Bob Bransten emails that he visited the new Hood Museum and met with the director, John Stomberg. “I was delighted to tour the new building and see the wonderful permanent collection. Maybe the best takeaway was John’s intent to make the museum important for all Dartmouth students. As he said, ‘A premed student with no prior art interest has to be urged to look carefully.’ ” Bob donated to the Hood a painting by Tsugouharu Foujita, a Japanese painter at the time of Toulouse-Lautrec. “The museum has made huge strides since our time, and we can be proud of the Hood’s impressive contribution to the College.”
From Tucson, Arizona, Peter Hovell sends this message: “We moved from Connecticut to Tucson in 2009. It is a beautiful, friendly, and interesting city. The theater, arts, scenery, people, lack of snow, and desert were very inviting and invigorating. Fraternity brother Bill Carleton twisted our arms at the 50th reunion to visit him in Tucson. Within days we were looking for a real estate broker. We will be seeing Bill tomorrow for his 89th birthday party. We have also visited Bill Behrens up in Phoenix a few times. I believe that we are an extraordinarily fortunate generation in what we have experienced and how we have lived. Our only regret is that we may have contributed to the terrible divisiveness and anger going on around us and that we are now leaving to our kids.”
Word of the day:Hypotaxis, which means “subordination of one clause to another or when the clauses are coordinated or subordinated within sentences. The opposite is parataxis.” There are several examples of the application of hypotaxis contained in this column. Please identify at least one example in the report on your life that you are about to send me.
CPAP users: Medicare and a supplemental health insurance policy probably pay for your use. Remember, your insurance carrier might be listening for each breath registered through your nose only.
With sadness I report the passing of Foster L. Aborn and Dudley Dutton Heath.
