Two more numbers of the MAGAZINE before we get together in Hanover. Send in your news for the class column. I want to list in these coming numbers the men who may be found in Hanover in June.
At the recent annual meeting of the Liberty Mutual' Insurance Company, John Walter Cronin was re-elected vice president and general counsel.
I am sorry to record here the sudden death of Edward H. "Eggs" Egbert at his Saint Simons Island, Georgia, home on February 27th. "Eggs" had apparently been in poor health for a time, yet he had expressed the hope that he would be able to attend this coming reunion. He made a real contribution in Service to Russia during the war years and since then carried on his profession faithfully and with much benefit to the people of his little Georgia Island, which he sincerely loved. It was his privilege to carry the banner of Dartmouth 'O4 to more distant places than most of us have done. An account of his life will be found in the necrology columns of the May number.
Armen Manguerian went to California last September for a six weeks vacation with his family. He remained there three months and came back alone leaving his wife and daughter for the remainder of the winter. It was my privilege to act as a New Hampshire reception committee on a Boston to Manchester train when he returned home and the genial doctor indicated that he had enjoyed himself. He volunteered the information that on the way home he had visited Salt Lake City to get first hand information as to the Mormon way of living.
Earl Herman hopes to be with us at Hanover. His recent letter says,
"Last summer my phone rang and a stern gruff voice said, 'Mr. Herman did you happen to know a fellow at Dartmouth named Kirker?'
"Yes, he was a classmate." "Would you mind telling me what sort of a chap he was?"
"Well, Mr. Kirker was a nice chap aside from the fact that he cribbed his way through college."
and then they got together with their wives and had an 'O4 reunion.
Later Jack visited Freddy Root in San Francisco. Earl was looking forward to a visit with Peacham and I hope they have by this time completed reunion plans.
Carl with Mrs. Woods and Katherine spent a few weeks resting in a California ranch earlier in the year. Carl's son, Jim, who has been in the West for a year or more is returning May first to join his father in business.
Beck Johnson has been given the title of "CLASS ARCHIVIST" and the reunion committee requests that all films and pictures showing the age, development and character of 'O4, be sent to him so that he may assemble in permanent form a special edition of LIFE depicting the journey of 1904 from 1900 to now, with provision for continuance as long as the flag of 'O4 may be an active force, then to become the property of the college. Beck's address is 100 North Street, Pittsfield, Mass.
Here are four address changes since February—three doctors and a major well scattered over the country—give these addresses a try out with some reunion propaganda. Thomas V. Uniac, 17 Ridge Road, Lawrence, Mass.; Henry B. Safford, 87 Huntington Road, Garden City, L. 1., N. Y.; David E. Ford, Health Commissioner, 102 Bridge St., Washington, North Carolina; Howard G. Thorpe, Rainbow Lodge Properties, Roosevelt Highway, Monterey, California.
Within comparatively few months the Favours, Woods, Kirkers, and Manguerians have visited California and here's hoping they did a good bit of reunion missionary work.
Ike qualified as the pioneer Dartmouth settler in Wellesley Hills at the recent meeting of the Dartmouth Club of Wellesley. When each of the seventy in attendance were called upon to rise and give their name and class, Charron 'O4 led the list with 'O7 next. "However" says the tough old bird, "I didn't have to reject any dish put before me, as some of the others did and I didn't need any fizzy concoction to quell any digestion disturbance caused by the liquid refreshments."
Bill Kneeland still says he doesn't want the statue.
