The Manchester (N. H.) Union reports in its August 31 edition that William J. Ahern, oldest active State employee in years of service, "officially retires today after 47 years with the State Forestry Department." A former member of the House of Representatives and pastpresident of the New Hampshire State Employees' Association, Bill was honored at a testimonial dinner attended by 75 fellow employees and officials of forestry groups from all sections of the State. He received a watch from fellow-employees, and a citation from Governor Dwinell for his continuous service.

"Judge" McLane retired from the Dart- mouth Board of Trustees last June, after serving as trustee for thirty years. During May, alumni of the Manchester, N. H., area paid tribute to "Judge," at that time acting-presi-dent during President Dickey's European trip.

"Doc" Foley enjoyed a 37-day trip through the Far West during August, while Ed Ashley visited his son at Middlebury, Vt., during the summer.

The death of Nat Davis was reported in the October issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE. Letters from Nat received during recent years indicate that he was a man of many activities and interests. Until his retirement from business responsibilities in 1949, business management was his primary interest and responsibility. Since 1949, he was free to travel and did so extensively, usually accompanied by his daughter. His trips were principally within the boundaries of the United States, except for visits to the Canadian Rockies and Alaska. A letter discloses that Nat was a keen fisherman, and visited Eastern Canadian provinces frequently. After retirement in 1949, Nat became interested in state politics, and was elected to the New Hampshire Legislature for several successive terms.

Ray Brown's death in late August is reported in the In Memoriam columns of this magazine. Ray received his C.E. degree from Thayer School in 1908, was promptly em- ployed as an engineer by the City of Fall River until 1917. when he went to Plattsburg and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. After his discharge from military service, he went into a contracting business, but soon returned to Fall River, where he served that city until he was forced to retire because of ill health in

Greb and his wife, Ethel, vacationed in August at York Beach, Me., a favorite spot for Greb for many years.
