1910

The spirit of reunion continues. Bert Kent, though retired from selling for the Hercules Company and now "promoting" for the Hadley Falls Trust Co., of Holyoke, manages to carry on the work of luncheon club speaker with his talk, "Notes from a Sales Manager's Note Book." About the middle of October he was the speaker for the Kiwanis Club in Framingham, Mass. The guest of honor at this meeting was none other than our own JimMacPherson. A quick trip to Jim's home followed and comparison of notes (mental, of course) on the June gathering in Hanover was the order of the day. Some other Dartmouth men are members of the club so the meeting had a truly enjoyable flavor for Bert. A line from him stated that he hoped to see some Tenners at the Harvard game in Hanover, but from reports we have had there were no other Tenners who let it be known they were there. The last statement is subject to slight correction, since we know that Andy Scarlett and Hal Washburn were there and, of course, Larry Bankart who misses a local Dartmouth athletic event only when the doctors tie him up in a "basket" in the hospital. We learned that Herrick Kidder, who stayed up at his New Hampshire homestead until late in the fall, was at the game.

The Kidders, Scarletts and Washburns had reunion dinner and evening in Hanover during the week before the game. Herb Woods and my wife and I met in Hanover for the Lafayette game. We had dinner with Andyand Bertha Scarlett at that "house of hospitality" the Scarletts use incidentally as a home. We had the long evening and the following morning together and it was one of the most satisfying occasions for all of us. As we visited together we began to hear broadcasts of the rising waters down in Connecticut. Word came that there were no trains running south of Springfield and none out of New Haven. So Herb called Virginia to find out whether there was any trouble in home territory. There was none in Deep River. But Herb could not get anywhere near Deep River so he remained in Hanover until Monday. After a trip of nearly nine hours, Herb showed up at home just before midnight. Herb told us of another impromptu reunion which happened at his home in Deep River, Conn. This was an early September affair. Nort and Florence Cushman and Wayland and Marion Wood teamed up for the drive down from Worcester and spent the day with Herb and Virginia.

We have lost two Tenners to whom anything relating to Dartmouth or the Class was of first importance, George Davies and WinWilkinson, both of whom were with us last June in Hanover. George passed away September 29 after illness of several months, and Wilk slipped away suddenly October 4, while dressing. We have extended the sympathy of the Class to both families. Since Wilk had been elected to our Executive Committe, last June, his death created a vacancy. By a mail vote the Committee has elected Art Lord to fill this spot. Art is one of these Tenners who still travels a lot in his work and as we reported in an earlier issue, he has done quite a bit of follow-up work, meeting many Tenners in their home territories. Art and Bertha have never missed a reunion, official or informal, if there was any way of getting to the place. By the way, have you returned your questionnaire to the Alumni Records Office? Don't fail to do this. It is our only means of keeping track of our two hundred Tenners.

Pineo Jackson and his wife stopped in Hanover early in October as they were returning from a tour with some fishing and hunting in Northern Quebec. Although retired, Pineo keeps on the go because he has retained many of the connections he has long had, with the promotion of safety. He is consultant to New York University Center for Safety; member of standing committees with his former company and with the Insurance Institute of America, Advisory Committee for the Salvation Army in Newark, and trustee of the Jackson Laboratory at Bar Harbor, Me. So it does not appear that Pineo has to think up something to keep his mind active. The way he looks at it:

"As our comrades fall, I become more impressed with the blessing bestowed upon me and the opportunity and obligation of making the most of the time granted to me, but denied to so many Tenners of great ability and usefulness, taken from us before their three score and ten."

Whit Eastman, in New York for a meeting of the Boy Scout National Board, was able to have lunch, dinner and even breakfast with some Tenners. He and Herb Wolff had food together and then developed some food for thought when they got to discussing the job they both are getting deeply interested in: the development of the work of the Class Bequest Committee. Breakfast seemed to be the best time to catch up with Lenny McClintock. RaySeymour was booked at the time of Whit's writing, for a luncheon meeting. Whit tells us that he received word from Bill and Ella Taylor, written when they were in Mississippi en route to Florida in their trailer. Whit and Karen were to leave for Florida late in October.

A Tenner who lives in Maine and who doesn't get to Hanover for reunions is JackThomes. We did hear from him when his remittance for dues came in. "No news," he wrote, "just practicing law." What, no high jumping, Jack? Some day next June send us the good news that you will be with us for the informal reunion. Rev. Bill Moe says,

"Not much to write about but I am as busy as ever in my 80th year and have no thought of retiring. Having more fun in not retiring, as the church is growing and finances improving and salary increasing. Why retire?"

Bill went to the Hartford Dartmouth meeting when about fifteen freshmen and their fathers were entertained by the association. Roge Pierce penned these words to Treasurer Jess Wilson, "Any classmate who is willing to take on the job you have, deserves a prompt reply." Any Tenners need this hint? Roge was on jury duty in Superior Court, Suffolk County, when he wrote. Ken Phelps sent with his check for dues, a check-up on the Tenners in his vicinity. After listing all the retired, Mike Elliott, Bill Taylor, Whit Eastman, NoahFoss and Tom Steward, he lists Ed Paul and himself and says, "Professional men have no social security and so work till the end!" We can add here that not only professional men are so situated, but some of us who are in business all by ourselves would have to keep at it to provide the wherewithal from which a pension could be paid. So we work and forget about pensions. And we must like it.

The Florida changes of addresses have begun. Dick Hursh left in October and expected to spend "from now to May in Winter Park with an occasional business trip to New York and Chicago." Ed Dusham planned to move south about the middle of November. ThayerSmith "married off another son, Robert '50, in September. Can any alumnus challenge me on family representation at Dartmouth? Five of my six boys have attended Dartmouth, the youngest (Samuel G.) being a sophomore there now. The other four were graduated between '45 and '51." John Finn says the hurricane avoided them. We wondered about the flooded streams later. So far we have heard of noneof our men being in the affected areas.

This will be the end of the chapter, so AndyScarlett's Alumni Fund supporters will haveroom for the long list of Tenners who made itpossible for 1910 to go over the top on bothcounts last June 30.
