Dave Chalmers, who drove from Houston to participate in our class mini-reunion this past October with his companion Marlene Cooke (par excellence photographer for the event), sent in an article about the 50th anniversary of Vail, Colorado, featuring Sandy Treat, Dave’s roommate his first semester in 1942. Sandy was on the ski team at Dartmouth and eagerly joined what eventually became the 10th Mountain Division specifically trained for mountain warfare. The training was vigorous. By December 1944 they went to Italy to fight the Germans, who had been holding off advances by the Americans in the Apennine mountains, succeeding in their mission.

Welles Fendrich announced the release of his second novel Make It Fifty, in which he tells the story of a character who developed an effective internal program designed to motivate ITT Corp. to strive to increase profits from 10 to 15 percent each quarter for 50 consecutive quarters. It worked. Because of its underlying spiritual theme, Welles, who worked for ITT in the 1970s, hopes it will motivate business executives to do the same.
