A couple of months ago I was invited to a meeting of the Dartmouth Hill Winds Society. I was impressed. It is a group that organized in 2006 to meet with various parts of the College to illustrate what a nice experience the students are having. From more than 100 volunteers from the sophomore class 10 are chosen to serve three years, to meet with alumni and students locally and to travel with College officers, including the president, to alumni meetings. Some are student-athletes and all interesting people to meet. They do sell the College.


Bud Elder just pointed out a letter in the local newspaper by Dick Hinman, who, in addition to running our mini-reunions, was making some thoughtful suggestions to the White House. On another subject, Dick reported to me that Bruce Kenworthy had experienced a rather severe heart attack, but still hoped to make the mini-reunion. Hang in there, Bruce. We hope to see you.


Rex Felton’s son reports on how his father is contending with chemo and radiation with exercise. Thayer Smith sent Bob Joy a great report on how he (Thayer) bicycled from Hanover to the Washington Bridge in 24 hours on a dormitory bet. That was in our student days and I do not suggest any classmates try to equal that effort at this age. There still may be time to get to the mini-reunion and the Kreindler reception September 20. Make it!
