Just two months to go. It is still not too late to get your reservation in for our 40th Reunion June IS to 18.John Aimstrong and his committee have been working hard all winter, putting together a schedule which promises to hold events that will be of interest to the varied and many interests for us 'sBs. There will be good food, fellowship, and fun for all. Get your reservation into John today.

The word from California is that DanVarty will be coming across the continent to join in our reunion festivities. In an e-mail message, Dan reminisced about meeting me 44 years ago at a pre-freshman gathering there in California. Dan's gray matter is clearly working better than mine. He sees Skip Hoyt from time to time. The big news is that the Vartys became grandparents this winter for the first time. A baby boy was born to their oldest daughter. Dan went on to say, "My daughter winked at me in the hospital just after he was born and said, 'I just made you an old man, gramps. For Dan those were mighty sweet words. Assuming continued good health, he will continue for three more years teaching some American government classes at West Valley Community College in Los Altos.

From Mystic, Conn., Alan Greener wrote to say that he and Margot hope to be in Hanover for our 40th as well. Alan went on to say, "Unlike most of my classmates, I decided to really get to work about a year ago when I founded a new surgical specialties distribution company, Stonington Medical Devices Inc., in a rather bizarre health-care environment. We are currently bucking the trend of low-cost, truck-load, just-in-time products with high-cost, slow delivery, expensive products."

His love for boating also finus Alan seiving his second and final year as commodore of the Mason's Island Yacht Club. But his most enjoy able activity continues to be singing. His baritone voice can be heard whenever the 200-plus singers of the Westerly Chorus perform.

I had not realized that Dale Sarles was a War Memorial Scholar. This scholarship, including fall tuition, board, and room, was established to make it possible for the sons of Dartmouth men killed in World War II to attend the College if they met the criteria for admission. Dale is in the process of finishing up a research project on 20 of the 46 sons who matriculated. He wants to determine how many graduated and then write a short article for the Alumni Magazine about this unique scholarship. If you have any information, contact Dale at 517 East Fifth St., Juneau, AK 99801-1013.
