1886

I send a Christmas picture of Pete Richmond in his study. I hope this gets a double column spread in the February MAGAZINE, which is what Biff says it ought to have. Billie, also, says, "A mighty good picture. I have sat before that fireplace many times."

On December 16, Pete became a great grandpa. We all remember his granddaughter, Eleanor Huse, who was with us during our Fiftieth Year Reunion. Now, as Eleanor Huse Kemp, she has given birth to an eight-pound, thirteen-ounce boy, Robert John Kemp.

The secretary is also a great grandpa. On Christmas Day, at his daughter Charlotte's home at Mitchell Field, Long Island, her daughter Anne, wife of a West Point man, Capt. Henry Lee Hogan III, introduced me to her three-months-old daughter, Robin Lee Hogan( who smiled at me when I spoke to her. I hope to live long enough to hear Robin sing. I love robins.

Congratulations to Winter Park, Fla.,— Billie and Genieve became legal residents there on January i, 1946. The State of Massachusetts has been so notified.

Congratulations also to Genieve who has a birthday party, January 4; and best of all, congratulations to our class, for the Newtons now tell us that they will both be with us at our 60th Year Reunion in Hanover, June 27 and 28. Although now citizens of Florida, they will spend a part of June with a new friend who has a home in Fryeburg, Maine, from which home they can come to Hanover, with Pete and Eleanor, Biff and Lillian, Billie and Genieve, Mrs. Snow, and all the others of 1886' who can be with us. We shall have many intimate conversations with each other during our two Reunion days. Also, as we all sit together at the table during our class dinner, we shall share many sacred memories of those who have gone on. Among those so remembered will be our "Scribe" who died December 10, 1945. See In Memoriam in this issue for what Mrs. Quimby wrote about her husband, and for Quimby's last spoken message to his classmates.

A FIRESIDE POSE by Dr. Allen Pierce Richmond '86 of Hingham, Mass., who became a great-grandfather on December 16. The picture was used by the Richmonds to convey Christmas greetings to friends.
