1902

Mirabile dictu, as Virgil or one of the old Latins used to say. wonderful to relate, I have received an unsolicited letter from a classmate. Ben Riley, who is still busy on the job, writes me a fine personal letter reminiscing about old times. 1 have told you how Ben with his generous gift to the Alumni Fund helped 1902 to make a real showing for the first time. Ben is looking forward to 1947 and I do hope we all can meet then, happily, in Hanover.

"Duke" Anguera, having retired several years ago, girded himself again and went into defense work on the engineering staff of the U. S. Rubber Cos. during the war. Now, that being caput, he has accepted a little church in New Fairfield, Conn.; a lovely community.

Harry MacKinnon moved out to La Jolla, Calif., in September 1944, and says he loves the climate of San Diego County. His son, Harry L. (Dartmouth 1934 and Cincinnati Medical 1938), enlisted after completion of his specialty (psychiatry) and was a major with the 11th Airborne, seeing action on New Guinea, Leyte and Luzon. Harry Sr. has a grandson three years old. I have one the same age, Harry, and another eight weeks old, and know how you feel.

Hats off to Roy Hatch! There is no more loyal and finer man in our class. Who would believe he could collect 238% of our quota for the Alumni Fund? He did it. Ray wishes me to express especial thanks to Frank Drake, Percy Dorr, Arba Irvin and Amos Fitzgerald for the grand help they gave him.
