1920

Surveying the ghastly remains of New York'sheaviest snowstorm on record, we turn ourattention happily—if enviously—to the SunnySouth and the balmy shores of the Pacific.Paul Richter escaped from New England andlocated in the blue grass region just belowthe Mason-Dixon line. He wrote in Novemberfrom Carrollton, Kentucky:

"Here I am in the country of fast horses, gorgeous women and bourbon as it should be. Came down to run a fund-raising campaign for a new hospital and we are just getting into it. Drove down with Lillian and our 3-year-old son and had a delightful trip despite a few rainy days. At Meredith, N. H., through the summer I had a public relations and fund-raising program for the Franklin Hospital, so I was able to commute from our place on Lake Waukewan (25 miles).

"About the only '2O man I saw was Sam Center who is rounding out 27 years with the phone company. He saw Laddie. Myers, Htb Ktchter and Charlie Crathern in the wilds of Africa in the early days of the war. Sam has been based m Concord, N. H., but in August he had been ordered to move to Boston. I had hoped to see Norm Richardson, who is now living in Laconja, but never did cross his trail although we were only 12 miles apart."

A footnote to the above, compiled from other sources, discloses that Sam has made his business move and may now be reached at 17 Francis St., Maiden, Mass.; also that Norm, wearying a bit of a gentleman farmer s retirement, is working at the Scott & Williams textile machinery plant in Laconia.

Farthest south of the class, if we remember our geography correctly, is Charlie Youmans, back in Havana, Cuba (351 Obispo St.), where he had so many interesting experiences during the war. And just a quick plane hop to the north, at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, GeorgeLoehr is reestablished with the Metal Specialties Company after his own tour of war duty. George was released to inactive service by the Coast Guard in September, 1945, and now holds the rank of Lieutenant-Commander. His son Alan, Dartmouth frosh, wrote home that the Hanover cold isn't too tough, but the family played it smart by sending the word back to him to wait and see. Meanwhile, they had been having some hurricane weather of their own, but suffered no serious damage to either the Loehr home or business.

Flying due west with the crows, the lostand-found department picks up some entertaining items about characters who have been too infrequently mentioned in these pages. Frank Gifford, for instance, is a Christian Science practitioner, with an office in the Niels Esperson Building, Houston, Texas, and a home at 1836 Brainard St. Dick Hazen, who was out of reach for some years, has been safely located at 240 North Ist St., East, Logan, Utah. The farther west of our two BobLoomises, Robert H., checks in with an attractive-sounding place of residence, 26 Arcadia Terrace, Santa Monica, California, and a business connection, the Mutual Building Material Cos. in Beverly Hills.

Dick Kimball has been as obliging as ever in reporting the latest developments in southern California. Commander Ed Taylor, so Dick writes, "has been transferred to the Navy Shipbuilding Division at Hunters Point, San Francisco, and is living in the Officers' Quarters there. Mrs. Taylor intends to stay in Long Beach until their three daughters finish the school year (one in Scripps College, one in high school, and one in junior high)." According to Dick, Southern Cal has sustained still another loss, with Rus Cotner moving his Fibreboard Products business to the Russ Building in San Francisco. Forby Forbush, however, remains a Twenty mainstay in Los Angeles and "one o£ his daughters (to quote Kimball again) regularly knocks off honors in being chosen queen of this or that." Dick tells of a letter received from Dick Charlock, written from 335 South 13th St., San Jose, where he was visiting his sister.

With a quick change of climate we plunge into the heart of Dartmouth's own north country and come up with the happy news that Ann and AI Frey became proud grandparents (Ann's word for it is "fatuous") on November 20, with the arrival of Christopher McCutchen Harte, 8 pounds plus, son of Janet, the Class Darling. Elmer Stewart's daughter, Ruth-Marie, is also making top headlines in Hanover. She was given a grand send-off December 3, when she left to join Walter Prager's ski squad and to participate in the 1948 Olympics starting January 30, at St. Moritz, Switzerland. Ruth won her place on the team by successful competition in the Olympic Try-outs at Sun Valley, Idaho.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE. The Monroe (Mich.) Evening News ran a stunning picture of Grace Annabelle Newcomer to go with the story of her marriage December 27, to Franklin H. Bock of Monroe. The daughter of Stan and Grace married a University of Michigan veteran of four-and-a-half-years' war service, who went through high school with her in Monroe and now is starting his business career there From The Falmouth (Mass.) Enterprise of December 26:

"Mr. and Mrs. Leslie T. Willard of Southport, Conn., former summer residents of Waquoit, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Marion Yoyce Willard, to Peter Wright Duble, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Duble of Southport." Mr. Duble, a Harvard senior, served with the Army Air Force during the war.

The Boston Herald of October 31 proclaimed the election of Art Pierce, Wellesley school supt., as president of the Bouve-Boston School of Physical Education's board of trustees

The New York Daily News Record of December 5 showed Bob Farwell, treasurer of the Rhode Island section of the American Association of Textile Chemists & Colorists, snapped with his fellow officers at a recent meeting.

San Palo, now back at his Investment Advisor's business in Buffalo and living across the river in Port Colborne, Ontario, came out of the service in October, 1946, with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. His brief story on himself reads:

"In the fall of 1940 I joined the newly formed 209 th Coast Artillery Antiaircraft Regiment, NYNG, as a Captain, and went into active Federal Service in February, 1941. Then served in the European Theatre and the Philippines. Ended up in the Military Government Section in Japan."

There has been both a good break and a tragic one for the Class in recent weeks. Sam and Mrs. Stratton survived a head-on collision late in the evening of October 14, with a car which was running, apparently out of control, on the left-hand side of the road. Sara is doing "business as usual" again now in the Middlebury Ad building, and reminds us that BillTracy's son Bill Jr. is a freshman there. The sad news is that Bing Deane succumbed at Bedford, Va., December 10, to injuries suffered in an automobile accident a few days earlier.
