Living up here in paper country I was delighted to receive information on the induction of John Hinman, class of 1908, father of our Dick Hinman, into the Paper Industry Hall of Fame. Dick and Barbara were invited to Radisson Paper Valley Hotel in Appleton, Wisconsin, on October 1, 2009, for the impressive 15th annual induction ceremony. Since Dick worked for International Paper, too, this meant all the more to him. Dick is further to be congratulated for the attention he has brought to the Dartmouth athletic sponsors program with the ads they placed in the Dartmouth Big Green Sports News. This is to tell other classes and our class the importance of this support to our athletic programs. My wife and I had the unusual pleasure of interviewing Mary and Harold “Rip” Ripley ’29 as they came into our Kendal at Hanover community. That graduation date is not a mistake. Rip is 102 years old and going strong. Together they write the 1929 column in this magazine. He is the last of the class, and they are a very interesting couple that has lived in Hanover for many years. Do not forget the 1945 reunion in Hanover, September 24-26. It will be our last reunion. Also remember the Florida mini-mini March 14 at the usual place.
