1889*

George Bard, with address at 233 Broadway, New York City, is District Representative of The Biggs Boiler Works Co. of Akron, Ohio. For many years he operated the Petroleum Iron Works in Sharon, Pa. Business now takes him to many of the important industrial centers in the East. He is active in war work. On a recent visit to Washington, D. C., he called upon Henry Blair which George says "is always refreshing, for Henry looks upon life as having some bright spots and says so with a dry humor that hits me right."

Campton, N. H., an interesting old town in Grafton County, was the birthplace of David Blakely, our late classmate. Here also was born Davis B. Keniston '02 whose recent appointment as Chief Justice of the Municipal Court of the City of Boston was unanimously confirmed. When David was a young man Judge Keniston, then a small boy, remembers seeing him in Plymouth. That was many years ago when David's father was the minister of the church in Campton where the father and grandfather of Judge Keniston attended. Since then they had been loyal and good friends. In more recent years both were summer residents of Marshfield, Mass., where they saw quite a little of each other—there in the town where Daniel Webster in later life lived and died.

Burt Redfield, youngest member of our class, ob- served his 74th birthday Feb. 7th. Now retired, for many years he was assistant postmaster of Dover, N. H., where he and Mrs. Redfield reside at 6 Towle Ave. Their only son John, Ist. Lt. in the C.A., is with the armed forces in an undisclosed foreign country.

Notice was received Feb. 1, announcing the death of Thomas Flynn in his 84th year. He entered Dartmouth with our class (CSD) and left college junior year. Further details under In Memoriam.

Sherman Hobbs, in a recent letter, gives a real picture of his life in Pelham, N. H. He entered with our class but left at Christmas vacation in junior year. He has continued to be an enthusiastic and loyal 'B9er, and has attended many of our reunions.

Harry Frost writes Feb. 3rd from Florida that he and Mrs. Frost are enjoying a good quiet winter in St. Petersburg, where Gage '87 is spending the day with them.

Another recent letter is from George Sparhawk. His son, George F. Jr., 39 years old and usually weighing 200 lbs., has been stationed in Florida since joining the Army last August. His drilling there has taken off 35 lbs. Another son, John Burt, now 42, tried to get into the Army but was rejected on account of his eyes—teeth satisfactory. He then tried the Navy, which rejected him on account of teeth—eyes satisfactory with glasses. Now he is looking for a job anywhere and at any time—anything to help win the war.

Secretary, 108 Mt. Vernon St., Boston, Mass
