1936

Isn't living wonderful now! We made it through the decade and a half of the chaotic sixties, when for us challenges were at their peak. For us now it is just going along; few crises, simple (if any) deadlines, not much responsibility for running things. The country is calming down. Hurrah! So it goes for eight of us chronicled here (ten if I'm included). Probably for each of us Ross Martindale, Yarmouth, .Maine, spends many months, spring, summer, and autumn, at his cottage on Chebeague Island, Maine, sees Hilly and Bill Niss, also Dede Foster, near neigh- bors in the Portland, Maine, area. Ross's son sold his landscape business, now works for the owner, adequate rains made it a good year maintaining one hundred lawns. Ross made a brief California trip for a family gathering and saw his 95 -year-old brother. Dave Haraway, of Dartmouth fundraising, visits often. Ross keeps well working out three times a week and walking. Walt Mosenthal, Orleans, Mass., plays ten- nis and squash, sings in church choir. He retired in '83, keeps busy store clerking (fine retirement job), formerly was athletic director of Cleveland Racquet Club, then 26 years with YAICA He and Marion have three children, four grandchildren. Geraldine Blades (Bob), Hornel, N.Y., fills us in that daughter, Elizabeth, is a doctor of voice pedagogy and faculty 7 member of Heidelberg College in Ohio. Barney-is married to an M.D., works with horses, currendy preparing for the Irish Marathon. Son, Bob, is president of Blades Construction Cos., heavy construction. "Having brought up my children," she says, "I'm having fun with grandchildren." Henry Dearborn, Washington, D.C., almost on his 85 th birthday, finally made it on a world- wide trip west, first to Australia, mostly at Perth for three weeks with his daughter, her husband, and grandchildren, then to France and the French Alps, frequently wore his Dartmouth cap. Blake Hughes (Bern*), Charleston, S.C., went with family (son, daughter, grandchildren, two to 18) to France. They visited the wine country, saw the small towns and chateaux! Then to Paris at the time of the World Cup. Living on Cape Cod, wintering in Florida, Jackie and Paul Guibord have a peaceful life, visit Paul's daughters in Northern Virginia and Florida. Ed Drechsel, Berkeley, Calif., writes that Illona and he visited their daughter in Vancouver and then stopped in Seattle to visit a longterm Hungarian friend, were able to visit Shirley and Dave Fox at their Lake Washington home. Dave had a one-man show at New York's A luseum of A lodem Art in 1944. In Seattle they visited the Thomas Aloran Show of western paintings. Moran's Grand Canyon ofYosemite was purchased by Congress in 1872, the irst landscape to hang in the capitol in Washington. Aloran was part of the first expedition to visit the Yellowstone. So, On the Way Rejoicing, Happily We Go. Tally Ho!
