1912

In response to my inquiry to Bud Hoban as to the present address of George Hoban's widow Mildred, Bud advises that she lives at their old home, 2206 Roslyn Avenue, Baltimore 17, Md. George's boy Bill was a pilot of a B-17 in the war and had 54 missions out of Foggia Field, Italy. He is now teaching at Franklin (N. H.) High School and has three infant daughters. George's daughter Jean is also married and has a year-old boy: so Barbara and Bud are a great-uncle and a greataunt. Barbara and Bud are again spending the winter in their trailer home in the South at Hollywood Beach, Fla. Bud recently attended a Dartmouth lunch in Miami, saw four football games there and saw four Dartmouth football games before going south. He attended the Orange Bowl game on New Years Day, and on New Years Eve went to Palm Beach for the first annual Cocoanut Bowl lacrosse game. There he saw Bob Sanderson '11. Five of Bud's old campers played in the game—two for the Rebels and three for the Yankees.

The many Christmas cards from classmates were greatly appreciated. On one from SamHobbs he says: "I want to get steamed up about a trip East next June. How does it look from your end? Regards to you and all classmates." To Sam and the other members of the class I can report that Jim Steen is getting his committee functioning, with Alice Brennock Day, Chairman of the Women's Division.

The sad news comes of the sudden death, from a heart attack, of another classmate, at his home in Winchester, Mass., CharlesWilliam Morrill (affectionately known as "Tubby"). Although he was with us only two years at Hanover, he had a wide acquaintanceship in the class and was active in its affairs and retained his loyalty and devotion to Dartmouth.

On the evening of January 7, in the ball room of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York City, a tribute dinner was tendered DocO'Connor on the occasion of his 60th birthday, and honoring his 25 years in poliomyelitis activities. A number of classmates and other Dartmouth men attended, but inasmuch as this is written prior to the dinner, the names of the members of the class who were present will appear next month.

From Elizabeth Poor Middleton comes the following request: "Last April the DARTMOUTH ALUMNI MAGAZINE published a letter of mine requesting of the alumni contributions of any memoir material they might have on my father John Poor. To date the responses have been very disappointing, so I am this Christmas contacting each class via the secretary in hopes that he can assist me and bring some of this much-needed material out of hiding." Mrs. Stuart C. Middleton, Box 359, Lenox, Mass.

On December 6 a granddaughter named Ann was presented to Boss and Esther Geller by Nance and Fred Geller '43; the first Geller girl in 70 years so you can imagine the elation of Esther and Boss.

Since his retirement, Rollie and Lily Linscott are living in their Poundridge, N. Y., home that has an old mill dam on the estate. Rollie writes: "Am well adjusted to retirement and love it. Have a course of reading, follow the stock market, do chores around the place and lots of entertaining and being entertained. Now have four grandchildren, three being boys."

Fall visitors at Hanover Inn were Les Snow,Dr. C. C. Taylor, Hal and Mrs. Fuller, Mr. andMrs. Fletcher Clark Jr. and Ken Kimball.

Jim Steen just telephoned me of the formation of the 40th Reunion Committee. Members are Dick Remsen, Carle Rollins, ManWhittemore, Les Snow, Randy Burns, BabeHartshorn and Roy Lewis.
