1913

According to the New York Times of February 16th the Swedish motorship Gripsholm carrying German and French repatriated to be exchanged for Americans sailed from Jersey City, N. J. on the 15th for Lisbon. A Statement issued the Saturday before by the State Department about the expected exchange did not disclose how many persons or who would be involved in the exchange, but said that about 140 Americans, including S. Pinkney Tuck, charge d'affaires at Vichy, were caught when the Germans completed their occupation of France. Here's hoping Kippy is on the Gripsholm when it reaches the United States again.

Robert A. "Bob" Crenner, CY, USN. Retd., is at the U. S. Navy Recruiting Station in the Post Office Bldg., in Springfield, Mass. Retired in 1941 after 30 years service he cannot go to sea so says he is doing his fighting in this war right there in the Recruiting Station.

Hap Atwood's daughter Carol is engaged to Lt. Harvey Daniels '43. Harvey has been attending OCS at Camp Savage near Minneapolis. His father is a M. I. T. graduate of the class of 1916 and was with the Standard Oil Cos. in China and Japan for a good many years before the war. Hap is pleased that he is to have a Dartmouth son-in-law.

Chip Semmes on his return to this country found that his Dartmouth son, Harry Jr. is in the Marshalls show in Amphibian Tanks. Young Dave Davis was with his family (Ted's) at Harwichport for one day and they hope he will have another visit before he leaves the country again.

We were greatly shocked to learn that Leeds Gulick had died at the Mass General Hospital on March ist after six days of pneumonia. At the funeral services held at the Emmanuel Church in Boston Mose Linscott, Carl Shumway, Bill Davis, Bart Shepard and Bill Towler from New York attended. Obituary notice will appear in this or subsequent issues of the MAGAZINE.

Carl and Frances Shumway spent a couple of days in Hanover in February—over the 12th —at the Hanover Inn, and "got a pile of skiing including 14 rides on the tow at Oak Hill." Since his service at So. Weymouth, Mass., the Lieutenant Commander has been Assistant Commander, Northern Air Patrol (now Northern Air Group) on the U.S.S. Concrete 150 Causeway St., Boston and the "work is most interesting on this side of the water but I will be disappointed if I do not get into foreign service. Keep that job as night-watchman open for me for my business has gone to the four winds since I was called back into the service."

THE ONE IN UNIFORM is Lt. Comdr. Carl Shumway ' 13, posing with Peter (12), Nancy (11), hausfrau Frances, baby Lorna (1 ), and the meat hound.
