1900
Once again, most unfortunately, it has become the duty of the secretary to contribute to the obituary column of the MAGAZINE in recording in this issue the sudden death of Ted Gate. Liked and respected as an undergraduate, in later life he justified the promise of college days by occupying for many years a responsible position in the engineering profession. Geographically so separated from the greater number of the class as to make attendance at our gatherings somewhat inconvenient, he always made it a point to be present at the 5-year reunions—the last being that in 1945 at North Sutton. At that time he was apparently in excellent health; very much the Ted Cate of undergraduate days. His work during the war years has been large in quantity and exacting in its nature; the strain under which he lived may well have contributed to his death. We shall miss him much in our future meetings.
Lynda Redington and her husband's son, John, have contributed to the memory of the late John Redington a distinguished heirloom: the tall clock which has been in the possession of the Redington family for several generations. Suitably inscribed it has been placed in the 1900 Outing Club House, to join the collection of lithographs of birds contributed by John himself, and the pelt of the enormous Kodiak bear, given by Paul. A picture of John has finally been secured by the secretary and appears in this issue.
The Alumni Records office notifies the secretary of the following changes of address: Arthur B. Hayden is now to be reached at 31 Lowell Street, Woburn, Mass., and John F. Moody at Box 603, Kecaughton, Va. Bill Moulton has also been located at 109 Walnut Street, Newtonville 60, Mass.
The annual holiday letter of the secretary brought a response which was gratifying although short of the desired 100%. News selected from these letters follows.
Cut Tierrell on January 1 retired from his position with the United Shoe Machinery Company of Canada, an organization which he has served for 44 years. He will continue to live in Montreal. His daughter is married to an economist in the Foreign Investment Department of the Sun Life Assurance Company and has one child. His son, Donald, formerly captain of the ski team of McGill University, is employed by Shawinigan Chemicals. Len Tuttle is to retire from Wellington Sears on March 31. He reports that the heart difficulty under which he has suffered is measurably relieved. Frank Howe, due to retire from his work with the Fitchburg High School at the end of the school year, was asked to remain until December 20, when he reached the age of 70. He plans to make his headquarters at Fitchburg, possibly going southward for a part of the winter season, and certainly spending the sum- mer at his country place in Vermont. He also expects to do some tutoring. Clarence Paddock continues his work at the Wentworth Institute. His family now is made up of four children and eight grandchildren. A year ago he had the unique experience of having his children and his seven (as they then were) grand- children, all the latter being under five years of age, at his home at one time. Pete and Mrs. Fletcher spent part of the summer on a trip by bus to Oshkosh, Wis., to attend the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Oshkosh State Teachers College which Pete so long served as a leader. He reports as activities: renting two summer cottages, taking overnight guests, running a big garden; otherwise Pete is "retired." George Tong says that no change has occurred in the routine of his medical practice, but during the summer he and Mrs. Tong visit their daughter, who is married to an employee of the Forest Service now located in Idaho. Herbie Trull, relieved of the care of his large farm property in Tewksbury where he has lived all his life, is enjoying the leisure of apartment life in Andover, Mass. Harry and Mrs. Marshall, now in Florida, visited their two sons on the Pacific Coast during the fall. He reports the birth of another granddaughter in October, the child of his son Ed (D. C. 1934).
AS A MEMORIAL to the late John Chase Redington 'OO (above) his family has presented to the Dartmouth Outing Club House a grandfather clock, a Redington family heirloom for generations.
