Robert's family also lives in Concord, and Robert, whose Dartmouth class is '43, became associated in 1946, following his period of service in the Navy, with the investment firm Paine, Webber, Jackson & Curtis, which his father has represented for many years. Harry says his health is good.

Joe Mahoney entered college from Millers Falls, Mass. After graduation he went into the storage and moving business in New York City.

Joe has been in Denver with Weicker ever since. He has acquired seven grandchildren, who are scattered from Denver to California. Thanks to Joe, the following brief reports can be made on two other Denver classmates: - frank McDonough, who came to Dartmouth from Denver, has practiced law in that city, is now retired, and lives in Palmer Lake, Colo. Ralph Knight entered Dartmouth from Randolph, Mass. When he went to Denver is not known. In 1940, he was engaged in the gas and oil business there.
