CLASS of 1909
George Adams, Curt Sheldon, and Phil Rose attended the annual meeting of the Alumni Association of Connecticut in New Britain.
Max Bonter is now with the Berkshire Mills, in charge of the territory from Denver to the Pacific Coast, and will live in Seattle. Hal Murchie has been elected a director of the Maine Central Railroad Company.
Miss Gladys Alvord was married to Craig Thorn, Jr., July 3, 1931, and they will live in Hudson, N. Y.
We report with mingled feelings the engagement of Miss Beryl Aileen Libby to Curtiss L. Sheldon. We had thought of Curt busily engaged in his work as trust officer of the New Britain National Bank and city treasurer of New Britain, dealing in large financial matters and impervious to anything else except a class reunion. We have often observed Curt in the middle of a feminine throng at a reunion, but after all these years paid no attention, believing it of little if any significance. In fact we had relied upon him as being our main aid in looking after unattended wives at our next reunion. This will reduce the number of bachelors to approximately a half dozen.
The long missing "Cap" Kelly has been heard from: Dear Bob:
You have been asking me for a line-up on the '09ers from out here in the tall-pine country so often and your persistence is so admirable, that I must succumb. Here she blows????.
As a preliminary observation, I beg to serve notice upon you that I have desertedthe arid regions of Montana for the more moist atmosphere of the Puget Sound country. However, I must add that from the point of view of personal aridity the laws of the state of Washington are more harsh on the human system than are the more liberal and sensible laws of the state of Montana. However, Monfana has been very kind to me, and I shall always cherish the fond recollections of the time I spent in the great open spaces where men are men who still like and have their hard licker. Tell the boys that they will find me at all future time at 916 Insurance Bldg., Seattle, Wash., and I shall be happy to see them any time.
Last night, Bob, the Dartmouth men got together at the University Club, Seattle, the occasion being a Wah-hoo-wah for Bill Geiger, class '92, who has accepted a professorship at the old college. Mr. Geiger is one of the best known educators on the Pacific Coast, and we fellows out here feel that the College has acquired a very valuable addition to the faculty. There were some 30 fellows from the old school present at the party, Bob, and we made it a real Dartmouth night.
There were three members from good old 'O9 present, Max Bonter, Jim Davis, and myself. We led the league in the matter of representation. Mike Stearns 'OB called on us last week, and told us about a lot of the boys.
Max and Jim are looking fine and getting along nicely. We talked about the old gang, and each told the other what he knew about the fellows. We enjoyed one another's telling whom he had seen.
Best regards, Bob,
"CAP" KELLY 'O9
