Dorothy Louise, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Percival J. Holmes, was married March 20 to Mr. Roger Wentworth Carpenter at Winter Hill, Mass.
Charlie Main has completed the construction job that has kept him for nearly a year in Danville, Va., and has returned to Boston and Winchester. On their way home he and Rose had a pleasant call on Charlie and Alma Milham in Williamsburg.
Immediately on his return to Boston Charlie sent out a call for a 1906 luncheon to be held at the Parker House on March 31. The particular cause for this gathering was the presence of Dave Main from Denver. Randall Cooke, Con Chellis and his son, Arthur Holmes, Lymie Frazier, Walter Powers, and Bob Wallace joined Charlie in greeting Dave, whom they report to be in top-notch condition. Dave's younger daughter, Gretchen, came to Boston with him and will remain for a time to attend Miss Farmer's School of Cookery. His older daughter, Betty, has been living for several years in Boston, where she holds a secretarial position.
Nat Leverone is spending a couple of weeks at the Edgewater Gulf Hotel, Biloxi, Miss. Among the responsibilities from which Nat is getting a brief rest by this jaunt south are the presidency of the Automatic Canteen Company of America (his main job), directorships in the Chicago Federal Savings and Loan Association and the Central National Bank of Chicago, chairmanship of the Safety-Highway Council of Illinois, and the presidency of the Anti-Superstition Society.
On May 17 Alfred A. Knopf will publish Charlie Crane's new book, Let Me ShoiuYou Vermont. The MAGAZINE will carry a review of this volume in some later number, but I know many of you will want to obtain copies at once. Charlie's intimate knowledge of his native state and his delightful style are warrant enough without waiting to see how the reviewers praise it.
The Boston Herald has recently presented its first Distinguished Business Leadership Certificate to the Boston 'and Maine and Maine Central railroads "inrecognition of honorable and meritoriousservice to the upbuilding of our community and New England." Both of these roads are headed by President Edward S. French. Their management and personnel were selected for the Herald award after a careful survey of their records, which show that they have pioneered among all the railroads in the country in many modern improvements in passenger and freight transportation facilities. They were the first in the country to offer the public a complete transportation system—rail, air, and bus—all under railroad management; they introduced the first streamlined train east of the Mississippi; they started and now operate the first railroad-owned airline in the country; they introduced the first "snow train" and the first "bike and hike train" in the country, excursion innovations now widely copied; and they were the first railroads east of the Mississippi to offer the shipping public pickup-and-store-door delivery service for lessthan-carload freight.
Joseph H. Nuelle has recently been elected president of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. He has resigned, in order to take up his new position, the presidency of the New York, Ontario, and Western Railway, with which he has been connected since 1908. One of the oldest of American corporations, the coal company holds or leases anthracite areas with estimated resources of 500,000,000 tons and an annual productive capacity of 4,000,000 tons. It owns two railroads—the Lehigh and New England, which commands one of the gateways between the coal fields and New England, and the Lehigh and Susquehanna, which forms the main line of the Central of Jersey through the Lehigh valley region.
