Doug Brew still runs. In the summer he does six miles or so a couple of times a week. On other days he might use his original-equipment knees to bicycle a few miles. Doug chairs the department of geology at Fort Lewis College in Durango Colo. This fall he ran 11 miles (at 9,500 feet) in the college's annual aspen-watching Run for the Colors. Doug's daughter Aileen and her husband, who is with the National Outdoor Leadership School, prefer exercising at really high altitudes; when they can, they like to rock and ice climb at 7,000 and 8,000 meters in the Himalayas.

Al Dessoff, who managed the baseball team, writes, "What I learned about baseball in two short spring seasons in Hanover 40 years ago continues to make it fun to be a fan." He remembers Ron Judson striking out the side in the ninth inning against the Marines at Quantico, locking up a springtrip win. Other memories: practicing on the dirt floor in the old gym and eating well at some of coach Tony Lupien's favorite places.

Cal Perry, our optometrist in Andover, Mass., doesn't actually play soccer any more, but he has Refereed as many as 100 games a year. He remembers playing on outstanding Dartmouth teams before there was an Ivy League to maintain formal records of championships. And he recalls coach Tommy Dent with special fondness.

Lee Hirschey, swim-team manager, recalls that our classmates on the team were all "pretty straight." The wild ones were in other classes. Lee sails a lot nowadays, piloting an Oyster 47 (a 20-ton British-built sloop) around the Caribbean and up and down the East Coast when not at home beside Lake Ontario in Carthage, N.Y.

Bob Woolman, another Lakesider, is in Rochester. He was commodore of the sailing club at Dartmouth, sailed Lightnings competitively at Noroton Yacht Club in Connecticut for a while, and nowadays cruises on Lake Ontario when he's not doing sales and marketing for Kodak. He sees Lan Cadyo now and then, crosses paths with Staff Krause once in a while, and hasn't talked with Mike Waldbillig for several years.

Back to baseball. Russ Brignano remembers a classic game. Dick Van Riper had held a championship-caliber Yale team scoreless into the ninth, at Yale, only to have Dartmouth lose 1-0 on a close-call score from third on what would have been the third out. Russ has retired from teaching English in the Penn State system. The library at his campus has named a collection of African-American autobiographies, one of his research specialties, for him, complete with bookplates and a plaque and ceremonies.

Fred Shanaman has been as far as Durban, South Africa, and Bozeman, Mont. (from Tacoma, Wash.), to throw his weight. He won the 56-pound and placed third in the 25-pound event at the Indoor Masters Championships in Boston last year. Competing keeps him young, but he's had to install a few spare parts.
