1911
Mary and Schuyler Dodge officialy closed the Mountain View House on October 19, following the biggest year in its history. You will be pleased and interested to know that the Dodge management—now Mary and Schuyler will continue to operate the hotel just as Frank would have them do. Mary's wish in connection with the class of 1911 is that we all continue the reunions which we have hitherto enjoyed at the Mountain View. She says that not only do she and Schuyler want us to continue the habit, but that she will be greatly disappointed if we do not. Accordingly, you are given due notice that she would like very much to have us plan another informal reunion for next June if there are any classmates who so desire. She also wants us to plan on Whitefield in addition to our regular reunion at Hanover in June, 1951.
