1911
Treasurer, SARGENT F. EATON Howland Dry Goods Cos., Bridgeport 2, Conn.
The last letter from Ray Taylor was dated October 26 in which he wrote, "I have no news to pass along right now. It is the middle of the deer season here for the low counties along the coast, so I have been spending weekends up in Mendocino County. No trouble getting my two bucks, but I expect to go up once more before the close." Now he too has left us.
We shall all remember Ray as one of the stalwart members of the class, genuinely liked by all because of his fine character and loyal enthusiasm for his friends. It is not too much to say that he and Cora rated as great favorites among his classmates. They could always be counted on to do their part in anything pertaining to Dartmouth. Ray was a consistent and generous subscriber to the Alumni Fund and was always active in Dartmouth alumni affairs. Their home was frequently the scene of alumni gatherings.
Julia Dunning writes that they have a new grandson who belongs to their daughter Cattie. Their son Stephen was "awarded a Ford Foundation Fellowship for this year to follow up practically any line of cultural education which he felt would contribute to his chosen profession of teaching. He chose to go to the University of New Mexico for his first quarter and then to U.C.L.A. or some smaller college in California... Arthur works very hard at being a manufacturer's agent." Julia says they were disappointed not to get to Whitefield last spring and hope to be able to next spring. Daughter Julia is still with Northwest Airlines at the Chicago Airport and comes in for many intriguing trips thru the passes she rates.
Cap and Coleen Hedges just returned from another trip to the South where Cap goes semi-annually to check his company's large land holdings. As usual they stopped over in Houston where son Dave is vice president of a bank and where Dick now also resides.
Budd Schell returned to Florida for the winter and has been having mail trouble as a result of moving back and forth from Boston to Keesville to Ft. Myers. His address is now definitely Ft. Myers Beach, Fla.
Jim Irwin writes expressing his grief at Louis Hall's death. They went together into the American Field Service in France. Jim says that the two senior partners of his firm died within the past two months so that he finds himself with a business on his hands which is keeping him extremely busy.
Watch forthcoming issues of House Beautiful. One of these will have pictures and a story about Hazel Russell's new kitchen which she designed.
Card from Fred Long, written around his birthday time, states that the first 64 years go around mighty fast, but I am sure Fred has kept up with them. He has a very attractive wife and two daughters and a fine connection with the bank. Fred is in charge of the real estate operations of the bank, meaning mostly ranches which the bank finds itself possessed of when the mortgage payments stop.
I'm late in reporting that Charlie Jordon was sorry to miss the Boston class party in October. He gives a little news of his family to the effect that his only daughter, who graduated from Smith last June, was married in October and now resides in Atlanta, Ga. Charlie, like the rest of us, finds that after the children grow up and leave home, the house seems a little too large.
The Art Winships have moved back to his old home town of Reading, Mass., where they are living at 43 Deering St. Art is still associated with the U.S. Dept. of Labor in the Wage and Hour Division but with new headquarters in Boston at 18 Oliver St., rather than in Vermont.
Other new addresses are: Carroll T. Jones, 24 Broad St., Mt. Holly, N. J.; Ralph S.Wilder, 9 Regatta Rd., North Weymouth 91, Mass.
Dutch Uline, who is vice president of Adam, Meldrum & Anderson Cos., Buffalo, N. Y., department store, finds himself kept busy as a director of his company, of the Downtown Merchants Delivery Association, the Frontier Engraving Cos., Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Association, and past director of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, Buffalo Retail Merchants Association, and the Rotary Club.
Our poison king, Henry Seaver, the owner of Seaver Insecticide Warehouse in Poughkeepsie, which covers New York State and New England with insecticide powders, has time to devote to other activities as director of the Mid-Hudson Workshop for the Disabled, treasurer of the Dutchess County Cerebral Palsy Association, and a member of the Kiwanis Club of Poughkeepsie, the American Society for Horticultural Science, and the American Society of Economic Entomologists.
The wedding of Mary Alice Dodge to James Bailey was a beautiful and delightful occasion, run off in the perfect manner of all Mountain View affairs. The festivities started Friday evening before the marriage when the wedding party took over the Weathervane Inn, where meals were also served to them all day Saturday. For the other guests, the preliminaries began with a buffet supper at the Weathervane Saturday night put on in the style you'd expect of Billie Pizzuli, Mary's head waiter. The wedding, at 8 o'clock, took place in the handsome Baptist church which Frank was so instrumental in building. This was beautifully decorated with many candles and other Christmas ornaments. Schuyler Dodge gave his sister away, Ginny Dodge being matron of honor and John Dodge best man. Following the ceremony there was a large reception at Mary's home which had been attractively decorated and where many out-of-towners, together with practically all the residents of the town of Whitefield, were gathered. The Pearsons and Burleighs were there to represent 1911.
Mary's immediate plans were to be with Schuyler's family in New York for Christmas, then return to Whitefield until Easter vacation when she and John will fly to Hawaii for a short visit. Mary is looking forward to the return of 1911ers next June as usual. I can assure you that it gives Mary very real pleasure to have classmates there at that time. A later announcement concerning this will appear in these notes, but she will be expecting you for the opening of the hotel on or around June 13.
