A group of more athletic '54s gathered in Aspen in February for a ski week minireunion: Tom and Kate Tyler, Stearns and Pat Martin, John and Sally Heyn, Pete and Margie Ankeny, Art Rauch, Tony Kane and Jay Davis. The group enjoyed dinner at the Ankenys' home and an evening at Mead Metcalf s Crystal Palace.

As previously reported a group of less- athletic '54s gathered for the first annual '54 winter golf outing at the Plantation Inn in Crystal River, Fla. Attending were Dick and Audrey Lewis, Tom and Liz Kelsey, Don and Joie Keller, Bob and Patty Osmond,John and Jinny Pope, Pete and Lynda Schenck, Shelly and Elizabeth Woolf, Jim and Joan Tofias, Mort and Judy Galper,Harry and Sue Rockefeller, Don Berlin,Rick Hartman, Alec Gray and BillGarland. Three rounds of golf (the Kelseys and Berlin managed a fourth round on departure day). Each day started with a group lesson, followed by a golf round, cocktails in the presidential suite, a late dinner and early to bed. (We are getting older.) John Pope was awarded the Schenck Shaft as the best golfer (the shaft was all that was left of Pete's putter after the second round of golf). The second annual '54 golf outing will be held at the Plantation Inn next March. Let Dick Lewis know of your interest. Our well-organized mini-reunion chair, JohnGillespie has now retired from the Parent's Fund and has moved to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Before leaving Hanover he reminded us that the holiday luncheons will be in Boston at the Pillar House on December 13th and at the Yale Club on December 14th. Mark your calendars. Dick and Jane Page's daughter Catherine (an exchange student at Dartmouth in 1982) married Shannon Golden in San Francisco the weekend of the golf outing. John and Sandy Gillespie represented the class.
