1903
Harold D. King spent the summer in Ohio
to avoid the hot weather of Orlando, Fla., and then returned in time for the hurricane. Doubtless our Commissioner of Lighthouses, retired, who has traveled wherever ships sail, felt the call of the wild when the old Atlantic stirred itself. Here's hoping 805 East Kaley Ave. was unscathed.
Leigh Kimball (Kimmie) writes that his retirement from his professorship at Rutgers University took effect July 1, 1947. During the summer he built a home for a veteran and thus avoided appreciation of his changed status, but this fall he feels that he will realize just how old Dobbin felt when put out to pasture.
B. W. Matteson of the Public Roads Administration, Div. 9, covering the states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming, came east the middle of September, attended a meeting of the American Association of State Highway Officials in New York and reuned with Harold Hess on the side.
Application has been received from HaroldRopes for membership in the Snow-shoveling Club of 1903, founded last winter by NatBatchelder and Fred Baker. Accompanying the application were snap-shots taken during the winter of 1946 around Watertown, N. Y., to prove Howard's qualifications. Word has been sent him that there is some doubt of the acceptance of his application because in the pictures he is either leaning heavily on the shovel or riding an immense snow-plough which piles the snow 11 feet deep over the sidewalks. This is just the act of which Nat and Fred complain so bitterly. The pictures are most interesting and will be forwarded to headquarters of the club for inspection. They may spur the membership to even greater exertion with resultant backache.
Harold M. Morse has a new home address of 3334 Prospect Ave., Cleveland 15, Ohio.
It was my good fortune while on vacation to fraternize with Vic and Florence Cutter,Orvil and Amy Smith, and Ernest and ElaineBrown. A ride over to New London in quest of Dad Walther proved fruitless, for Dad had left his summer home for New Jersey.
