1911
The next important date for the class of 1911 is June 17, 1949, at which time it is hoped that a large number of classmates and wives will gather to enjoy another informal reunion at the Mountain View House at Whitefield. Mary Dodge is looking forward to having Frank's classmates help her reopen the hotel next June. She writes, "I am most anxious to have the Dartmouth 'Eleveners' up here in June for an informal reunion." I can assure you that this hope of Mary's is a very real one, and that not only does she very much want as many classmates as possible to be there, but is going to be much disappointed if that does not happen. She and Schuyler are most sincere in wanting Frank's class to continue to feel that his home is the class's foster home. She will be able to accommodate as many of the class as can attend through the succeeding ten-day period. She would appreciate hearing as soon as possible if you are going so that she may assure you of reservations. The arrangement of terms will be approximately as of last year. Accordingly, write at once for reservations and rates, and let's plan to be with Mary on the opening of her hotel next June.
The news about Schuyler Dodge is that he is this winter assisting Don Church, whom you will all remember as Frank's manager, at the beautiful hotel in Bellair, Fla. He has bought the old farm house just below his father's home on the other side of the road, is going to remodel it so that it will be a home for him and his bride next June near the family center. In March, Mary, who has been carrying on the business of the hotel during the winter, will fly to Florida with John and Mary Alice for a short vacation with Schuyler in Bellair.
