1928

They can't be called the naughty 90s, we're a little old for that, or the nifty 90s. What's so swell about I them? No-nonsense 90s? Any suggestions? All that's sure, as most of us have found as we approach, or have passed, that milestone, is that it is inclined to slow you down. If any of you are doing anything much you are certainly being secretive about it. Art Nightingale for instance, who retired to Florida 30 years ago and used to play a lot of golf, cheerfully admits his activities are pretty much limited to the bridge table. A similar response was received from Rufus Munsell, a former professor of agronomy. His only soil-management activity now is confined to puttering in his garden. Munny Raymond, who used to be in the livestock-feeding business, now plays bridge with his former farmer friends.

Charlie Proctor, our ski champ, and wife, Mary, are moving into a retirement home. Charlie isn't too well but Mary sounds great. It seems well worthy of note, with regret, that one of the big contributors to the alumni fund, MargeryRockwell died April 4, 1995. The widow of Dick Rockwell, who died some years ago, contributed $10,000last year and similar substantial amounts in previous years. This recognition of her husband's love for Dartmouth seems remarkable.

I regret to report the death of WayneVan Orman on April 17, 1995, of complications arising from a stroke.
