Reunion update: Rey Moulton reported in mid-March that 75 classmates were definite "yeses" for our 35th, June 12-15, and another 75 were "maybes." While there's still time, you should know that these numbers fall well short of our recordsetting 30th Reunion attendance of 139 classmates and the record for 35th reunions, set by the class of 1953, of 149 alumni and total attendance Of 274, including wives and guests. Records aren't what reunions are all about, of course. Fun and fellowship are, and we'll have plenty of it. In addition to events previously announced, there's a '59 vs. '60 crew race scheduled as entertainment at our class picnic on the 13th.

Jackson Taylor wrote in to Dudley Smith that he's taken up skiing again after 20 years and tried out his skill last winter in the Alps. Jack is a professor of history at Ole Miss, where he's been teaching for 27 years, ever since getting his Ph.D. at NYU a few years out of Dartmouth. His field is 19th and early 20th-century Russia, and he's just published an article on autocrat Pyotr Stolypin.

Another prof, Cliff Russell, is doing a study at Vanderbilt on the connections, if any, between ecological studies carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency and the values that ordinary citizens have about the environment. Cliff says this study will help the EPA perform the cost-benefit analyses of environmental regulation currently being demanded by the Republican Congress.

Rory Mullett is branching out in a new direction by working on an M. A. in conflict-resolution at Antioch University while continuing with his regular work at the management-consulting firm ORC Inc. in New York. Rory and Heather live in Morristown, N.J., but have bought land for an eventual retirement home in Durango Colo.

As usual, Hap Dunning, Tom Beadel,Dick Foley, Urban Hirschey and their families were planning their skiing mini-reunion on March 17 in Tahoe

Gene Kohn had a call recently from Dr. Ray Pong, a specialist in cancers of the urinary tract, prostate, and liver in Southern California. Ray got a Ph.D. in chemistry at MIT, but after trying academic life went to med school at Case Western Reserve, then trained in surgery at Massachusetts General before moving to California.

One of our long-distance Reuners will be Ed Henriquez, who lives in Panama and hasn't been back to Hanover since his daughter graduated in 1986. Ed writes that Panama is booming with construction and looking forward to the Canal takeover in 2000.

If Ed can make it back in June, so can you.
