The Kendalls have given up their Washington residence and purchased a home in Sarasota which they occupied the first of this month. They plan to live their six months until May 1 and then six months at their home in Kennebunk Beach, Me. They are much pleased with their new winter home which faces the waterfront with all the rooms on one floor and a double garage. Oranges and grapefruit grow on their own trees. Their Sarasota address is 632 Hampton Road. Their son Bill has moved a high step up in railroad service. The following announcement was published September 20:
"At a meeting of the Executive Board of the Cl:nchfield Railroad Company held in New York City this day, Mr. W. H. Kendall was appointed General Manager, effective October 1, 1950, with headquarters at Erwin, Tenn. "Mr. Kendall will succeed Mr. C. D. Moss who asked to be relieved of his duties as General Manager because of ill health. Mr. Moss retires after 41 years of service with the Clinchfield Railroad and its predecessor companies."
The Clinchfield Railroad is jointly owned bythe Atlantic Coast Line and the Louisville andNashville railroads.
During the Summer Doc and BlancheHawkes, together with Warren and HelenKendall, went to Camden, Me., and called on Fod and Eleanor Martin, who were reported to be nicely located, though not in the best of health. Fod's spirits are excellent and he enjoys cultivating his garden in which he takes great pride.
Another great-grandson for the SecretaryBorn October 4, Keith Standish Carpenter, son of Patricia, daughter of Genevieve Gannon (Mrs. Winter Standish Read) of Hartford, Conn. Now two Gannon grandsons and three great grandsons destined for Dartmouth. In a recent article in a Battle Creek, Mich., newspaper, the Enquirer News, under "Today in History" chronicling events of 50 years ago, there appeared the following item:
"Arthur E. Kimball, graduated from Dartmouth college in June, was to enter the University of Michigan to study medicine." A recent letter from Kimmie indicates that he and Emma are still going along serenely with restricted activities.
Louise Richardson, widow of Jim, who has been accustomed to spend winters in Pasadena, Calif., went there last November. Early in the year she suffered a stroke and has since been confined to a nursing home there. Her sister Carrie, who lives nearby, calls on her every day.
Edna Johnston, Bob's first wife, died in July in Washington where she had lived for many years.
Walt Woodward, elder son of Bones, was a candidate for Congress in his district and, although he made an excellent run, he lost out in the primaries. His future success in political life has been predicted.
Please send the Secretary some news. Cooperation from all is wanted to help keep our column interesting.
Good luck, good health and Thanksgiving enjoyment to all in '99.
