Art Winslow, '07 Secretary for Florida, reports a terrific Dartmouth luncheon at the home of Roger Brown '05 on Anna Maria Island on February 17. The Roger Browns were assisted by the Kenyons and the Spragues. The Class of '05 was represented by Fred Chase, Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Goodrich, Roger and Mrs. Brown; '06 by Harold Rugg; and '07 by Bob and Mrs. Kenyon; Leon andMrs. Sprague and their daughter, Mrs. Tucker; Allan Brown; Bill and Mrs. Walker;Arthur and Mrs. Winslow. What a party! And they all hoped to meet again at the West Coast Alumni Association meeting on March 9 at St. Petersburg. That is all from Florida for the moment. Now for another point of view.

Bob Stokes has taken note of the annual trek to the southward and he observes as follows: "Naturally, I am not planting parsnips at this time of year, but I am demonstrating that one can enjoy the dolce farniente in winter on the Top of New Jersey as much as in summer on the Riviera. Still a mystery to me why folks under 80 have to light out for Florida in the cooler months. (To me, too, Bob. The Mrs. and I wait until March and then go to Georgia. - Dick Lane)

Bob, following his challenge to the Florida boys, reported with enthusiasm a visit which Mrs. Stokes and he had had recently with Mr. and Mrs. Vic King. Vic, he says, "...is as tall, rugged and handsome as ever; if we elected our chief executives in this country the way the Israelites did at the time of Saul, he would be ...," etc., etc. Quite right, Bob. Then he takes a friendly crack at Ted Glattfeld, "who keeps plugging along on chemical research instead of moving out into the country and buying a dog, - but his letter gives full evidence of unimpaired pep." Bob had nice visits in Hanover last summer with Doctors Hull and Bolser and Prof. Andy Scarlett.

Cully Pierce and Don Williams waved the flag for '07 at the 41st annual meeting of the Cheshire County Dartmouth Alumni Association in Keene, N. H., last December. "Almost the most ancient present," says Cully.

Wasn't that a fine report from Judge McLane about '07's leadership in bequests and annuities? We're good!
