1901

Frankie Newhall is still carrying on his old job at Uniontown, Pa., but hopes to retire soon, and then to enjoy traveling about and seeing more of America. Europe does not appeal to him in the least.

From Danielson, Conn., Don Page writes that he is contented with his retirement and is enjoying the outdoor work, and the freedom from required routine. His daughter has graduated from Jackson, and is now employed in New York City with the Bank of Belgium.

It is good news to note that Hoppy has bought a house in Hanover on Rope Ferry Road, and that he and Celia will make that their home, spending the summers down in Maine. With the affairs of the College somewhat off their minds, and relieved of the cares and responsibilities of the Presidency, perhaps we shall have the very great pleasure of seeing more of them both at our class gatherings.

Bunker Bishop, we understand, has been hospitalized, but he says nothing about it in a recent communication, so we have hopes it was nothing serious. He and Pearl are happy in the news just received that son Tom had arrived home from the Pacific and that Warren was expected back in a very few days. Bob Ross '38, daughter Mary's husband, has arrived in San Francisco from Okinawa, much to their relief, as they feared he might have been in the plane wreck which occurred there recently.

John M. Denison, Lt. (jg), Navy aviator has been awarded the D.F.C. for the fourth time. He is a carrier veteran of Luzon, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa and narrowly escaped death at the last named place when he flew into intense flak, was shot down and was rescued from the -water by a flying boat.

Your Secretary met with representatives of other classes in New York recently, together with Don Cameron from the College, who presented the scheme which has been worked out for reunions in Hanover in 1946. For three successive years certain classes have not been able to reune in Hanover due to war conditions; now it appears that such events can be held there in 1946. So the College is arranging to take care of the classes that would ordinarily have reunions in '46, and also those other classes who have had to forego that pleasure. This means about six weeks of reunions and about eight classes at a time. As now arranged 1901 will hold theirs the weekend of July 26 and 87, and at the same time '98, '99, and 1900, as well as' four younger classes can hold theirs.

We are therefore, going ahead and making plans for the weekend of July 26-27, and we want you to start now to make your plans, so that you can be with us at that time. You will be promptly advised of further details as soon as they may be worked out.

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