my travels to other parts of the country."<br />
If you are traveling, we or your regional<br />
vice presidents can supply you with the addresses<br />
of classmates in the areas you will<br />
touch. Let us all promote a closer relationship.<br />
George C. Moore, RD 1, Geneva, wrote<br />
that he is living on a farm there, after retiring<br />
from the USDA Soil Conservation<br />
Service almost two years ago. Son Richard<br />
'67 is co-captain of the wrestling team.<br />
David Greenberg wrote that he and his<br />
wife Janice were just taking off to visit<br />
their daughter Peggy '64, son-in-law Stan<br />
Chodorow '64, and grandson Adam. Peggy<br />
and Stan are working at the U of Tubringen.<br />
The Greenbergs will visit Paris, Rome<br />
—all the works, and as Dave says: "Nice<br />
life!" We agree. Home is 66 Neptune Ave.,<br />
Woodmere.<br />
James G. Dyett, 1 Penhurst Park, Buffalo,<br />
wrote some time ago that his only<br />
Buffalo classmate was his neighbor Jim<br />
Burke. We sent him a list of 14 other classmates<br />
with Buffalo addresses. There are<br />
more in the surrounding area. Jim and<br />
Jim serve together on the board of trustees<br />
of the Black Rock Manufacturers Assn. Jim<br />
Dyett is president and chairman of the<br />
board of Hard Mfg. Co., manufacturers of<br />
hospital beds and other hospital metal furniture.<br />
Dr. Robert A. Newburger, 77 Greenacres<br />
Ave., Scarsdale, is assistant clinical<br />
professor of medicine at Albert Einstein<br />
College of Medicine and also in private<br />
practice. Son Peter is a freshman at Haverford<br />
and daughter Mary is now a graduate<br />
student in biology at Harvard. Bob says<br />
that his hobby is sailing. We suggest that<br />
Bob Newburger meet Bob Steiglity. The<br />
latter has quite a reputation as a sailor on<br />
Long Island Sound.<br />
Bill Vauneman, an almost life-long<br />
friend, keeps us up-to-date. Last week he<br />
sent us a clipping from some paper announcing<br />
the passing of S. Lewis Elmer, 89,<br />
father of Lew Elmer Jr., a classmate and<br />
our roommate. Mr. Elmer was a noted organist<br />
and was president of the American<br />
Guild of Organists from 1943 to 1958. We<br />
are sure that all classmates join us in our<br />
expression of sorrow.<br />

By this time, you all must have received<br />
the letter about our class Reunion next<br />
year! What fun it was getting together to<br />
start the plans; we met in Marian Glaeser's<br />
office. Elinor Ernst Whittier keeps busy with<br />
her family and substitute teaching, while<br />
Betty Klock Bierds has tales to tell as a<br />
grandmother. My family is spread from<br />
Virginia—(my married daughter, Susan<br />
Hunt Roose, who is a programmer with<br />
the Department of Commerce and is working<br />
on her master's degree at American U)<br />
—to Iowa (our youngest, Betsey, is a freshman<br />
at William Penn College), while the<br />
Army seems to have plans for our son,<br />
Bruce, of Fairleigh Dickinson U.<br />
Holiday notes brought me news that<br />
Marie Calhoim Post's husband, John, had<br />
been seriously ill but was expected to get<br />
back to work soon. Their son, Joe, is now<br />
a 1st Lieutenant; daughter Candy is married;<br />
the two younger children are in school<br />
still. Mona Saunders Bond says her biggest<br />
news of the year is the first grandchild, "a<br />
dear little girl!" Since their last child is in<br />
college they find themselves able to take<br />
some little trips. Katharine Merritt Bell<br />
Academic Delegates<br />
• J. Boone Wilson '29, LLB '31 of Burlington,<br />
Vt., was the academic delegate<br />
at the inauguration of Lyman S. Rowell<br />
as president of the U of Vermont on<br />
April 15. On April 18, Clinton W. Wixom<br />
'22 of Columbia, Mo., represented<br />
the university at the inauguration of<br />
John Carrier Weaver as president of the<br />
U of Missouri.<br />

College on May 27, academic delegate<br />
will be Lewis R. Hart '16 of Sebastopol,<br />
Calif.<br />
wrote that she and her sister had been on<br />
campus last summer, but she found herself<br />
lost on the Hill. Daughter Susan is back in<br />
college since her husband is in Viet Nam.<br />
Son Tom returned to college after working<br />
for the summer in Utah. Katharine reports<br />
that their grandchildren are all healthy and<br />
lively, and that she had had a visit last<br />
year from "Cis" Neil Fisher which she said<br />
was great!<br />
From her New York apartment near the<br />
United Nations, Adele Langston Rogers<br />
sent me what news she had heard recently.<br />
She had a letter from Helen Bυrritt Latif,<br />
telling of the famine conditions in India<br />
due to crop failure, and her hopes for<br />
Indira Gandhi in the elections. Helen Belding<br />
Smith's husband, Henry P. ffl, LLB '36,<br />
was re-elected to Congress last fall. Helen<br />
had entertained the wives of some of the<br />
<strong>Cornell</strong> Congressmen: Howard Robison '37,<br />
Barber Conable '43, and Henry Reuss '33,<br />
to give publicity to the Founders Day dinner,<br />
and Adele also attended. The Smiths'<br />
daughter Cindy graduates from Lake Erie<br />
this year, while the youngest, Chana, is a<br />
freshman at Vermont U. Last year Adele<br />
and Bill had a fascinating trip, Australia to<br />
Hawaii, where she said the first person<br />
they saw was Jack Detwiler. No doubt they<br />
included a visit with daughter Dale and her<br />
husband Don, who live near Los Angeles<br />
with their two little girls. Don is with<br />
Standard Oil of California—both he and<br />
Dale are '59. Brother Dong is '68 and<br />
headed for law school. Tony graduated<br />
from Harvard Law School last June, and is<br />
now practicing law with Brown, Wood,<br />
Fuller, Caldwell & Ivy, which Adele says<br />
makes them feel pretty ancient. Jeff graduated<br />
from Dartmouth last June and is now<br />
in Harvard Medical School.<br />
Marion Ford Fraser was in New York<br />
while husband Dave, LLB '37, attended the<br />
Law School luncheon, and gave Adele the<br />
news of her family: both David Jr. and<br />
Robbie graduated from Hamilton and then<br />
did library work at Syracuse. David is now<br />
with the Library Co. in Philadelphia, specializing<br />
in rare books, while Robbie works<br />
in the Rare Book Room at Syracuse. Fred<br />
is a sophomore at Hamilton, while Janet<br />
is still in secondary school.<br />
Carleen Maley Hutchins is still doing<br />
wonderful things, under a Guggenheim<br />
Foundation grant, with acoustics and violins<br />
and violas that are works of art. She has<br />
given talks on her work a number of times,<br />
including one on campus. In January the<br />
Philadelphia Inquirer carried an article<br />
about the Delaware Valley debut of a "new<br />
family of fiddles" when the opening concert<br />
of the season would demonstrate Carleen's<br />
string instruments. Her work was the<br />
subject of two different articles in The New<br />
York Times in February. Son Bill is at<br />
Haverford, and daughter Cassy in high<br />
school still.<br />
Fran Staley Durham is on the board of<br />
trustees of Camden County Mental Health<br />
Assn., and is active with the education<br />
committee. Her first and only grandchild is<br />
a boy, born August '65.<br />

George F. Behringer reports from Shelter<br />
Island Heights, Long Island, that his summer<br />
hotel, the Shelter Island House, is up<br />
for sale. The hotel has been in his family<br />
for the past 70 years, and until it is sold,<br />
will still be operated by George and his<br />
family. George is now managing the Shelter<br />
Island branch office of the North Fork<br />
Branch & Trust Co. of Long Island. He<br />
finds that the public relations background<br />
of the hotel business is applied daily in the<br />
field of banking.<br />

York.<br />
Chester H. Lee, Dexter, has leased his<br />
600-acre, 90-cow dairy farm to his third<br />
son, Tom, and hopes to be freer to do more<br />
public service activities. His oldest son is<br />
attending medical school at the U of Michigan,<br />
and his second son is teaching science<br />
in high school. One daughter has three sons,<br />
and his youngest daughter will be heading<br />
for college next year. Chester and wife<br />
Doris (Rathbun) '35 had the good fortune<br />
to go with an exchange group to India with<br />
the Farmers & World Affairs organization<br />
early in 1966. They were hosted there by<br />
the Indian Farmers Forum for six and a<br />
half weeks and learned much of the Indian<br />
cultivator's point of view. Their trip took<br />
them to Rome, Delhi, Meerut, Lucknow,<br />
Agra, Gwalior, Bhopal, Nagpur, Jalgaon,<br />
Bombay, Madras, and Chandigarh. On the<br />
