1907
The Class of '07 has lost one more of its members, a man whose great qualities and talents are widely recognized. Dr. Charles McKendree died at the home of his son in Greenwich, Conn., on September 10. A classmate who knew Charlie longer and more intimately than most, writes: "What a great and good man." All '07 men will recall how tirelessly Charlie worked to finance his college education, and all will be proud of his outstanding success in his chosen field of medicine. During recent years, Charlie experienced a succession of physical setbacks, including partial paralysis, but his courage was unshaken. This classmate was a great guy. Read about his accomplishments and honors in the In Memoriam column of this issue.
Ed Ashley reports the sudden death of his wife, Cornelia, on June 21. She had suffered a coronary attack. The many '07 friends of Ed and' Mrs. Ashley will want to take this means of expressing to him their sincere sympathy.
McKay Howard reports a new address at 50 East 10th St., New York 3, N. Y. Bob Lane's latest address is 7 Rocky Hill Road, Cape Elizabeth 7, Maine.
Irene Hathaway and her daughter-in-law, Caryl, enjoyed an extensive European vacation last summer, principally in Italy and Switzerland. They were joined by her son Jack, and her brother, the American minister to Rumania.
Herb Mitchell's son Hamilton '38 became a vice president of the R. H. Donnelley Corporation this summer.
Charlie Richardson, whose retirement was reported in the October MAGAZINE, has now established Mrs. Richardson and himself in their new home in Mount Dora, Fla. Charlie has already bought a boat and an outboard motor, and plans an active fishing program. His new address is 1170 Palmetto Road, Sylvan Shores, P.O. Box 521, Mount Dora, Fla. Why not write him a note? You'll probably be retiring to Florida soon yourself. There is already quite a nucleus of '07 men living there part or all of each year. It will be no surprise to his classmates that Charlie made a distinguished record for himself during his 39 years of railroading and his service as State Civil Defense Deputy for Transportation in Illinois. He'll tell us all about it when he joins us in Hanover for our 50th!
