F I F T Y - O N E F A B L E S July, 2017 Volume LXV Number 2 ALL ABOUT THE UP-COMING MINI-REUNION - GO TO PAGE 14 News from the Membership Green E-mail from Kennebunkport, Maine 2/26/17 Dear Charlie, Many thanks for an outstanding class newsletter. So many wonderful things that you tell us that our classmates are doing. We hardly seem to be a sedentary bunch!! And I guess that I qualify for that designation also. The first half of February, Ki and I were on a two week cruise of Australia and New Zealand with a dear friend and 40 other people from Canada. The latter is a most fascinating country which we enjoyed thoroughly. Now we have to figure out how to get our 300 plus photos into an album so we can relive the adventure any time we wish. We are signed up for a river cruise in June for the Rhone, wine country in France, in November for a cruise into the Panama Canal and early January for five nights in the Caribbean, as a winter get away. We continue to live in our home in Kennebunkport, 150 yards from a beautiful beach, so that in the summer I am an accomplished beach sitter - reading and napping on it most every afternoon. 1 Ki and I are members of Rotary in town and very active there. I am involved with concerns for older folks (30% of the residents of Kennebunkport are 60 or older) and so I have been able to have our Selectmen establish a committee to consider and serve the needs of this significant segment of the community, which has not occurred heretofore. We have recently befriended a young woman from China who is here, working for Colgate Palmolive for six months. A delight!! We may need to go to China for her wedding. I get to the Dartmouth Club of Maine meetings in Portland regularly and seem to be one of the older folks there. Life seems to be full for us and we do enjoy it. Our older daughter and her husband moved to Tunbridge, VT over a year ago - to their retirement home (how can such young people have such old children?) - so we may be up your way and stop by to see you and the Nachman's sometime in the future. Bill Leffler Green E-mail from Meridian, Idaho 9/13/16: Charlie Russell: I got your e-mail address from your counterpart in our class of 1952, Bill Montgomery. I had told Bill about meeting a classmate of yours (Jim Wylie) here at Touchmark, our retirement community, recently and thought you'd be interested in a few comments Jim made to me last week, the first time we got together and realized we both had graduated from Dartmouth. Jim Wylie is a retired exploration geologist who years ago chanced to run into John Sloan Dickey on the coast of Labrador of all places! I thought this bit of history concerning John Sloan Dickey was fascinating, especially because it happened in such a remote location. I'll talk more with Jim Wylie about that time he ran into Dickey. When I asked Wylie about it, especially about what I know about Dartmouth activity in that area, he seemed to know little more. I think the Stefansson Collection came to Dartmouth the same year that Wylie graduated,1951, and he knew nothing about it. But he did light up when I mentioned a few of the geology professors we had for elementary courses like Dick Stoiber and John Lyons (I majored in geography, not geology). Dartmouth connections on the coast of Labrador were multi-annual and quite interesting. Wylie didn't remember Stearns Morse, Dean of Admissions, whose son Tony was a geology major. Tony (our class of '52) sailed with the Blue Dolphin, skippered by Capt. David Nutt ('41??), included others like Larry Coachman (maybe '49). Coach is now at U. of Washington (if he still lives) and was prominent in early efforts to age the Greenland ice sheet through analysis of gas trapped within bubbles in the ice sheet. Beanie Nutt was a character on campus, lived in Etna where he and wife Babs would hold weekly "Beanfeeds", hence the name Beanie Nutt. Also with Beanie on Blue Dolphin that I recall were Jack Tangerman ('53). 2 Final words: I am class of 1952, lived in Canaan in the mid-60s-early 70s while finishing my PhD at Baker Library for McGill University before moving to Ohio. From there I went to Idaho in 1998. Thought you'd be interested in this bit from Jim Wylie, who I have just met here. I knew the late Russ Dilks (and many other '51s) who went to high school near me in Abington, PA. Thought I'd mention that because Russ was a predecessor of Pete Henderson as class notes editor for a long time. Bill Mattox '52 Green Snail mail from Hilton Head Island, SC - 2/28/17: (Joe writes about his enormous collection of plastic cards, such as membership cards, credit cards and gift cards.) ...Cards are now in the hands of my daughter (Laura Lindner Sankey '86). I don't know how many she's got - 10,000 and growing. I get asked, "What are you going to do with them?" Answer: "Do not know!" BUT keep them coming. Warmly, Joe Lindner Green Card from Kailua, Hawaii 3/3/17: "We are fortunate enough to be citizens of two nations, USA and New Zealand. We split our time between our two homes. If any classmate is in Hawaii or New Zealand, please call us. USA - Hawaii: 808-888-7372 NZ - 011-643-527-8292 Thank you very much for Fifty One Fables. Warm regards and aloha," Bill "Mo" Monahan 3 In May, this e-mail exchange took place between Loye Miler and Mike Choukas: Mike, My father was the co-founder and editor of the afternoon newspaper in Knoxville, Tenn., which was actually owned by the Scripps-Howard chain headquartered in New York City. Thanks to the U. of Tennessee Volunteers, Knoxville was football crazy -- all the more so when they went undefeated in the 1938, 1939 and 1940 seasons and played in the Orange, Rose and Sugar bowls in succession. Seven years later I was a Knoxville High School senior, well aware that the bulk of my classmates would be going across town to "UT", and the fraternities there were already partying us. Something made me want to look further out, and then in January of 1947, my Dad commented at the dinner table that he had chatted that day with a Scripps-Howard executive in New York whose two sons had attended Dartmouth College and loved it. Both Dad and I were both vaguely aware that Dartmouth was somewhere up there in New England, but the main reason we recognized the name was because of the famous Fifth-Down game of 1940, which had fascinated us football buffs. These memories are jogged open by the mention in Sel Atherton's obituary that he and his mother had witnessed the Fifth Down game. I'm sure you remember that game well. Did you actually attend it? Loye Loye, I did, and I remember it well. I was sitting with Bill Blaik (our classmate to be), his younger brother, Bob (later a QB on one of the famous Army teams), and their mother. All of them, of course, part of the family of Dartmouth's coach, Earl Blaik. I was twelve. And, like most others in the stands, didn't have a clue that Cornell had scored on a fifth down until the next day. I've seen the news clips of that game several times and am actually pictured in one of the sweeps of the stands. What most people are not aware of is that Cornell was undefeated, had just beaten Ohio State the week before, and was ranked either first or second in the nation. So it was a really big deal. Mike The latest skinny is that the Class of '51 is mini-reuning this fall! 4 Green E-mail from Hanover, NH 5/29/2017: This being Memorial Day, it seems like an appropriate time to write to you about your classmate, Robert R. Jackson, or “Rob” as most everyone knows him. I noticed in the February 2017 issue of your very interesting “Fifty One Fables” about your 65th Reunion that you honored some of your classmates for their military service during the Korean conflict. Two that were mentioned by name were Bill Monahan and Jerry Mitchell. One that was not recognized was Rob Jackson. Rob served in the U. S. Marine Corps directly after graduating from Dartmouth, first as an enlisted man, going through Boot Camp at MCRD in San Diego and then as an officer, going through the Special Basic Course for officers at Quantico, VA. He then went to Camp Pendleton and on to combat officer assignment in Korea with the 1st Marne Division. The rest of the story that earned him a Silver Star and a Purple Heart is related below. On the deck of the Carrier USS Midway in San Diego Harbor, 3/15/15. I am writing to you about Rob because it would be a nice gesture if you could mention his service to our country in an upcoming newsletter.
