1899
October birthday greetings to GeroulcL, Parker and Sleeper.
Another great-grandson for the Secretarya son, their second, Douglas Read Carpenter, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Roy Carpenter of Hartford, Conn., August 23. Mrs. Carpenter is the former Miss Patricia Read, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Winter (Genevieve Gannon) Read of Hartford.
Twins were born to Mr. and Mrs. Newell Tucker Crolius at Boston, Mass., August 2. Newell is a son of our classmate Fred.
Warren and Mrs. Kendall spent the summer, as usual, at their home at Kennebunk Beach, Me. Now with more leisure, Warren is able to enjoy for long periods this pleasant retreat within sound of the surf. The Secretary enjoyed an exchange of visits with him during the month of July, which he spent at his near-by Ogunquit home.
When Warren retired permanently from the Association of American Railroads last March, he was presented by his fellow workers with a large sterling silver punch bowl and ladle and a dozen sterling silver cups. Engraved on the bowl is the following:
Presented to Warren Cleaveland Kendall
With the affectionate regards of his many friends Associated under his gifted leadership as Chairman Car Service Division Association of American Railroads March 1, 1949.
Ralph and Blanche Hawkes, who were unable to attend the 50th Reunion because of injuries suffered in an automobile accident in California, made a complete recovery and returned to their home at York Village, Me. in July.
Herb Rogers has again this year resumed his association with the Greater Boston Community Fund, commuting from Rockport, Mass., where he and Laura now live. Among many others, they report a very enjoyable time at the 50th.
The book presented to P. Winchester at the 50th reunion dinner contained the following inscription:
This book—JOSH THE BULL—is presented to
PHILIP HAROLD WINCHESTER
as a prize in recognition of his prowess over all other contestants in identifying a greater number of individuals and scenes of a half-century and more ago as projected on the screen at the illustrated lecture given by George Gallup Clark, '99, at the Hanover Inn Ski Hut, Hanover, N.H., June 11, 1949, as one of the features of the 50year reunion of the Class of 1899, Dartmouth College.
The Secretary attended the performance of "The Old Homestead" at the Potash Bowl, a picturesque sylvan ampitheatre at Swanzey, N.H., July 8, and was pleased to meet Daveand Mrs. Storrs there and also Charlie Dudley '01. The play was written, originally produced by, and acted in 15,000 times by Denman Thompson, a Swanzey native. It is built around characters in the community and for many years has been annually reproduced by native talent.
Please remember that the Secretary will be grateful for any news you can send him about men of '99 and their families.
