1900

In his work for the Forest Reserve Appraisal John Redington travels extensively, and, incidentally, makes it a point to look up 1900 men in his wanderings. A recent letter from him tells of meeting a number of men in Boston—Clarence McDavitt, working too hard, Walter Rankin, a bit pessimistic over national affairs, both busy in work for the class, Chels Atwood in a reminiscent vein. In Dover he saw John Mathes in his beautiful home, now assisted in his lumber business by his son and worrying somewhat at the forest depletion of the region. In Waterville, Nat Barrows, still able to put up a good steak dinner at his Hotel Elmwood, conducted John over his mill, showing its amazing production of woolens for soldiers' and citizens' clothes. While in Portland John made connections with the annual Dartmouth dinner, hearing President Hopkins' story of the College in war times. He was also able to talk to Skillin over the telephone. In Pittsburg he found Ted Cate extremely busy with the expanding work of his engineering firm in erecting defense plants, paper and pulp mills, etc. Ted's son, a lieutenant in the Army, is now serving in England.

Baron Mahoney's son John has recently been promoted to a first lieutenancy. For a year he has been a member of the Office of Public Relations at Teheran, Iran, with duties that have taken him from Cairo to Bagdad and from the Persian Gulf to the Russian border. Among other assignments, at the three power conference at Teheran he was aide to Averill Harriman, Ambassador to Russia; he traveled through the Persian Gulf Command with the five senators who visited that region and was on the staff assigned to Secretary Hull upon his visit to Iran.

Mary Long, one of eight women in a class of three hundred to graduate from the General Staff School at Leavenworth, is now in command of three hundred and sixty Air Wacs, overseas.

In a recent article in The Magnificat, a Catholic monthly published by the Sisters of Mercy in Manchester, a high tribute is paid to Dr. Charles H. Dolloff for his management of the New Hampshire State Hospital.

Jonakowski reports that his winter in Florida has been largely devoted to fishing, with a resulting tan which arouses suspicion on the part o£ the sensitive Southerners when he takes his place in the section reserved for whites in the various means of transportation. He now plans to make Florida his permanent home, both in winter and in summer.

Since the above notes were sent to the Editor the sad news has been received of the death of the Vice President of the Class, Joseph Wentworth, which occurred at the Palmer Memorial Hospital, Boston, on April 7. A more extended notice will appear in the June issue.
