Upper Pinellas County

Pinellas County, Florida, is noted for its grapefruit, both the fruit and spring baseball—St. Pete—its record for being the only county in Florida to go Republican in 1948 —and for the Dartmouth Winchesters of Dunedin.

These Winchesters, Dr. Harold '10 and Walter '41, are the enviable combination of father and son practicing together. Able and eminent in their field, they take time out to be good Dartmouth alumni, too.

In late March they invited Dartmouth men of the area to a social gathering and buffet dinner, repetition of a very successful event in March 1949—being assisted by Mrs. Harold Winchester, a delightful lady in her own right.

After preprandial exercises (presided over by Dr. Walter) and a delicious dinner, HapHinman '10 showed colored slides of New England autumn foliage and Florida scenes and wild life taken by Charles A. Proctor '00, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, and himself.

After the colored show, the noted sports writer and radio commentator, Bill Cunningham '19, in his customary rare form, entertained informally the group for a couple of hours with tales and historic lore from the field of sports, covering a lot of territory from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian line, also paying high tribute to Ernest M.Hopkins, President Emeritus, and JohnDickey, President.

Present were Robert Ebbs '93, Steve Chase '96, Fred Lord, Es Crowley and Mel Smith, all '98, Charles A. Proctor '00, Harold Rugg '06, Walter Harriman '08, Howard Hilton '08, Hap Hinman '10, Jerome Lincoln '12, Paul Smith '14, Emerson Morse '18, Bill Cunningham '19, Chick Hopkins '22, Dr. Robert Wolff M' 27, Frederick Chase '30, Howard Hilton Jr. '48, Jim Saurman '53, and Norman Arnold, Professor of Biology, who was spring vacationing in the South with Harold Rugg.'
