After reading Lou Oldershaw’s last Class Notes I realized that, with the retirement of our long-time secretary Bob Kaiser and the death of Pete Cardozo, Lou was carrying the load himself and I wrote him offering help. I am now class secretary. (Never volunteer!)


If any of you have news you’d like to share please call or write me. I need a lot of help. Talked to Bob Kaiser and he sounded fine. He and Ev are in an assisted living place and are quite comfortable. He proudly told me that one of his granddaughters will enter Dartmouth in the fall. 


Since the last notes there is only one death to report.


David S. Smith died on April 13 at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. There was a long obituary in The Dartmouth and The New York Times outlining his many accomplishments. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa he got his law degree from Columbia University, served four years in the Navy as a lieutenant and then practiced international law in many capacities. He was appointed assistant attorney general of the United States under John Foster Dulles and later was appointed ambassador to Sweden by President Ford. He is survived by his wife, three sons and six grandchildren.
