1902

Our old friend "Kenie," who was appointed to a judgeship in the Boston municipal court a few years ago, has been honored by Governor Saltonstall, on January 20, by being made Chief Justice Davis B. Keniston. Kenie's son, Davis 8., a fine, strapping boy, went into the Army early in March. He had been a student at M.I.T. and had planned to major in radio. Kenie has a summer home at Marshfield, Mass., where his good wife, Alice, has given splendid hospitality to "Beezle" Parker, myself and our wives.

Roy Hatch wrote me a fine letter telling me about the annual class get-together of a few of our '02 class mates at the Dartmouth Club in New York. George Hubbard is the spark that starts the sleeping fires there as well as at our reunions, and evidently he saw that all were in happy moods. Besides George and Roy Hatch there came Edson, Farr, Porter, Bunker, Arthur V. Ruggles and "Barney" Luce. Roy says that the cry is: "Close up '02 as die ranks thin, but never waver and the old Dartmouth spirit deepens with the long years." Thank you, Roy and George. I hope we can also open up. A Boston Reunion might be a good suggestion someday.

I want to thank George Elderkin, Art Ruggles, and William Carroll Hill for good letters. I wish I could get more, and I must to be any sort of Secretary. William Carroll Hill is an insurance journalist and has recently published a genealogy based on the family of his mother: A History of theFamily of Captain John Mills. "W. C." has a son, Robert, who joined the Dartmouth unit as a trainee for pilot in the Naval Air Reserves. He was Dartmouth, class of 1942.
