1931

Bob Baumrucker wrote '"The Farm'(DAM Oct. 1996 Class Notes) consists of a thousand inherited acres, and while there is a manager, a farmer, and a cattle man, our main interest is a safe haven for deer, quail, pheasants, and wild turkeys and a change of pace from our life in San Francisco, once we make it through the Denver airport. The crops are wheat and milo. There is about a nickel's worth of wheat in a $2 loaf of bread. Hillary can only spare a penny more per loaf, which is, in effect, our insurance against hail, early freezes, late rain, no rain, too much rain, and all the other familiar hazards a farmer lives with daily. Want to buy a farm?"

With that answer to my October Class Notes question, Bob asked me to have understood that he is not a working farmer, that the farm is only an occasional destination point, and that he has resided in San Francisco since 1950. He also asked if a list of living classmates could be provided, and I shall provide same in a future column and/or send it to the newsletter.

Welcome was a note from Jean Dilley, whom I'd told of the projected demolition of Palmer Stadium (the Dilleys lived in Princeton many years) where I, in my Bolivian ruana, hope to meet SpenceMiller in his coonskin under the scoreboard after the game November 23. Also welcome was a note from John Russell '61, Forsha's son.
