1907

Once more it is the sad duty of your secretary to record the passing of another classmate. Charlie Fields died at his Wellesley Hills, Mass., home on November 17. Appropriately, a brief review of Charlie's life since graduation has been written by his four-year roommate and warm friend of postgraduate years, Bill Smart. It will be found in the InMemoriam columns of this issue.

Ed Ashley has given up his Wollaston, Mass., home since his wife's death last June, and is now living with his daughter at 536 Hinman Ave., Evanston, Ill. Ed's son, Gardner, is now teaching French and Spanish at Mount Allison University, Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada.

Jim. Grant, you are welcome as you rejoin your '07 comrades. When Jim left Hanover in 1905, he went into the lumber business and has been in it ever since. His business is conducted under the name, Monroe Sales Agency, in Williamsville, N. Y., of which Jim is president. His son James Jr. is associated with him. His family consists of a wife, a son and a daughter, and there are five grandchildren.

Mr. and Mrs. Art Farringlon were October visitors in Hanover.

Bob Lane is said to be preparing to retire from his bank responsibilities in Portland, Maine, and is probably planning to enjoy his attractive home and his fine family of children and grandchildren.

Bill Walker's present address is 633-8th St., N., St. Petersburg, Fla. You know what that means. He is down there in that sunny, warm climate, playing about with Duke Sanborn,Art Winslow and others. He writes that his wife Jane is interested in oil painting this winter, while Bill and Duke are concentrating on contract at the Shuffleboard Club. (Just how are contract and shuffleboard related?) Bill says he can do most anything he wants to, in reason, and can still have a drink now and then, "mostly now." We don't have to worry about Bill. He's doing all right.

Cliff Norris, who has not been in too good health for some years, says that he is in good shape when he remembers to be his age, which he claims is 76. That guy is going all right!

Here is really good news! Bill Wyman hopes "to be able to attend some one of the future reunions before long." Will he get a warm welcome? Bill is director of food service at the Connecticut State Hospital, Middletown, Conn.
