Speaking last month of 1930's authors, I neglected one of the class's most learned and polific, Win Stone, who authored a seven-page article, "Anato-my of a Theatrical Season for Convent Garden, 1958-59," which was published in Theatre Notebook, quarterly organ of Britain's Society for Theatre Research.
Most interesting is a Headnote by the editor: "This article marks 60 years of contribution to theatrical scholarship: Professor Stone's first article, 'David Garrick's Long Lost Alteration to Hamlet,' was published in 1934. The Editors congratulate him on his achievement."
Win has also spent "pleasant time" writing a history of Chevy Chase, Md., as remembered from his boyhood, and a history of "industrial activity" in Alton, N.H., where he summers. Modestly, he thought he should do these "while he can still think, do research, and punch a typewriter."
A thank-you note from Fred Scribner' son, Curtis, to Ted Wolf has this interesting comment: "You're all aware of how much the Big Green and his classmates meant to my father. Please know that he is wearing his green blazer and Dartmouth tie and will be with you in
spirit." A hostess at the Green Valley Country Club surprised me one day with "Mr. Marr, did you go to Dartmouth?" "Yes." "Do you know my uncle, Art Behal?" I certainly do, as a mini-reunion regular and member of the Bema Lunch Bunch. Art once had a sister and brother-in-law in Green Valley and occasionally visited there.
Footnoting Bob Keene's report on the May 1994 Class Officers Weekend, it's interesting to note that almost every class from 1924 to 1994 was represented by at least one officer. Ours had seven (even with Gene Magenau hors de combat), a number not equalled until you get to 1935, also Reunion next year. Multiplying this by my secret factor, I predict that we'll break the 65th Reunion attendance record. Meantime y'all pitch in and give Gene and Ed Weinstein a record in reunion giving. „
