1934

Wot much to write about as news is skimpy with less than 50 of the class of '34 still alive. I did receive a nice letter from StanSmoyer, who, with Marge, is enjoying his winter days in sunny Florida and looking forward to a Dartmouth-organized trip to Holland and Belgium at the end of April. He is also looking forward to our mini-reunion in the early fall, but the dedication of the new soccer facility probably won't be until 2008.

And speaking of our next mini-reunion, those of you who expect to attend should phone or drop Gerry Dayaline. Her news address—Gerry Day, 1420 Sheridan Road, Apt. 4A, Wilmette, IL 60091; (847) 251-1427. Let's see if we can't beat last year's attendance.

This year's winter carnival at Lake Placid honored Jack Shea, the hero of the 1932 Olympics who won the 500- and 1,500-meter speedskating events. He marked the beginning of the legacy of an Olympic family—the Sheas of Lake Placid. Jack's son Jim competed as a Nordic skier at the 1964 Winter Olympics and his grandson Jim Jr. slid to a skeleton gold medal at the Salt Lake City Olympics.

It is with sadness that I report the death of my beloved wife, Nina, after 70 years of a happy married life. She was a wonderful girl. Also with sadness we report the death of our classmate John Stone Randall and extend our sympathy to his family.
