Another welcome visitor to your Secretary in Washington was Doc Viets, who was attending a scientific convention. We had a dinner together down on the docks by the Potomac, and on Sunday drove out to Annapolis to see the Naval Academy.

Your Secretary expects to attend the Midwinter meeting of the House of Delegates of the American Bar Association at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago, March 17 and 18. He is delegate from the Bar Association of the State of New Hampshire.

Among those present were Charlie Gately, Jim Irwin, Doc O'Connor, Dick Plumer, Dick Remsen and Manvel Whittemore. Doc O'Connor was one of the principal speakers, and with Jim Irwin sat at the head table among the iron hats.

Jim Boak is on duty with the fleet in the Pacific and writes from the U. S. S. Phoenix at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He is very busy preparing for any emergency, and is hoping to be ordered to the Naval Academy, since he is due for shore duty.

Husky DeMerrett is now a major and is Asst. Adjutant General at 2106 Oahu Ave., Honolulu, Hawaii. He sends best regards to all the class.

Your Secretary had a letter from Al Eiseman in New York. Al was for many years vice president of one of the largest wholesale silk houses in the country. In recent years he has been vice president of an automobile finance company.

Wallie Jones, President of Rockwood & Co., (cocoa-chocolate) of Brooklyn, N. Y. is in Florida and looking forward to the time he will be back on the job after a long enforced rest.

Dixie Ross Kinne, daughter of Doc Kinne is a student at Sweet Briar College, Virginia, where she is soloist for the glee club. The club gave a concert at Lynchburg, Va., and so impressed was Senator Carter Glass of Virginia that he and Mrs. Glass asked to meet her afterwards.

Guy Lewis is still in charge of the construction of the double drive along the Mississippi coast through Harrison County, Miss. He is wondering if Roy 2d, born July 26, 1940, is the youngest class baby. His grand pop is 6' 6", and will send either a tackle or a drum major to Dartmouth for the class of '62.

Gertrude, Charlie McCarthy's good wife, writes that she and daughter Joan enjoy the MAGAZINE as much as Charlie does. She says that at Outremont, Montreal, Canada, it is difficult to buy U. S. Exchange, and that they appreciate only too well that personal liberties must be sacrificed in time of war.

Jim Oneal has a new address at 1940 Lombardy Road, Pasadena, Cal.

Your Secretary had a call from our faithful treasurer, Dick Plumer, the other day. Dick is planning a change in his connections on account of Mrs. Plumer's illness, which necessitates her residence in Florida, where they have an attractive beach house.

Dick Remsen's son Dick, now a junior at Dartmouth, has evidently made the Dartmouth golf team, as he qualified third in the fall try-outs, and is playing on the squash team this winter. Son Bill, now a Sophomore at Dartmouth, is President of his class, president of the Vigilantes (sophomore society), and on the hockey squad.

Alvie Garcia is moving to a new office. Dick Remsen says he is glad, for his old office was too near the pool-room at 1452 Broadway and inappropriate for the big cigar magnate. Alvie, Jim Irwin, Randie Burns and Dick celebrated Alvie's 50th birthday with a swell time the other night.

Secretary, Rochester, N. H.
