1904

The first five classes of the century, 01-02-03-04-05, enjoyed their Annual Get-together in Boston Friday evening, May 11, (other columns in this number have the story). Our participants were Lampee, Hobbs, Mower, Rolfe, Maguire, Bullock, Charron, Woods, Sexton, Leddy, Sanderson, Brackett, Kneeland, Manning, Manguerian, Bolster, Austin. Tinker Gale planned to attend but the evening of May 10 brought Jackson, N. H., insurmountable trouble in the form of a real blizzard, leaving in its wake 20-inches of snow badly drifted, telephone and telegraph wires all down and the early morning train hours enough late to prevent Boston arrival in time for the evening's fun. This, by the way, was a fair sample of conditions Friday morning in northern Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, "Gan't come—Sorry—Regards to all attending" were the words from Roby, Sanborn, Whittemore, Robinson, Parker, McKennis, Woodbridge, Logan, Johnson, Hinman, Sturtevant, Hall, Fletcher, Loekwood, Edgerky, Drew, Brotherhood, Callman, Davis, Fellows, Boyle, Fiske, Brewer, Hastings, Ames, Maynard, Wylie, Turner, Blanchard, Tubbs, Favour, Pierce, Herman, Cobb, Bartlett, Chase, Holton, Rollins, Levrone, Slayton, Willard, Streeter, Uniac, Webster, Brennan.

Jack Sanderson, roving seamen's friend with hotels all oyer the American coasts for U. S. A. sailors and headquarters in New York, was our long distance visitor, but Charlie Leddy, the only man in the group with the back of his vest in front, celebrated by attending his first reunion since 1904. Sanderson brought the good news that some weeks ago he spent an enjoyable evening in New Orleans with Gobbo Blair.

News from all the class group was generally good with the exception of Earl Brennan who for some weeks has been hospitalized in Lowell, Mass., with a difficult heart ailment.

It is a pleasure to report as a result of this gathering an exchange of ideas with 62 members of the Class whose cards and letters were circulated at the 1904 table. Bartlett, Streeter, Cobb, Boyle, Favour, Willard mentioned sons, sons-in-law and daughters making good service records and carrying on safely on all our Fronts. Brewers were enjoying furlough visits from their daughters, Sally and Ruth of the Marines. Logan, usually making a business trip when reunions occur, got away this time and the notice caught up with him in Dallas, Tex. He sent greetings to everyone. Favour was hospitalized for the month of April as a result of stomach ulcers, but has returned home much improved. A 1 Hastings job in North Carolina is finished and he is now similarly employed by the State of Kentucky. Peacham, Li, and Jig had a pre-reunion luncheon in Chicago on the ninth of May.

Hugh Blair's son, Lt.-Col. Arthur Blair, West Point '32, was killed in action on the German front Christmas day. Our sympathy, love and respect go to the Blairs in unstinted measure.
