1941

Dr. Dick Olmstead is keeping busy out in Portland, Ore. He takes history courses at Portland State, edits the medical journal at the University of Oregon, where he was head of the pediatrics department, and still has time to play tennis with his wife. Bobbie was the state champion in mixed doubles in the 70 and 75 age group. (I've put in a bid to team up with her at our 60th Reunion in '01. We'll challenge Dickie and Monk Larson, Barb and Ray Seabury, and Betty and Ed McMillan.) Dick was interested in other '41s in his area, so I sent him the addresses of Dr. Lan Brown, Stacy Hill, and Bob Sencer, Ph.D., in Oregon, plus the addresses of Washington residents Bruce Brown, John Hodel, and Charles Smith. Did I miss anyone?

On the opposite coast John Ahlgren is holding forth in Bronxville N.Y. He and Wynne will be celebrating their 35th anniversary with a three-week trip to Istanbul, the Greek Islands, Venice, Paris, and finishing with a flight home on the Concorde. They take off at noon and land in NYC at 10 a.m., after 3 3/4 hours in the air. John sees fellow New Yorker Felix Lilienthal for lunch on a regular basis. He reports Felix looks well and regularly walks 18 holes of golf.

Another easterner is Terry "Red" Higgins, living in Alexandria, Va., and spending many happy days at his 60-acre farm in Flint Hill, Va. He retired from a 40-year career in marketing and management, where he had many contacts with Defense Department and congressional offices. Terry has kept in touch with the officers and men who served under him in WWII when his PC vessel engaged in anti submarine warfare in the Med. He's attended eight reunions of the ship's company.

Earl "Dutch" Cotton is moving in Bedford, N.H. two whole blocks. He and Caryl are giving up their house of 35 years and moving up the road to a more manageable condo. Dutch has had some health problems, but they're under control. He has given up playing golf, but he's an inveterate watcher of the tournaments on TV.

Good news from Maine, where Lucy and Steve Winship were recharging their batteries. Steve, our bequest chairman, was happy to report that four classmates had recently committed themselves to annuities at Dartmouth totaling $410,000. These investments pay an annual income of almost 8 percent, part of which is tax deductible. Upon the death of the investor and then the designated inheritor. the principal goes to the College. Anyone interested in more info can call Steve at (603) 224-0518 or write him at 634 Jewett Road, Hopkinton, NH 03229. Stay well, and enjoy.
