1901

Larry Hardy writes from Peacham, that in Vermont one can get plenty of coal and plenty of Kleenex, and one is supposed to get through the winter with those and not much else.

Charlie Boyle retired January 1, 1943, because, as he states, his health was none too good. His son recently got his Wings as a fighter pilot, and his daughter has been in England for six months as a Red Cross staff assistant. She was twice in London when it was bombed, and has written Charlie a very vivid story of her experiences.

Dan Trude, who has been a delegate to the National Convention four times in the past, is again running for that office; hoping, as he says, to get a Republican nominee who can beat the New Deal candidate. Dan has been on the Bench since 1918, from 1918 to 1929 as judge in the Municipal Court in Chicago, and since 1929 as judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County.

Charlie Howe is still with the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad and is located in Richmond, Virginia. He has a very responsible position of analyzing and putting into effect modern methods of track and roadway equipment maintenance. He has five children, two girls and three boys, and all three of the boys are in the Army, one a captain in the Engineers. One son-in-law is in the Navy. He says the Dartmouth Club of Virginia has dwindled considerably due to so many men entering the Services, but there are six or eight Dartmouth men who get together once a month to keep the organization going.

A letter from Bert Closs states that in spite of the fact that he is nearly zoo years old he still goes skating and takes great delight in teaching his grandchildren how to cut eagles' wings etc. He recently retired as chairman of the Draft Board in his town, and is now fearful that the fact that he is still able to skate may result in his successor on the Draft Board classifying him in IA.

Secretary and Treasurer, 3311 16th St., N. W., Washington, D. C.
