H., to San Francisco. With some physical limitations, Adie and Edith now are limiting their travel to Puerto Rico in February every year.

Dave and Harriet Latham, before Dave's death, disposed of acres of property they lived on in Hillsboro, N.H. Harriet now lives in an assisted-living complex at 318 Dunstable Road, Nashua, NH 03062.

Jim Cullyford's widow, Alice, unaccountably missing from the last two ARO computer printouts, still lives at 2020 South Monroe Street, Denver, CO 80210-3773. An updated phone number is (303) 758-1930 (yes, 1930!).

Edwin H. "Ned" Grant, a Dartmouth skier in the 1920s and a skiing pioneer in his native Colorado, was inducted posthumously into the Colorado Ski Hall of Fame. Ned died in 1968.
