1932

We're better now with you recalling the past than with me searching fruitlessly for recent newsworthy adventures. So lets revisit the ever-popular "favorite places." Would you believe that our mild-mannered, Mr.-Nice-Guy, newsletter scribe has a sadistic side? Bob Ackerber's spot was the Spaulding Pool, lettering in water polo with Jim Moore and Whip Walser. Poke 'em, choke em, rah rah rah; whack em, drown em, sis boom bah. His intellectual side took him to Baker Library's second floor reading room to digest War and peace.Third choice was the Summit House on Mount Washington on our senior trip. John Zimmerman conjures up cooking spare ribs and sauerkraut for ardent skiers at a DOC cabin. Morrie Hubbard and Nate Pearson cited Bermuda and the Hillsboro Club at Pompano Beach, Florida, respectively. Nothing worth remembering in Hanover or they misunderstood the question. Joe Roberts recalled breaking away with Butch Modarelli and sometimes Ben Read from the Medical School grind to explore the New Hampshire countryside with such metropolises as Etna, Hanover Center and Lyme Center in Joe's beaten up 1928 Chevy. Also accompanying an obstetrician for a delivery in Pompanoosuc, a hamlet north of Norwich.

Hats off to Hank Kingdon of St. Simon Island, Georgia, who was honored on October 11 by the Ivy League of the Golden Isles, which he founded 20 years ago; now 75 members and Hank the oldest.

Our sympathy to the family of Fritz Browning, who died September 18.
