1925
Dick Plummet transferred sophomore year to M.I.T. and has been out o£ New England ever since. He worked for Dupont in Wilmington, Del. for six years where he saw quite a bit of Bob Warren. Then he represented Dupont's subsidiary Duperal in Buenos Aires for ten years. Next came five years in Mexico City for Duperal and more recently he has had his own engineering business there.
About a month ago Dick returned to Boston on business and pleasure which resulted in a new position—representing Arthur D. Little & Co., internationally known consultants and engineers in Latin America with headquarters still in Mexico City. While here Nate Bugbee arranged a quick luncheon which included Eddie Pease, Bill Sleigh, Tippy Tower and Les King. He also had a long chat with JockBrace and visited Phil Coykendall at the Squantum Naval Air Base, the writer in Hingham, and the Bill Jenkins on Cape Cod. Dick is extremely high on Larry and DotLeavitt's Vermont Academy where his two boys prepared for Yale. Among others, DocTanzer has visited Dick in Mexico City and Dan Slawson, who lives in Cuernavaca, is a frequent caller.
Harold E. Stevens of 209 Follen Rd., Lexington's Town Counsel for the past two years, and Earle C. Parks, Town Counsel of Belmont since 1947, announced this week their association in the practice of law under the firm name of Parks and Stevens with offices at 30 State St., Boston. Mr. Stevens is an Assistant Commissioner on the Metropolitan District Commission, was personal counsel for the former Gov. Bradford and a former Commander with the U. S. Navy during World War 11. Parks and Stevens will probably specialize in municipal corporation, probate and conveyance law.

Mr. and Mrs. Pierce will occupy the former Crook residence on Hillside Ave. Pierce graduated from Dartmouth, class of '25, and has held executive positions in large General Motors dealerships."

The new book, Raymond of the Times, written by Francis Brown, editor of the book review magazine of that estimable New York journal, has been warmly received since its publication this summer. For more about this biographical study of the Times' first editor see the book review section of this issue. Brownie is a new member of the Dartmouth Alumni Council, having been elected a member-at-large last June, and is also a member of the Alumni Magazine's three-man Alumni Advisory Board.
Eddie Pease just returned from a two-weeks flight to London and Paris on business. He lunched with Dick Gratz at the Paris airport at Orly and relived the summer of 1925 by revisiting places like Interlaken and Zurich. He also went up the Jungfrau. Space prevents changes of address and visitors to Hanover, till a later issue.
