1934

As an enthusiast of Dartmouth football, which I guess you must know by now, I always look for classmates in the stands, though we're getting fewer and fewer. And these retirement days, the seats of our Hanover contingent are mostly on the other side of the field, in the sun. Bill Scherman told me that he did see Bob Webb and Chick Chickering there, at the Princeton game. That 10-10 score was an outcome that nobody thought would happen.

We did not see any '34s at the Penn game, but at our mini-reunion, Stan andBarbara Smoyer told us they were there. They must have been sitting far away, otherwise they would have heard a familiar raucous voice cheering for the Green. No classmates at the Ford ham game, but many at Cornell, due to our good mini-reunion attendance. During the rainy, dull Lafayette encounter, we ran into DickGruen at half-time. At home games, our Hanover '34s are usually in the east stands with the other townies. Shorty Thomas sat near us at Yale, the only '34 we saw. He looked great, still teaching in Connecticut. No classmates at the Columbia game—my better half suggested that maybe they were avoiding me. Previous commitments kept us from seeing the Colgate and Harvard games, but we heard that Bob Offenbach,Mary and Bob Engelman, and Gerry and Bill Scherman were survivors in the rain at Cambridge, with their son Dan '83 and grandson William.

George and Gisele Collins have returned to their winter home in Florida and have an elderhostel trip planned for the holidays, to where it all started for them, Vera Cruz, Mexico. They met there in 1958, when George was on a consulting assignment for Mexican Airlines, then a subsidiary of Pan-American. We're once again in need of news. Unless you write, we may not be able to keep this job, and frankly, we can't afford to lose the income. So, let's hear from you.
