1911

The principal news item for this month unfortunately appears in the In Memoriam section where you will find an account of the sudden death in September of Howard Clute. A brilliant surgeon and a capital classmate he will be missed by all of us.

Those reuriers who wandered around the Mountain View and had an opportunity to admire Frank Dodge's splendid new barn will be grieved to know that it was completely destroyed by fire in August. The cause is unknown but occurred in the middle of the afternoon. All horses and stock were saved except a bull.

The long talked-of directory has been delivered to the printer and if it has not already been received, should be in your hands shortly. If you note any errors or omissions, please advise the secretary at once. It is hoped that this up-to-date list of addresses may give all of you an opportunity to welcome one another with cards or greetings, advertising notices, or allow you to give vent to any other feelings that you may have. Anyhow, it will be greatly appreciated if, as you change your address or business, you will send along the information so that once more the class list may be kept up to date and in order.

Wonders will apparently never cease. We had five men back at the 35th Reunion for the first time. During the summer another man, who has not been in Hanover since the 5th Reunion, showed up. He was Howard S. Power and with him was his delightful wife, formerly Elizabeth Berry of Barrington, N. H., and to whom he was married on September 11, 1944. Howard has ceased playing the automobile game and has now for some years been a contractor of devious things in Norwalk, Mass. He builds buildings, highways; bridges, or anything else you want. He looked in fine health, and his wife guarantees to make him walk the straight and narrow path so far as pertains to the class of 1911. She says she won't let him stray away again.

John Coggins turns up with a new address at 518 Watchung Ave., Plainfield, N. J.

John Bartlett has added to his activities as treasurer and assistant secretary of the Hooker Electrical Chemical Company of Niagara Falls, by buying a large farm, the principal product of which is grapes. In fact, it is reported it was the activities of this grape farm that kept John from joining us at Reunion.

Dave Heald has moved to 3 Valley Road, Lexington, Mass.

On October 4, Allan Thorpe Wheeler Jr. was married to Phyllis Amy Crommett in Weston, Mass.

Al Hormel is still with the War Assets Administration, R.F.C., and may be addressed at Annex 2, Washington, D. C.

Dairy-man Agry has been able to continue the life of the commuting farmer and finally has arranged for the care of his herd during the winter, so he still will continue in the dairy busines. His son, Warren Jr., has reentered the Tuck School to complete his graduate work. This follows his discharge from the Merchant Marine.

Another 1911 son to enter Tuck as a first year man this fall is Ken Clark's son, Marshall. At the same time Ken Jr. entered Dartmouth as a freshman Dick Whelden has taken up residence at Montrose, N. Y.

Don Cheney on August 15 resigned as Field Director of the American Red Cross to be- come Special Assistant to the President of Rollins College, Dr. Hamilton Holt, as head of the Public Relations Department. Don writes:

Our June Reunion was one of the high spots of my young life—as I am sure it was with all of those who were there—and I wouldn't have missed the experience for anything in the world. I don't know when I will get back north but I hope to see some of the boys who might be coming to Florida this winter. My home address remains the same, as I live only four miles from the college campus, and the latch string will always be out to visiting firemen.

Cliff Cuddy located in Charlotte, N. C., lives at 2500 Sharon Road.

The latest news on Bob Keeler is that he is now back at Cincinnati, Ohio, living at Hotel Sinton, 4th & Vine Streets.

Leo Caproni Jr. has returned to college to complete his course interrupted by his military service. Also an announcement has appeared that M. Carr Wilson, Mert's oldest son, has joined the faculty as an assistant in Chemistry. Since College was just opening at the time these notes were prepared there has been no opportunity to check on other 1911 sons in college, but further report will be made next time.

John J. McDonald, who was kept from Reunion by a serious attack of stomach ulcers, has now completely recovered his health and is continuing his law practice in handling Mexican claims in Washington, and on the side giving a class in International Law at Catholic University. His son Jack has recently enlisted in the Army and is now taking his basic training at Ft. Bragg, N. C.
