Thanks to Bill Mansfield, our first post-graduation secretary (and first writer of this column) for the above and further quotes from the alumni magazine.

We need volunteers. We are trying to establish a web page for the class of '54. Since the "dummy" books do not cover this, your secretary needs help from a computer knowledgeable classmate. A web page will give us another way of communicating.

By way of e-mail Bill Grover reported on his solar eclipse cruise on the Black Sea aboard the Stella Solaris. He recommends further cruises.

Norm Veasey is now halfway through his 12-year term as chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court. Earlier this year Justice Veasey was interviewed by the Delaware State News and Daily Whale as to his vision for the twenty-first century. He foresees technology developing in the new millennium which will see better resolution of many disputes and a greater use of mediation and arbitration to reduce the court's case load.

Bruce La Follette in an issue of the Dartmouth Medical School Alumni News and Notes wrote about his recent visit to Vietnam where he served in 1970 as surgeon and medical battalion commander of the 25th Infantry Division. The trip was an "educational event" with weeklong visits to Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City, including areas where the 25 th Infantry conducted its war.

Received a note from Cynthia Woolf Davis, Shelly Woolfs daughter, enclosing a great picture of Benjamin Davis (grandson of Shelly) and Alex Margolis (grandson of Mugsy Margolis). The boys were appropriately dressed in their Dartmouth sweatshirts. They both live in Trumbull, Conn., and became best friends at a summer day camp. They were never introduced by family. As you are aware, Shelly and Mugsy were Dartmouth roommates. The next generation is what it is all about!
