1923
Outstanding among our Christmas cards is an attractive folder entitled, "Bah Gosh, Noel She's Cum Again!" Inside is a clever greeting, Canuck-style, from Go, Lib and Skip Blissand a picture of as charming an old colonial house as you'll find throughout the length and breadth of New England. Part of the Canuck rhyme recounts some of the pleasures and pains Go and his family have had in fixing it up. At Polpis Harbor on Nantucket, Mass., the house, guest house and barns are decked with ivy, and surrounded by huge trees and a clean white picket fence, and the sight of it makes you a bit envious and more than a little puzzled at why you're batting your brains out midst the madding crowd. A word of warning, though: Go says, "If you should come and visit us, we surely hope you will, just bring old clothes, feel good and strong and plan to work your bill." (Well, on second thought, maybe we'll go back to the office tomorrow after all.)
The day after Christmas the Dartmouth Club of Worcester, Mass., held its annual Fellowship Luncheon which brought out Ike Coulter and his son (D '51), George Mason, Ralph Duffy and his son (D '50), Sherm Baldwin and his son (D '50). To drag in a play on words by the neck, our spelling gets confused as to whether Sherm, who's a textile tycoon, is the worsted man from Worcester or the worcested man from Worster. Anyway, here's an especially happy New Year to him for being such an unfailing correspondent!
Speaking of George Mason, we hear he isnow a partner in the Worcester law firm ofVaughan, Esty, Clark and Crotty, and hastaught in one of the nearby law schools.You'll remember that George was a memberof the Debating Team.
More good news in the business department!Fitz Gordon has been admitted to partnershipin the firm of Tucker, Anthony & Co., stockbrokers, of New York. A swell start for 1947,Fitz.
George Behringer isn't allowed to see visitors, but he'd certainly enjoy a cheerful lineor two from you. George is very ill at Polyclinic Hospital, 345 West 50th St., New York.
