1947

As this was being written, there was received a summary of the report of the Committee on the Student Life Initiative. Further details should lead to comments from alumni of all ages, students and faculty.

By agreement of those in attendance at our mini-reunion in October, the fall 2000 event will be held on the weekend of Dartmouth night and the Harvard game, October 28. At the same meeting, the group voted unanimously to underwrite repairs to the Senior Fence.

Travel is the byword for a number of our classmates. Hugh and Joan Chapin toured Tunisia, Malta and Sicily in the fall. A 1 and Merry Hall broke with all tradition by attending a family reunion over Christmas on Sanibel Island, Fla. Jay Larmon is skiing in Vermont and New Hampshire this winter, some of it with the 70-plus Ski Club. Andy and Joan McCulloch plan to head for Hawaii for a month in early February. JoeEisaman spent Christmas with his family in Aspen and enjoyed the skiing. Gay and BobHuffman and family toured France for several weeks last summer. In the fall, after a stop in Dayton, they visited friends in all six New England states. Their plans for New Year's Eve included a black-tie dinner in California with midnight to be celebrated on New York time. Sheila and Don Evans celebrated their 45th anniversary in May with a family reunion on Daufuskie Island off Hilton Head, N.C. John and Helen Trethaway traveled to Austria last winter and then in August joined friends on their boat to sail and motor their way through Germany and into the Netherlands.

Closer to home, Abbie and Bob Kirsch have opened a second riverfront banquet facility on the Hudson River at Chelsea Piers in N.Y.C. called The Lighthouse. We wish them well and with the record of Pier Sixty, success is assured. Bob mentions having spent a couple of days in Las Vegas with Al and John Bildner when Al's luck was all good and Bob's the opposite. Frank and Ursula Weber are trying to consolidate furniture from two homes into but one in Connecticut following the sale of their property in Texas. Frank is preoccupied with his golf game when not working on fund-raising for the class, for the Marine Corps or for the Rotary Club. In his spare time he manages to drive several patients to doctors' appointments.

The sympathy of the class is extended to the family of Oliver Martin, who passed away in July.
