Thanks it such a simple question why all the fuss. There are two D. Hines
in
the directory, one from Hawaii in '63 and one from California in '85,
long
after my time.

Normandy

I have seen references to a son and a daughter. She is is said to be
quite bright and outgoing. Question, since he claims 1962 as his
graduation date, is the 1963 just the publication of the list or
suggest something else. Heh heh, as it were.

62 was my year 63 is what is listed for David Hines at Timothy Dwight
there may be other D. Hines in other colleges who were in the class of '62
or the information in the directory may incorrect or need updating.

Surely 'Dwight Frye' College?

Joking apart, the 'Spencer' bit was added later, in order to make grandiose
and absurd genealogical claims to puff plain old DH, during some crisis of
confidence. He has openly referred to the late Princess of Wales, Diana, as
'cousin Diana', and the Black Prince as 'great grandfather Edward'.... need
I say more?

I can't imagine how ghastly he was at college, after having been rejected by
the Skull and Bones mob and no doubt festering in his room, plotting
revenge. Anyone who has seen the film 'Animal House' (set in the early
1960's) will no doubt remember Douglas C Niedermeyer, the posturing,
perverted head of the OTC at Faber College, and wondered whether DSH was the
model for this most unsavoury character. Niedemeyer was of course shot by
his own troops in Vietnam, but luckily for Hines, he never went there and
his staff in the Housing Office at Pearl Harbour were not usually armed...

Any anecdotes and tales of DSH's student days would be most welcome - they
may possibly be as hilarious as the details of his lacklustre Naval career,
which have provided many hours of delight, mirth and amusement to many folk
on Usenet.

Cheers
Martin
