1925
Changing locations and addresses of the thousands of Dartmouth alumni has put a heavy burden on the College's very efficient Alumni Recorder, Miss Charlotte Ford. Therefore, it will be very helpful if you would forward to me or Miss Ford at Alumni Records Office, Crosby Hall, any changes for classmates including your own. At this writing we do not know the present address of Henry Octavec (formerly Route 2, Westport, Conn.) or RobertC. Reynolds, who presumably has returned to the New York area from Los Angeles.
Our annual Boston Dartmouth dinner was well attended but a lot of regulars were missing, due to illness and conflicting engagements. Those present were Larry Leavitt from Vermont; Eddie Pease, Don Hunt, Jake Penney from Worcester; Ken Nugent, Ham Thayer from Hopedale; Bill Sleigh, Homer Tilton from Kingston; Woody Wilson, Whitey, LineDavis from Foxboro; Bunny Levison, Doc JackSpring from Nashua; Chet Eaton, BobRhoades, Hal Stevens, Dick Holden from Providence; Don Lawson, Phil Coykendall and the writer.
President Dickey and President Conant of Harvard gave excellent addresses elaborating on vital current subjects such as military training, effect of world conditions on liberal arts colleges, land troops for Europe and related subjects. It was preceded by fraternizing in Wheelock Tavern and supplemented by the spirited alumni orchestra.
Commander Phil Coykendall will spend from March 12 to April 1 taking intensive Disaster Courses at the U. S. Navy Civil Engineering Corps School at Port Hueneme, Calif.
Tibby Marshall was recently elected a director of the Commercial Union Assurance Cos., Ltd., and its affiliated companies, writes Marty Huberth, New York realtor. A card from Sid Milnor states that he is back in the Red Cross for another bit of duty stationed at Fort Knox, Ky. Carl Bridenbaugh attended the San Francisco Dartmouth dinner in late February at which George Colton represented Hanover.
From the New York Herald-Tribune: "BOWLES ESTATE $1,140,263. A tax appraisal yesterday in the State Building, 80 Centre St. of the estate of Chester A. Bowles, chairman of the board of the Continental Industries, Inc., who died in a plane crash in the Hudson River on November 19, 1945, listed gross assets at $1,722,929 and a net of $1,140, 263. Mr. Bowles died intestate and the estate was equally divided among his wife, Mrs. Martha Lee Bowles, and a son, Robert E. Bowles, both of 895 Park Ave., and another son, Chester A. Bowles Jr. of Schenectady, N. Y." A close friend said that Chet always claimed he would make that million. Incidentally, I understand Bob Hardy was Chet's counsel.
February guests at the Hanover Inn included the Dr. Harry Crawfords and family from Rochester, Dr. Herb Talbots, LloydBraces and daughter and the Les Kings. The last of March Jock and Helen Brace flew to Rome, planning to work back up through Zurich to Paris, Frankfort, London, Liverpool and other big centres. He claims it's 110% business with every luncheon already scheduled. It was in Liverpool in July, 1925, that Jock arrived, after working his passage from Montreal by cattleboat with Joe Leavitt,Jim Howe, Gardiner Howe, Bob Benjamin,Eddie Pease, Bob Rahmanop, Andy Edson and myself.
