1943

Nostalgia seems to continue to play well with our age group. Bob Krumm thoughtfully sent me some old copies of The Dartmouth. The issues are 1940 Winter Carnival, fall football game against Columbia, and 1941 Pearl Harbor Day. Glancing through them I thought it might be fun to test our collective memory with a game of Trivial Pursuit. Here come the questions: 1) Who was TheDartmouth editor-in-chief our freshman year? 2) Who was the Carnival Queen? 3) Whose date was she? 4) Lou Little, Columbia's football coach, talked about formalizing the Ivy League the October 1940 weekend of the Dartmouth/Columbia game. What two teams did he include that did not join the Ivy League? 5) How many '43 s were in the starting lineup of this game? 6) Who were they? 7) Who won the game? 8) What was the score? 9) Who were the Japanese diplomats who carried on negotiations with Roosevelt and Hull prior to Pearl Harbor? 10) Who was the DBS station director at that time? Answers below.

Talked to Jim Stewart by phone recently. He remains very active engaging in both winter and summer skiing (on different surfaces). He and wife Natalie recently celebrated 55 years together with full clan in attendance at their Maine summer retreat. Jim reported seeing Van Lloyd and Tony Rudd in their summer travels. At this past September's Leadership Weekend in Hanover I met the new DAM editor. Seems personable but awfully young, to which my children respond: "Come on, Dad!"

Bud Hall and wife DJ were on scene, also your hard-working head agent BudKast and Angela, as well as Howie Leavitt (all smiles—I'll let him report the reason why), Ann and John Keefe, Joan and BobBarnum, and Phil Harmon just back from a memorable Alaskan trip.

Answers: 1) Braden 2) Marjorie Carlin 3) Stu May '41 4) Army and Navy 5) four—Gerber, Dampier, Kast, and Wolfe 7) Columbia 8) 20-8 9) Sauro Kurusu and Kichisaburo Nomura 10) W.J. Mitchel '42

One death to report: George Stratton last May. Our condolences to his family.

Stay well!
