1919

Early fall visitors at the Inn included Billand Doris Cunningham, San Treat from Los Angeles, and Louis and Mrs. Haerle from Zionville, Ind. When the full list is available, let's hope that lots of 'igers paid a visit to Hanover when the New Hampshire countryside is at its best.

Jack Clark of Concord, Mass., writes that he is going on "trying to run my small general (insurance) agency; hoping that I will be able to retire before the state and the government have finally found a way to take over our business." Jack reports that he misses his one real relaxation, the University Glee Club of N. Y., but has located a group in Boston who likes to sing, and 19's leading songster is right in there pitching.

Dr. E. Willis Hainlen has been appointed director of the Broadacres Sanatorium in Utica, N. Y. Broadacres is one of the seven tuberculosis hospitals operated by the state. Willis is a fellow of the American College of Chest Physicians, and since graduation from McGill Medical School, has devoted his career to this most important work.

From Brooklyn, Hal Parsons notes that "things are humming around our house .... this being the father of the bride is something." Chet Gale, partner in Trubee, Collins and Cos. in Buffalo, members of the N. Y. Stock Exchange, acknowledges his birthday greetings from the class and states, "Emily and I are heading for the Michigan Pow-Wow and I am hoping some of you fellows from the seaboard will be there." Chet sent in a picture of his fellow broker, Walt Cooper, of F. S. Smithers & Cos., New York, taken, apparently, at an outing of Exchange members. From his picture, Walt seems to be getting younger all the time—how about passing the formula along, Walter? Another broker and/or investment banker in the class is Chuck Eaton, associated with Shields and Cos. in their Boston office. Chuck writes, referring to the annual birthday greetings from the class, "Each year that I receive one I always promise that I will write and thank the secretary, and somehow never get around to it; so in this particular instance consider yourself receiving an accumulated bundle of thanks extending over some time. Really think it is a grand idea."

Robert N. (Nock) Wallis, assistant treasurer of the Dennison Mfg. Cos. of Framingham, Mass., was recently elected a vice-president and director of the Controllers Institute of America.

A slightly belated report on Norm Weaverindicates that he has moved from Dayton, 0.,to San Francisco and it would seem that hemade the move the hard way. Quoting, Theold Nash failed in the master brake cylinderin Chicago, a piston broke and required arebore job in Grand Island, Neb. Ran into ahurricane at Cedar Rapids which blew downtrees and silos. Floods at Omaha swept busesand cars off the road. All was well when Ireached Denver so I stayed at a lodge ontop of Bertherid Pass for skiing, 11,375 feetup. Then to Salt Lake City, Reno and finallyover the Donner Pass into the San JoaquinValley, temperature 1 io° in a parked car atSacramento." Some trip, Norm, and goodluck in your new work in S. F.

Ralph Meader of Alexandria, Va., is probably the champion long distance commuterof the class. Ralph is vice-president of Engineering Research Associates with laboratoriesin Arlington, Va., and their manufacturingplant in St. Paul, Minn. He spends his timebetween the two plants, which is quite acommute. Ralph's son Bruce is a secondclassman at the Naval Academy, his other boy,Malcolm, wants to go there also, and his stepson attended the University of Kansas.

Lou and Harriet Munro spent two weeks in Maine during the summer with Tom andClaire Bresnahan and report "a fine time and a good rest as a result of Tom and Claire's generous hospitality."

From Fort Atkinson, Wis., comes a note from Bill Hoard, publisher of Hoard's Dairyman, the National Dairy Farm magazine, founded in 1885. Bill says that, "It is mighty enjoyable to sit here and again look at this birthday card and recall the many, many pleasant memories that are always associated with the members of the '19 class."

Al Rayner of West Hartford, Conn., further reports that he has joined the long list of '19 grandfathers with the birth of Nancy, daughter of Donald M. and Norma Irish Rayner of Manchester, Conn. Al's older son William was graduated from Yale last year as a Chemical Engineer and is now employed by the Factory Insurance Association of Hartford, Conn.

The squire of Ruxton, Md., Bill Grant, seems to be in good fettle and states that it is "a long way back to the pea green freshmen of 1915, but the pleasant memories are still fresh and the greetings mighty welcome."

Freddie Dalch, president of the Schuylkill Paper Cos. of Philadelphia, hopes to see some of the gang during the football season—Jane and Fred usually make some of the games.
