1936

Tony Muello, Arlington, Mass., has his health problems like most of us. But"one can bask in the reflected glow of one's children's deeds; our daughter Wendy Muello '78, was appointed to the N.H. Board of Medicine's medical review subcommittee.

General John Bouker, Naples, Fla., is in a continuing-care community with Jane, wife of 60 years. Both play golf regularly. Harold Rider '25 and Dr. Mike Petti '37 are housemates. Ex-Surgeon General Dr. Everett Koop '37 "comes down a couple of times a year to visit." John and Jane fly to Portland, Maine, to visit children. John uses e-mail; Jane prefers to "hear their voices."

After Russ Capelle's "Oh My Lord" greeting on the phone, from Northfield, Vt., I mentioned talking to Bill Crangle in Shelburne. He said Dr. Ed Hyde and Tommy (Laforrest) Thompson are there, and Dr. Scott Pedley is in Roxbury. Russ's March 23 card said, "I visited Bill, Ed, and Tommy at their Robin Rest Home." Binding our class ties! Russ has; been doing Meals on Wheels for 17 years.

Joe Millimet, Manchester,N.H., still goes to the law office every day. I remember Joe like a knight of old with visor down and lance out charging the N.H. Republicans. A daughter lives nearby; those in New York and Kansas will be visiting soon. Joe has given up Florida winters. Back in 1942 Joe and Chuck Stern, Dartmouth's first war casualty at Pearl Harbor, took their physicals together: "He passed; I flunked."

Dick Blister, Lancaster, Pa., has been a compulsive fiction writer most of his life. After some 400 pulp novelettes and short stories, in 1981 he shifted to cartoons, learning to draw at the same time. On a trip to Florida, Bill Niss had an emergency quadruple bypass. As of mid- April he was recovering well.

Remember the needy: The students who without the Alumni Fund would not be able to attend Dartmouth. Morrie Stein and Bill Niss will bless us all!
