1904*

The winter Get-Together of '01-'02-'03-'04-'05 is developing much interest and my information indicates, tentatively at least, that Boston is the place and Saturday, March 15th, the date. Would you like to see it a sort of open house affair starting with luncheon and going through the afternoon to dinner, or would you prefer only a group luncheon or dinner? Send your suggestions to me and I will see that the committee gets them. It is good news to learn that the classes of '06 to '10 inclusive are working on a similar plan.

Paul Gordon Favour is now retired and living at 645 Glenneyre Street, Laguna Beach, Cal., after an active ministry of thirty-four years. Because of illness Paul resigned the Rectorship of St. John's Episcopal Church at Presque Isle, Me., in November, 1939, and was then elected Rector Emeritus of that church. He has been ill for several weeks this fall but writes that he is recovering and hopes to be on his feet shortly and in condition for our fortieth in three years. He joined the Grandfathers Aug. is, 1940 when Gail Ann Carmichael was born in Rutland, Vermont. Gail is the daughter of Paul's daughter Elizabeth. He also had the pleasure denied most fathers of officiating at the wedding of Miss Edith Fait, Colby '38, and Paul Gordon Favour Jr., Bowdoin '36 at Bar Harbor, Maine, Sept. 14, 1940.

Bill and Mrs. Roby left the New Hampshire dam site where his firm is doing a major flood control project and spent Christmas with the Lampees at Winchester. What a fanning bee it must have been with The Band—Theta Delt—The Aegis-The Dragon Parrot—Rood House and Hamp Howe's direct service to Sid's as pertinent topics.

An afternoon tea minus the tea with Carl and Kitty Woods increased the Christmas joy and provided an opportunity for one Lafayette '05 Chamberlain, present with Mrs. Chamberlain, to gather dripping words of wisdom from three of our representative young men.

The Jackson family spent New Year's with us as usual and it seemed good to see Delbert junior, as a freshman, forty years after we had established life-long friendships with his dad.

It was my privilege to spend a couple of days in Hanover recently—the day the boys returned from the Christmas holidays and the morning college opened. The opening was accompanied by a 10 below zero temperature, showing that Hanover hasn't changed much in 40 years. It is a great place to visit at any time of year and I wish it were possible to convince many of you that a few vacation days spent there would speed up your gait and stimulate sources of conversation and interest too long unused. Try it.
