As Dartmouth's VP of alumni relations (among the more demanding occupations on the planet!), Stan Colla every once in while gets to travel—and encounters far-flung classmates. For instance, while leading an Alumni College trip to Cuba, Stan contacted Jim Casin, head of the Unit- ed States Interest Section in Havana and a career diplomat. Jim invited the group to his home for refreshments and a thorough briefing on current conditions in Cuba—resplendent in Dartmouth jacket, tie and hat, of course.

And later, at an alumni reception with President Wright at Dartmouth House in England, home of the generous earl, Stan enjoyed an impromptu reunion with his freshman roommate, David Hightower, an international businessman.

It deals with the fates of half- and quarter-Jewish German citizens under Hitler. Papers in the United States and Germany are running favorable reviews.

Another class author is Geof Greenleaf, whose new book, My DogAte My Retirement Plan, may resonate with many of us now grappling with Roth IRAs for children and paying more attention to the words "trust funds."

It is with deep sadness that I note the passing in late january of Gary Bryson. We were teammates on the freshman baseball team. One game, due to my coaching mistake at third base, Gary was thrown out at home by about 30 feet for the third out of an inning. I was embarrassed and felt terrible. Gary only smiled and laughed it off. I'll never forget his calm, warm spirit or him. An obituary appears in this issue.
