1940

To add to his writings about the 10th Armored Division, Les Nichols has published Confessions of a Name Dropper. It's an insider's account of some of the most significant men and moments of American history. Order from the Turner Publishing Cos., P.O. Box 3101, Paducah, KY 42002-3101.

Lew Chipman and wife Janet are looking forward to our reunion. However, she depends on a wheelchair. I did at our 50th, and now have oxygen 24 hours a day. Sure hope we will see both of you. Lew has been class correspondent for the class of 1941 of the Dartmouth Medical School. In a recent column, he reports on Doc Darnley. Doc reminded Lew of the happy days of student years when the firstand second-year medical students played one another in the yearly classic touch football game. It's a happy, though tiny, deposit in the old memory bank.

Since I haven't heard more from current classmates, here's some stories that we couldn't fit into their obits. Bob Lake on his information sheet for our 25th reunion answered the question "Lived in any screwy places?" with Marseilles and Paris, France.

George Mills, after four years in the service, lived with the Navajo tribe in Rimrock, Ariz., studying their culture, drawing and dry painting. He retired from a career in teaching in 1977 and moved to Martha's Vineyard to write and published several books of poetry.

Henry Haserot had a busy career. In 1960 he became president of Haserot Cos. wholesale food distributor. Pineapple plantations and cannery in Hawaii, cherry orchard and cannery in Michigan, sauerkraut packing in Clyde, Ohio, and blended Hawaiian and Colombian coffee in Cleveland, Ohio. Henry spent winters on Maui and summers in the Cleveland area.

Scotty Rogers remembers our 40th reunion, when Ann Porter Berger's steady tennis game enabled her to carry four different men through all of her matches. In 1976 Scotty stopped sending items for DAM because there were so few who wrote (hasn't changed) and he didn't want too much visibility. Please write.

See you in Hanover June 12-14, 2000. If you like a party, don't miss this one!
