From Bob Moseley's letter of October Bth these items will interest everyone.
"Last night Alf Hastings and I represented 'O4 at the annual Dartmouth Night celebration at the Mayflower Hotel. Occasionally Alf, Whittemore and I get together at some Dartmouth function, hear the latest news of the College, swap informa- tion regarding men of our Class, and enjoy the ac- tivities of an unusually active Dartmouth Associ- ation. We haven't located any other 'O4 men in Washington. Private William Parker, son of our Murray, called on me recently on his way to a southern school for Army Officers. He's a young- ster who won a Ph.D. at Harvard before he was 21, an interesting chap, of whom his dad must be very proud.
"In a recent shuffle in Lend-Lease, your humble servant was promoted to Liaison Officer in the For- eign Trade Relations Division with special duties in connection with the administration of the Eden- Winant White Paper Memorandum. As this in- volves the consideration of exports from the United Kingdom of products made of Lend-Lease ma- terials, with necessary contacts with all the important governmental departments and with for- eign trade missions, there are few idle or uninterest- ing moments in my day. My fraternal greeting to all 'O4 men at the pre-Harvard game dinner. My attendance there two years ago will always remain one of the happiest occasions in my life."
A late-summer letter from Peacham Blanchard brought the news that Peacham and Mrs. Blanchard are in good health and that he
"visited Earl Herman in June at his place in Woodstock and learned that Jack Kirker had been there only a few days before—Earl looks fine and is still the most enthusiastic Dartmouth man in the middle west."
He also enclosed a clipping from a Spokane Washington paper without date—probably early August, with news of interest to us all "Gene- vieve May Felts, widow of Lieutenant Buell Felts for whom Felts field was named, and Spokane County Commissioner Charles Mowry Lockwood, both of Opportunity, were married yesterday. Mrs. Lockwood has been teaching school at the Oppor- tunity Grade School. Her first husband was killed in a flight near the field which now bears his name on May 29, 1927. Mr. Lockwood who operated an apple packing plant in the valley, was elected com- missioner two years ago. He has long been a resi- dent of the valley." The same paper carried an attractive picture of County Commissioner Lock- wood, being accused by the County Auditor of "sneaking" over to Idaho to get married causing a loss in fees to Spokane County—a compromise set- tlement was effected by the commissioner agreeing to give the amount of the fee to relieve suffering among American and Filipino soldiers, prisoners of Japan, if the auditor would do the same."
Under date of September 15th came the most attractive wedding invitation I have yet seen; in the genial manner of Arthur E. Sewall, whose name was engraved on the paper. "My last unmarried daughter, Happy, has decided that she would like to be married before her fiance is taken into service and has therefore assigned Friday, September 18th at two P.M. at the Congre- gational Church at York Village, Maine, as the time and place where this happy event will be consummated. There not being time for formal invitations, I have been re- quested to issue to you a cordial invitation to attend, if it is possible for you to do so. I anticipate being there in my best regalia and in best form and personally would en- joy very much having you come." Happy attended several of our reunions.
