1931

In his '32 Class Notes column in Dartmouth Medicine Art Ecker mentioned that he'd had no recent report from Henry Almond so, Henry, welcome will be some news from you, and perhaps any classmates in the neighborhood of Eatontown, N .J., (near Ft. Monmouth) might have some information on your doings.

On June 18 the Post Standard of Syracuse reported that Art, Syracuse's first neurosurgery practitioner, donated to the SUNY (Syracuse) Health Science Center's new library his 800-plus volumes dating from 1571 on the subject of neurology. He had collected the books during his WW II service in the U.K. with the U.S. Army's 52nd General Hospital. The paper also reported that SUNY on that day would unveil a portrait of Art during a reception in his honor.

Twenty-seven classmates returned the Reunion questionnaire. Two of those died before Reunion. Five noted the misspelling of "triumph" in one of the questions; 14 were married, 11 widowers, one single, and one non-committal. Two reported being a great-grandfather of six.

Ten was the greatest number of pills ingested daily by a classmate. Twenty-one believed their health good, two considered employing a shrink, and reported was a wide range of replacement parts—all mentionable.

Anonymous shall be the only classmate who admitted to being "flooded with currency." Nobody was "spent down," and all hoped that Medicare wouldn't go broke. Many interests also were wide-ranging. President Clinton led Bob Dole by nine votes to four. Lastly, more bad news than good was forecast.
