1950

Mark your calendar now for this fall's mini reunion of the class. It's to be on the weekend of October 3-5. Lest you've forgotten, Hanover in the fall is especially lovely. Even if the same may not be true of us classmates, it's fun to get together. I think the football game is with Penn. Here are the first of a couple of short bios of classmates, selected at random from our 50th reunion book. George Singer remembers June 1950 as a red-letter month. He graduated from the College and married his wife, Gloria, five days later. Their first of several moves was to Philadelphia, where he studied at the Wharton School. With M.B.A. in hand they went to N.Y.C. and then onto Coral Gables, Florida. Once there,Al Seaber '29, office manager of Goodbody and Co., hired George to mark ticker prices on a chalkboard. That was the beginning of a long career in the stock brokerage field. He was sent back to New York for further training and they spent the years up to 1971 living in the suburbs with their three children. A family of enthusiastic skiers, they decided to move to Burlington, Vermont, where George joined W.E. Hutton as branch manager. In 1982 he and Gloria became co-proprietors of the Ashley Book Co., specializing in private press books. In 1983 he retired from the stock brokerage business to concentrate on the book enterprise and to spend more time with his and Gloria's eight grandchildren. Jim Gregg and his wife, Caro, live in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and spend their winters in Scottsdale, Arizona. Following graduation Jim spent three years teaching and coaching hockey at Vermont Academy. He moved to Chicago to join U.S. Gypsum and it was there that he met Caro. During the 34 years they lived in Chicago they raised three youngsters, one of whom jim, was Dartmouth '83. Deciding corporate life was not where he wanted to be, Jim made the decision to move into life insurance sales. In retirement they returned to Jim's ancestral home in Plymouth, where he spends countless hours building stone walls, clearing brush, splitting cordwood and gardening. He loves every minute of it. In the 50th reunion book Jim writes: "Being both the son and the father of Dartmouth men makes the College even more special."

That's it for now. Happy summer to all.
