1911

There are lots and lots of you gents that haven't indicated your plans for Reunion. Won't you just drop a penny postcard saying you can or cannot be there, so that it will at least make it easier for those of us who are trying to make plans to know how many will be there and also may avoid our writing letters to you individually urging you to be present. A few more affirmations have come in; for instance, Burt Cooper writes, "Lillian and I were highly elated on reading the issue of the MAGAZINE telling of class reunion plans at Frank Dodge's. We expect to be there."

Cap Hedges says, "Count on us to be present next summer, whether May, June, or July, at the Mountain View House, Hanover, or wherever 1911 decides to hold the 35th Reunion. Both David and Sam are out of the Navy. Dick is still in the Army in Germany. Fred graduates at the University of lowa in January."

From Bob Barstow comes: "Dottie and I were delighted to hear of the 1911 reunion scheduled for next June, and are definitely planning to be present. If Paul gets back from Germany by then, we will hope to have him with us also. He has had the good fortune to have one term at Oxford on a G.I. scholarship."

Fred Harvey and Spim Norris both write approximately the same, saying, "Be seeing you in Whitefield in June."

Incidentally, if you would like to see our class notes column headed with a picture occasionally, you are invited to send copies to the secretary. The requirement is that the picture must contain at least one classmate; also, of course, any groups of members of the class would be of particular interest to us all.

If you would like to have a new directory this spring giving at least up-to-date addresses and special data on all of us, will you kindly return the questionnaires which you should have received long before this? If you didn't, we will be glad to forward one to you.

From Rollie Hastings with address at Route 1, Box 44, Calistoga, Calif., we get this information: "We have sold our Ranch and have moved up here to be near Rollie and the grandchildren. Hope to build this summer if we can get the material and labor. Sorry but we cannot make the Reunion and gosh how we are going to miss it."

Jack Russell is still in Washington with the Department of Commerce but is hoping to be back in New York by the middle of this month.

In the January 5th copy of the SaturdayEvening Post there is a most interesting and well written article entitled "We Captured Hermann Goering." This was written by Captain Harold L. Bond, Doc's son, who had a most miraculous war experience and who received many citations.

Burt Cooper has written: "You may be interested to know that Dick writes he is hoping to leave Japan on or about the 20th. His experiences since he arrived in Japan around October 15 and the latter part as the officer in charge of Naval Intelligence at the Yokasuki Naval Base have been very interesting. Among them I suppose the finding of the million and a quarter of silver bullion, reported some two or three weeks ago in the Sunday Globe by the special correspondent, was one of the interesting moments of his command."

Dave Heald's son, David, has, as you mayhave noticed elsewhere in the MAGAZINE, been appointed Assistant Manager of the Hanover Inn.

After thirty-eight long years Rolfe W. Bond has sent word that he would like to hear from his classmates and gives us his address: Ward 5700, Los Angeles County General Hospital, Los Angeles, California. Hope that the Los Angeles boys will make note of this and try to get in touch with him. I'm sure we'll all be glad to hear about him.

Franklin Dudley has moved to Hackettstown, N. J. where he is living at 124 Washington St.

New addresses have come in from Rev. Charles A. Forbes, 980 Memorial Drive, Cambridge 38, Mass.; and Col. Frank O. Robinson, 112 Pinckney St!, Boston, Mass.

A message from the Fred Eatons: "We sure are looking forward to June when we all meet at Whitefield. All three of the boys are home and out of service. Fred Jr. goes with American Air Lines in January. John and Austin enter Dartmouth in March."
