Class Note 1935
Issue
Received lovely letters from Ralph Smith ’46 and Harry Hamptom ’45 regarding Max Feinberg’s New York Times obit in case I missed it. Wonderful conversation with Ralph, still working. He came from the north shore of Long Island, as did I.
Harry worked in New York City, as did I. He was head of two associations, both of which were in the business of explosives.
I received another eye-popping e-mail from Marvin Rauch dealing with another amazing aspect of our evolving universe. Marvin and I go back 85 years, when we were both students at public school in Far Rockaway, New York. He is really remarkable when you realize that he is also legally blind.
I attended a joint Orange County-Los Angeles Dartmouth clubs get-together, with more than 40 of us. My good friend Howard Jelinek ’60 drove me down. Our great president Maybelle Hueston ’86 deserves credit for enabling me to bond with the terrific young alums, which was so exciting that when I got home I could hardly get to sleep.
Those of you who don’t hook up with your nearest Dartmouth club are missing out on something that will enrich your life.
Had a nice conversation with Bill Krieg, the death of whose wife left a big hole in his life. He apologized for not getting in touch with me, but I understood that he does not feel 100 percent. Can’t drive, has trouble getting around even with a walker and has usual aches and pains of old age but sounded great to me, just living and feeling wonderful. Hope you will all feel the same.
I spent the last weekend visiting the family of two of my grandsons in Sacramento, California. I missed seeing Bob Reich ’68, son of Ed, but a very caring Bob phoned me that Ed is still playing golf, drives at night (which Bob does not approve of), and is doing great. Thanks very much, Bob. See you on my next trip, when I will certainly stop at Berkeley to get together with you.
Then received a call from Ed, who has been a friend since 1926. Had a wonderful conversation with him. He is doing fine and enjoying life. Hope this is the same for all of you.
