1910
The deep sympathy of the Class and a host of Dartmouth friends goes to Harold P. Jackson and family in the loss of his older and last remaining son, Charles, who met death in an automobile accident near Washington, Ind., on April 12. Pineo's younger son, Ralph, was killed in a traffic accident near his home in Montclair, N. J. last June.
The loss of a man's only two sons within such a short space of each other is putting a sizable test on anyone but we all know that Pineo has what it takes to ride this through.
Through Reunions the Class knew both Charles and Ralph rather well as both were always favorites with reuning Tenners—they were a couple of fine lads and are reunited again in Heaven while their memories will always linger with us who are left on this earth.
Andy Scarlett, our hard-working Class Agent, has a tough assignment in raising the Class Quota of $9,000 for the Alumni Fund this spring—but with his consistent plugging and some careful consideration from his classmates, he can strike a very respectable total.
Earle Pierce who faced certain death from cancer of the throat two years ago and submitted to a sensitive operation even though it meant loss of speech, rises to high stature in his efforts in behalf of cancer work. As one of the relatively few persons who have survived a throat cancer operation and learned to talk again, despite loss of vocal cords, Earle has been making speeches in the Massachusetts drive for funds for the American Cancer Society campaign. Newspapers have carried some nice things about him.
Marion and I arrived home from Florida the middle of April—found everything O.K. in quite definite contrast from a year ago when oil burner trouble had filled the house and everything in it with a coating of oily soot compelling a complete overhauling from attic to basement—and it's nice to be back.
Walter and Isabel Norton remained in Clearwater a couple of days after we left—then flew to N. Y.—despite our advice for him to take it easy with that Old Florida Sol, he got himsel' messed up and really was sick for a few days—however, Walter, Isabel, Marion and I had some grand visits, saw a lot of baseball, did some sightseeing, too—l haven't seen so much of Walter since Senior Year when we really did see each other—and it's pretty good testimony that we picked up many threads of friendship where we left them 39 years agoagain, those Nortons are a high class outfit. We have a date for a repeat next winter.
Micky Holmes' two sons, Steve and Bill, are associated with him in the family oil business at Newark. "Last October," Micky writes, "we were presented with two grandsons within 24 hours of each other—so we now have 5 grandchildren, all living closeby. Grandma Hazel is plenty busy. My daughter Betsy, a few months after graduating from high school, made the 'Oklahoma' company which went to London. She stayed there 15 months except for flying back here with one of the singers in the company, Robert Patterson, to be married at home. They have one of the grandsons and now live near us."
Chuck Crawford, has a new address, 3176 North 49th St., Milwaukee—Burt Miller plans to bring his new bride to our 40th next year-Charlie Fay and wife, Bill Woolner and wife stayed at Hanover Inn in Feb. while visiting their undergraduate sons—Herb Wolf's son Dick '5O, was roommate of Ray Cirrotta, the lad who died in the unfortunate winter tragedy—Dixi Crosby, a docile teacher in civilian life, fought in War I, fought in War II (Major, in So. Pacific artillery), is keeping himself fit for War 111 but muses, "Maybe, I'll be too darned old unless it comes soonanyway, I am looking forward to seeing the Old Gang of ours in 1950."
Frank Brady Jr. just won a Dartmouth graduate fellowship for next year—winning what is known as the James B. Richardson Fellowship. Young "King" will continue his study of English literature at Yale Graduate School—while in Hanover he was senior editor of The Dartmouth and a member of Phi Beta Kappa— "King" No. i and wife certainly deserve a sizable amount of credit for raising and educating as smart a family of youngsters as you'll find in a long time.
Mac Kendall is coming on from Chicago to see son Bob graduate from Dartmouth in June while his brother Warren is there for his Fiftieth (we ran across Warren on the street in Hanover this week and he looked surprisingly well in retirement after his illness)-son Dave gets married in Brunswick, N. J. while Mac and family are east.
Minneapolis Sunday Tribune in double column feature ran a picture of 1910's famed "Dr. Richard M. Elliott, psychology professor, University of Minnesota" under head "Look-Alikes?" in contrast with American Gothic Farmer in the Painting by Grant Woodaside from a similarity through bespectacled eyes, and forehead, everything stopped there.
Judging from letters and postals received, the recent Tenner Topics met with a reception that would warrant another—so when you lads send in enough personal items, newsy letters about yourselves, your families and other Tenners, we'll pound out another issue.
