1911*

1650 Harvard St., N.W., Washington, D. C.

A marriage of interest to all of us was that of Ed Keeler to Mrs. Frances R. Macfarland on January 14. They were married in the First Presbyterian Church in Evanston and will live in Winnetka. Ed's daughter, Lucy, was married in November to Lt. James H. Stanton. Mrs. Keeler has two daughters, Mary, who is now Mrs. Roy West, and Margaret Macfarland, a student at Dobbs Ferry.

Gov. Jordan is on the staff of John S. B. Davie, Labor Commissioner o£ New Hampshire in the Unemployment Compensation Division. Gov. has been active in Civilian Defense in Concord and has been serving as Chief Air Raid Warden of the city, a position of considerable responsibility. Gov. had heard earlier that Pat Hurley was expecting to serve on the staff of General Lee. No word has been received since from Pat to know whether or not he is still in this country. Pat is now a colonel, with eagles and everything.

Biff Thompson, who entered the Service as a Major, has been promoted to Lt. Colonel. Biff is back in the Air Corps, where he was in 1917, and is Chief of the Special Service Section of the Flying Training Command at Fort Worth. This command has charge of all flying training fields and covers all three waterfronts. Biff writes he would be "interested in hearing from any of the old buzzards who have gone back into the service."

Carl Waterbury is an active member of the Purchasing Department of the Remington Company in Ilion, New York. Dutch's son Palmer, Dartmouth '38, graduated from the Adjutant General's School, Fort Washington, Md., as a 2nd lieutenant in September and was married a week later to Jane Thompson, Vassar '38, of Elmira, N. Y. He is assigned to M.R.U., and at last reports was at Camp George Wright, Spokane, Washington. Dutch admits he finds time occasionally to take part in a bit of grouse and woodcock hunting, which somehow or other he figures is related to skeet shooting.

Chuck Emerson's business title and address is General Production Superintendent, U. S. Rubber Company, Munitions Division, Milwaukee, Wis.

Ruth Mathes' marriage to Ensign James Francis Gerrity 11, took place on January 13 at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York City and was followed by a reception at Sherry's.

Carroll Jones, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Colony in New Lisbon, N. J., wrote that his son, John, was a captain in the Marines in the Solomons. This, however, was in October. Son Perry at that time was a Ist lieutenant in the Field Artillery at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. Daughter Ann is back at Stephens College.

Both of Riley Young's sons are actively engaged in war work, the oldest son, Tilton, being an aviation mechanic with the Republic Aviation Company, Farmingdale, Long Island, while Robert, the younger son, who enlisted in the Navy in March 1941, is a pharmacist's mate and has already seen all the countries along the northern route to Russia. Cupe Adams is now associated with Bendy Griswold and, I expect, may be classified as an accountant.

Lt. George French of the Military Police recently returned from a convoy trip on the Atlantic and is now temporarily stationed in New Jersey. His son, George Jr., Dartmouth '45, left Dartmouth after wo years and entered the Mountain Infantry at Camp Hale, Colorado.

Advice from Jake Lovejoy indicates that he is still plugging along with the U. S. Rubber Company in Naugatuck but life is somewhat different now, since the company is engaged practically 100 per cent in making rubber goods for the war effort. Even Jake says he has to walk as he can't get rubber for his car.

The Slim Eaton family is much engaged in war activities. The somewhat rusted old colonel, Slim himself, has been declared fit for active service but meanwhile is keeping his paternal eye on the little houses which Sears, Roebuck is building for war workers. Wife Sibyl is cooking and baking and knitting for the soldier boys. Son Edward, Dartmouth '37, a 2nd lt. in the Infantry Reserve, when called to active duty, was transferred to the Air Corps as an administrative officer. Fred, Class of '41, was at last reports working for the old man's, firm of Sears Roebuck. Both of these sons have a wife and baby. Stanley, the youngest son, finished his sophomore year at Purdue. He joined the Enlisted Reserve and is in training for an artillery commission, but expects to be called for active duty at any moment.

Leo Caproni is still busy designing war plants, with Hazel carrying on in Civilian Defense and Red Cross. Leo Jr., after training at Fort Benning, Georgia, was graduated as a commissioned officer. Jack has enlisted in the Air Corps but is continuing his architectural studies at Yale.

Vermont's Senior Inspector for the Wage and Hour Division of the U. S. Labor Department is our old friend Windy Winship. Windy is living at 65 North Main Street, Rutland, Vermont. The report is that he is doing a fine job.

Gabe Farrell was in Washington in the fall but arrived with the flood so that he was not able to report to 1911 headquarters. However, the information was picked up that his son Gay is a sophomore at Middlebury College and that old man Gabe has recently been appointed Lecturer on the Blind in the Graduate School of Education at Harvard. This allows Gabe to stick his chest out as a member of the faculty.
