1906

Probably no member of the class has experienced greater sorrow during this war than Olive and Bob Blood. The loss of Nickerson on January 31, 1943, was a tragedy but the death in action of Rogers on February 18, 1944, in the attack on Eniwetok Island must have been a terribly hard blow to take. I am sure I bespeak for all the class our deepest sympathy. The record of both of the boys was excellent, and it must be some comfort to Olive and Bob to know that Rogers had been promoted to first lieutenant shortly before his death.

Gus Ayers reports that Tom is a first lieutenant, Coast Artillery Anti Air Craft in the Aleutians, and Ben a private (cadet training) in the Army Air Corps.

After thirty-three years in a mining camp in Chile, Bob and Yolande Richardson have pulled up stakes and for the next few months will be staying in New York City. He can be reached in care of the Braden Copper Co., 120 Broadway. While it must be hard to leave one's life work, Bob can be proud of what he has accomplished. From practically nothing to a staff of 123, 11 doctors, a 135-bed hospital, the best equipped in Chile, means a lot of hard work and a difficult job well done.

"Eph" Smith passed away in Newport, Vermont, on April 1. For the past twenty-six years he was probate judge of Orleans County. Eph rarely missed a class reunion in Hanover or the annual dinner in Boston.

Elon Pratt rounded up the '06 boys for the alumni dinner in New York City, held at the Dartmouth Club, April 13. In addition to the local boys Dave Main planned to come on from Denver.

The class of '06's share in the Alumni Fund's campaign is up among the leaders, thanks to Nat and Harold. Those who have not yet sent in their checks should do so at once. Willis Howe's check from Guatemala, C. A., is in the bag. Is yours?
