1911

Notice has just been received of the death of Frank Rose last November in New Haven. It was my pleasure to call on Frank and Mrs. Rose at their home in Madison a number of years ago, at which time Frank had been forced to give up his regular occupation because of his health, but was carrying on valiantly in helping Mrs. Rose, who is an extremely able teacher, conduct a private school for boys.

A recent Washington visitor was Bill Hart, looking in the pink and here in the interest of the Crown Cork and Seal Company, as you might expect. He reported his family well and healthy. While with Louise at Pinehurst, he met up with Art Jackson, who also was seeking a bit of vacation away from his practice in Everett. Bill says he sees few Dartmouth men and is looking forward to the time when the ban on travel is lifted so that he can get back into the States more often.

Sticky Pendleton's brother reports that Sticky is operating a post exchange at the Army air base in Blythe, Calif.

Gabe Farrell was called to Washington for consultation on aid to the war-blinded. He has been concerned with a monthly survey which has been made under the auspices of Hygeia. His older boy, Gabe Farrell Jr., is still in Air Corps training, and Bill, the younger boy, is in the Navy at Brown University.

Bill Gooding jumps into the grandfather class in earnest. In March his daughter Sally, now Mrs. Donald Pease, presented him with a granddaughter, while on April 8 his daughter Eleanor, now Mrs. John D. Detlefsen, added a grandson, George D. Detlefsen, to the list.

Here are a few items from the latest letter from Col. Pat Patterson, to whom it is a pleasure to pass on A 1 Dickerson's Bulletins after half a dozen Dartmouth men in Washington have looked them over. Pat has been in Eng land now for something over a year, and he says it has been his good fortune to have traveled on official business in Scotland, Wales, and England, principally in the south central and southwestern parts of the latter country. He hopes to get to northern Ireland where his paternal ancestors lived in Londonderry before they left for America to come to what is now New Hampshire. He was successful in visiting Dartmouth, which he claims to have been one of his ambitions since he entered Dartmouth College. He finds the countryside of England fascinating and enclosed a list of pubs which he had taken down as he traveled around the United Kingdom which he thought might be of interest. They are, and confirm the fact that Pat must have been doing some traveling. He asked to be remembered to other members of the Class of 'll.

The following announcement has been received. NEW CITIZEN: Richard Kistler Harwood; FATHER: Capt. Hugh Harwood USA; MOTHER: Betty Butts Harwood; GRAMMIE: Libby Butts; GRAMP: Butts; April 10, 1944.

The Hanover Gazette furnishes the two notices which follow.

"Word comes from the Pacific area of the promotion of Richard Dunham from the rank of ensign to that of lieutenant (jg) following several months of active service as pilot in a Navy bombing squadron."

"Edward W. Pearson s/zc of College Street, Hanover, completed his recruit training Tuesday at the Naval Training Station, Sampson, N. Y., and was granted leave. Upon his return, he will be eligible for further assignment which may qualify him for a petty officer rating."

Perce Deshon writes: "Our younger son Bob entered the Service in February, 1943, and passed through the various grades before entering OCS in June, and getting his commission in August of 1943. George, our older son, entered the regular Army in 1938 and at this writing is en route to the Army Air Force Tactical School in Florida. From there he goes to Leavenworth for a special course at Command and General Staff School, thence to Naval War College at Newport, R. 1., and then to Army and Navy Staff School in Washington. These are all short courses o£ a few weeks each. He has been a lieutenant colonel for a little over a year and has had a battalion of Infantry during that period. His wife recently presented him with twins, Carolyn and George Ellis Jr. so we have at last joined the ranks of proud grandparents."

Dutch Whitman continues to cover New England with his institutional selling of the Encyclopedia Britannica. It is reported he looks the same as ever but is wondering what to do about his car, which is starting to fall apart after 100,000 miles of travel.

A recent "luncher out" with Stan Macomber says the two have lately been eating at the same counter at Thompson's Spa and reports that the years seem to have been kind to Stan, who gloats over his friend as he orders a rich pie for dessert, which the other has to forego because of high blood pressure and what have you.
