Class Note 1929

Spring had a very hard time arriving in these environs this year. One warm day, three or four very cold and windy. At least there weren’t tornados, and we feel so very sad for the people affected by them. However, the usual spring flowers popped up in spite of the cold, and were we ever glad to see them after our long, cold, snowy winter. Have I mentioned before how much we love living at Kendal? If anyone considers retiring to Hanover, this is the place with so much to offer.


As of the weekend this was written, Dartmouth’s women’s lacrosse team shared the Ivy crown with UPenn after defeating Harvard. We hope they make it all the way to the NCAA playoffs. Amy Patton, Dartmouth’s coach for her 19th year, had her 100th Ivy League and ninth league title with this game. The Dartmouth Club of the Upper Valley hosted a barbeque before the game.


Is Rip feeling his age? He writes:


If you have lived


to a hundred and four;


have a loving wife,


there’s nothing more.
