Class of 1889

The Secretary was in Hartford, Conn., in March, and tried to call on the three men of '89 who lived there.

Dr. and Mrs. Mark S. Bradley were away on a fifty day cruise through the Panama Canal and up and down the South American Coast.

He found Mr. and Mrs. George B. Kingsbury in their attractive new home, purchased last year, at 60 Concord St., West Hartford. Among the pieces of choice old furniture which they have is a heavy mahogany seat (perhaps it should be called a sofa) once used by the clergyman in the pulpit of one of the old churches in Lebanon, N. H.

Frank J. Reynolds, engineer of the Hartford Electric Light and Power Company, gave the Secretary some unusual thrills as he showed him the new South Meadow power plant of the company and some automatic distributing stations in different parts of the city. Although not able to appreciate the technical equipment of this thoroughly modern plant, constructed under Frank's watchful eye, he was impressed by and has great respect for the huge furnaces, generators, transformers, distributing apparatus, and all the rest of that which goes to make light and power instantly and continuously available to the thousands of homes and industrial plants of the big city. Particularly noteworthy to a layman are the many safety devices, the neatness and orderliness of the whole place, and the graphic records made hour by hour and minute by minute during the entire twenty-four hours of every day, showing just what is going on here and there throughout the whole plant. Another pleasant thing was a visit to the Hartford Golf Club, where our classmate lives. Besides serving the club in the important position of chairman of the greens committee, he apparently acts informally, but very effectively, as friendly guide and counselor to some members and to all employees of the club.

Secretary, 87 Milk St., Boston
