1926

BABE ALLEN "Yes, I'm in service and have been for over a year. Received a commission as 1st Lt., Air Corps, in July '42. While in Miami OTC saw Hank Bjorkman, Capt. A.C.—in fact I discovered him in my squadron while calling roll. Met Gail Borden, major, AC at Wright Field last spring—sat next to him at a meeting. Had not seen him since a day in June, 1926.

"My particular assignment is in maintenance—chief of ground handling and shop equipment, the equipment needed to keep the planes flying. It is most interesting but often discouraging. We are really in big business and we have a job to d0..... Sent for my family: Laura, Betty, and Patty, and we have had a year at Springfield, Ohio, (2732 East High St.). Girls are in junior high and are two lively ones."

DUTCH DIEHL "I was in Chester (next town to Long Valley) last Sunday at the grounds of the Long Range Gun Club. I think you were, too, and inquired for meanyway I suspect it was you and can guess how you happened to know I was a member. But if you think I'm nuts so far, I'll explain. We members were at the Club to post our land against other hunters. About noon, one of the boys told me a milk man had asked for me.

"I get up in that neck of the woods about every Sunday morning with a couple of friends. We run dogs and get them ready for the hunting season. So I'll be over to see you one of these days."

FLASH FALLON The Flash is a tough man to keep up with. After telling me last month that his Long Island address was an address to end all addresses, he now writes from Hatboro, Pa., "Since my earlier letter, Brewster has seen fit to transfer me to this plant."

HAD HADLOCK Now a major in the Army, but much more important to him and Josephine was the arrival of Harriet, born August 28.

DUTCH HALL Thanks to Parker Merrow '25 for the following news about Dutch: "He is now a lieutenant (jg) in the Coast Guard Temporary Reserve. He has charge of the flotillas up on the Maine coast. Correct that sentence to read 'some of the flotillas.' As I understand it, a flotilla of the C.G. Temporary Reserve is a group of yachtsmen, business men, etc., who go on duty at sundown, take their boats out and listen and patrol all night long for subs off the coast. Very pleasant in the summer. But in the winter a hoss up two other alleys. This work releases a large number of regular C.G. men for overseas duty."

MEMORIAL FUND I asked Herb Darling's permission to report here his unusually generous contribution to our 25th Year Memorial Fund. Here is what he says —"As to the War Savings Bond, you are welcome to mention it with the hope that it may give others the same idea. My feeling and yours for the College grows with the years. Don't forget Dartmouth gave me scholarship aid when I sorely needed it. A few more bonds and I will be on the credit side with my conscience."
