We have received a new list of ’29 widows—there are many and we would enjoy hearing from you.


The big news the weekend I am writing this: The Dartmouth football team left its losing streak behind. They played well in pouring rain and defeated Columbia 28-6. By the time you read this the season will be over, but we had to include what an exciting time it was to be in Hanover for Homecoming Weekend.


Rip and I both attended Class Officers Weekend, where we as always enjoyed seeing and being with fellow officers.


We treasure hearing from professor John Cavanagh, younger son of “Ellie,” who wrote that his older brother—Class of ’29 Baby—Jim and his wife, Susan, still regularly enjoy tennis matches in Tallahassee, Florida. He also mentioned remembering as a child living for a few years, in the early 1930s, on Reservoir Road, Hanover, in a house belonging to Ford Sayre, who at that time was manager of the Hanover Inn.


Rip shares:


“I knew Jim Wright our president


Was great as he could be


And hoped Jim Kim as resident


Could be as good as he.


I know Jim Kim now well enough


And thank the stars above


He is already one of us


Who does his job with love.”
