    Notes:

    Obituary: Class of 1939. "Richard Lewis Hobbs died April 15, from acute myelogenous leukemia in Pompano Beach, Florida. At Dartmouth Dick majored in philosophy and comparative literature and was a member of Kappa Kappa Kappa. He earned his law degree at Harvard Law School and served in the Army Signal Corps and Judge Advocate General Corps in WWII. Dick's entire career was spent with United Shoe Machinery Corp. (later USM Corp.) of which he was vice president and general counsel until retirement in 1972. He and wife Dotty alternated between Pompano Beach and West Ossipee, New Hampshire, in each retirement year. Dick served on the Alumni Council 1979-83 and was active in interviewing College applicants. In earlier years, he was engaged in local government in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. Dick is survived by Dotty, his wife of almost 65 years; children Steven '69, Lee and Jane; four grandchildren; and one great-grandchild."

    More than all this, Dick Hobbs was one of the nicest men who ever lived and is sorely missed by all of us who knew and loved him.
