At Boston Dinner were Beezel Parker, Art Lord, Win Nay, Charlie Fay, Bones Jones, Ray Gorton, Else Jenness, Ed Shattuck, Slip Powers, Hal Sprague, George Underwood, Shing Sherwin, Jess Wilson, Keith Pevear, a goodly delegation in its own right.
' Andy Scarlett, 1910's representative on the Alumni Council, went to Chicago for the winter meeting, met lots of Tenners, had a grand time (Bertha chaperoned him). At the Chicago Dinner were Paul Albert, Don Bryant and wife, Dick Hursh, Easty, Lew Williams, Mac Kendall and wife, Shorty Worcester and wife, Andy, Bertha and Cap Hedges who still is a Tenner in many capacities according to all reports, the Chicago alumni did one of their outstanding jobs in entertainment, and they're good as we can testify from personal experience. Easty stayed over a day or so to enjoy one of his bird walks.
Malcolm Bissell, recently retired collegeprofessor, who left us to graduate from Yale,writes interestingly to Sid Bull'.
From my freshman year I remember particularly well Harry Beat, Chuck Crawford, Heinie Barren,Guy Carpenter, Ken Phelps, Spud Ptshon, CliffLyon, Maurice Eastman, Nate Sherman and some others. I met Eck Hiestand in Los Angeles a few years ago. Since I left Hanover in June, 1907, have been back only twice—once in 1908 when college was in session and once in the summer of 1923 when I drove through the town. I've never run across any 1910 men excepting Eck Hiestand but I read the Alumni Notes with much interest. I'd like to get back to a Reunion and think that I'll try to make the 40th. There isn't much time left!
I hope that I have better luck than you've had with your fruit orchard. I'm not likely to be frozen out, anyway, although at present it is plenty cold here. A freeze in the spring is almost unheard of, especially on our hillside location. I have about 10 acres of prunes, some 50 peach trees, a dozen apple trees and a few other fruits for family use. However, I didn't come out here to go into the fruit business. I just wanted to live in the country, and we liked this location so much that we took the fruit ranch with it. I hope to do some research work but so far have done practically nothing but work around the place. No doubt, it s good for my health, and I like it. We're 75 miles north of San Francisco and 5 miles from Calistoga, on the Healdsburg road. I'll never go back to city life again!
Johnny Finn, Dartmouth's Great Trombone Player, is still teaching shorthand and typing in Dickinson (N. J.) High School, will be retiring in a few years, toots the old trombone, but plays the piano and violin for relaxation. It would be grand to have John at our 1950 Reunion.
Jim and Louise MacPherson have been vacationing in New Orleans, Mexico City and California while the barrister of the family attended directors' meetings of Republic Pictures and appeared as special counsel before California Utilities Commission.
Bill Taylor, than whom there is no better helper for a class secretary, and a truly grand fellow to boot, writes:
Howard Fogg was in town Sunday.... he is as chipper as ever had seen Paul Albert and MacKendall in Chicago. Whit Eastman and Ken Phelps were out studying winter birds yesterday. I ran into Ken at lunch today. Harold Judd came to town today from Cloquet via Duluth. He is busy remodelling a house, and looking after contractors, and avoiding trouble with the F.H.A. keeps him busy. Juddy is same as ever excepting for a few more grey hairs. He saw Shorty Worcester recently when the latter visited his son in Cloquet.
Herb Woods, Director o£ Research, International Union of Operating Engineers (AFL), is one o£ the two members representing the workers of the U. S. on the Petroleum Committee of the International Labor Organization which opened its first meeting in Los Angeles early in February, bringing together government, management and labor representatives of twelve nations to deliberate on production and marketing operations in the industry, primarily labor and social problems during reconversion, and future international cooperation on matters of social policy, including wages, hours, working conditions, housing, transportation, medical care.
Sid and Gara Bull vacationed in Hot Springs, Ark Beezle Parker is with Morton Tuttle Howard Bushway wants ChetScott's address: "I want to write to him. I remember that little cuss back in the old days when he always expressed a desire to work in the forests." Heinie Reed hopes to meet the official Dartmouth photographer some day and express his appreciation for the fine ALUMNI MAGAZINE covers, photography being his hobby Chan Baxter duck hunts with a shot gun while 9-year-old Brian gets more fun popping at 'em with an old air gun John VanderPyl's dad died recently at ripe old age of 84 Retired after 30 years in banking business Jack Richmond continues his good service as Deputy Director of U. S. Savings Bond Division at $1 per annum, with his thoughts running toward New Hampshire as "a swell place to pass our declining years when that time comes."
Andy Scarlett has been up to his neck getting organized for his Alumni Fund campaign which he has built around the Executive Committee of the class and several loyal assistants of proven worth.
Tempus is fugiting lickety-split in our lives and in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE schedulewhich has only three issues left in the current year.
