1927

Roger Bury, our class president, is busy arranging for our 70th Reunion June 6-8,1997. We have all heard from David Orr, director of alumni relations, who has promised our College will treat us right. We will all stay close to the campus and be provided transportation wherever we go, even wheelchairs if needed. Wives, widows, and children are encouraged to come. Ruth Baker Mills has been named chairman for the women. Allise Wormser is boosting attendance as assistant editor of the Speakeasy.

The alumni magazine, in featuring women, has to include all of the wives and widows of 1927, especially Allise Wormser, MadelineFowler, Mrs. Joshua David, Ruth Baker Mills, Peg Funkhouser, and Lolly Bury, who have helped keep our class strong and active.

Rog suggests that we all write "Do You Remember" setting forth all of the memorable things that took place while we were in Hanover from "27" up, the flag rush, senior picnic barn burning, the many football victories, bonfires, hums, and winning the basketball championship in a playoff senior year.

Charlie Allen says he is hanging in there, but is pretty lonely since his wife of 67 years died a year ago. She had a stroke and was wheelchair-bound. They enjoyed reviewing their travel films, including one of our class reunions of October 11,1973.Perhaps he will bring it to the 70th to show Frank Strong as M.C.; Doan Arnold, the storyteller; and Steve Tracy and Rog Bury doing their stuff.

Tom Gillespie thinks the presidential candidates missed the boat by not advocating that anyone 90 years old would not have to pay any income tax. That would include all of our class—all 50! Ted Rose writes from Kalamazoo, Mich., that he is still active but has trouble with his eyesight. He recalls with pleasure his days at Dartmouth, rooming with Jim Murray in Russell Sage his freshman year; his days at the Phi Gam House with Bob Long, Steve Osborn, and others.

Jonathan Rintels and Dorothy love to travel. Last winter they spent seven days in Los Angeles with their son David, who wrote and produced Andersonville. Since then they have been to Israel and cruised the Mediterranean. They have a sign at their home saying, "Old Age is not for Sissies."

The winner of the Jonathan Rintels prize awarded annually by the dean for the best senior thesis was Lisa Gill. Jon established the prize in 1986.

Seth Resco, youngest member of the Olsons and one of the best golfers, died July 18. Wilfred E. Shaw died Nov. 25.
