Hanover was lovely at the time of the Holy Cross game. The anticipated Twenty gathering never came into being, partly because the town was bursting at the seams with too many other people. Members of our local delegation were, however, frequently visible on Main Street, in the corridors of the Inn, and at other observation posts. Messrs. Foley and Goddard, for example, caucused between the halves of the freshman game with Brown, undoubtedly passing some grave judgments in connection with their Athletic Council responsibilities. Although the Ski Hut was not still redolent of Columbia River salmon, its memory lingered among those of the local Twenties who feasted there earlier in the month. Bud Weymouth has summed up that event clearly and concisely, as follows:

Thanks to Bill Fam ham of Spokane and a Columbia River salmon that he caught and shipped to Hanover, local 20's on October 5 feasted at the Ski Hut in epicurean style.

Chefs Jones and Wood of the Inn stuffed and planked the salmon in all artistry. White Bordeaux by courtesy of Al Foley. Dessert, a parfait Cherry Heering.

Present were John and Edith Amsden, Al and Ann Frey, Dick and Polly Goddard, Paul and Sylvia Sample, Harry and Dot Sampson, Bud and Alice Weymouth, Bill Carter, Al Foley, Elmer Stewart and honorary Joe McDonald. The Holbrooks, Moultons, Art Pierce and Hoppy, unable to attend, sent their regrets.

During the evening all signed a note of appreciation to Bill and sister Ruth.

Treasurer Al Frey, a most helpful adjunct to this note-collecting business, handed over an assortment of items including a letter written September 14 by Art Earle:

After tonight when I am closing the affairs of Earle Construction Corp. the City of Boston will no longer have one of this Earle clan connected with the construction business - unbroken until now since 1900, when my father started here. From now on my address will be Faircourt, Bernardsville, N. J. Started three years ago, Faircourt Evergreen Farm is now busy enough to warrant fulltime supervision.

Art goes on to say that spinal discs have been giving him serious trouble. "Undoubtedly it is time to slow down anyway. So I have sold the plane and the car and am going to try to act my age."

Helpful as our crew-cut friend Frey can be when it comes to purveying the news of others, it took an October 28 column by one of our favorite writers, Joseph Kaselow of the New York Herald Tribune, to reveal that The Association of National Advertisers appointed Professor Albert Frey, of Dartmouth College, to conduct a study of advertising-agency functions. This will provide a management tool to serve as a guide for advertisers "to individually solve problems of agency relationship and compensation. A test-run report is due at the A.N.A. spring meeting and a final one at the annual meeting next fall. When you stop to ponder this, it becomes evident that the study can turn out to be a downright delicate operation.

A couple of good fellows got together in Sierra Madre, Calif., the other day; Paul Bowerman writes that "Al Steinbrecher was in the neighborhood and had the happy thought of consulting a phone book. Al seems to be one of the few people who set a deadline fairly early, made it, and retired. Since he looks years younger than his age, the business of being a country gentleman on an Arizona estate must have a lot in its favor."

One college president knew what to do when the cares of office became more than he could stomach. He quit. Our Charlie McKenzie writes that he has resigned the. presidency of Mary Baldwin College, Staunton, Va.,("No more college adminstration for me") andis now at home" at 89 Christopher Road,Chapel Hill, N. C.

The Stan Newcomers report a new grandchild, Frank Daniel Bock 11. This raises their giandparental count to six, each of their two children being the proud parent of two girls and a b0y.... Laura (Mrs. Bill) Carter went all the way to Grand Junction, Colorado, to bid a new grandchild welcome in the early fall.... The Tom Dudleys advise us of the marriage of their eldest son Tom Jr. '52 on October 6. The ceremony took place in the College Church, Durham, N. H. The bride, Dudley Webster, daughter of a University of New Hampshire professor, has now become Dudley Dudley, and in so doing joins the interesting company of such sterling characters as Phelps Phelps, one-time New York congressman, Thomas Thomas, Metropolitan opera star, and no doubt many others. Maybe somebody should start a club.

Sherry Baketel served as chairman of an Eastern Management Conference sponsored by the Pennsylvania Association of Life Underwriters in Philadelphia, October 18-19. The imposing program reminds us that Sherry "was an early mover in the establishment of the Philadelphia Estate Planning Council, member of the Million Dollar Round Table in 1945, and currently general chairman of the General Agents and Managers Conference of Eastern Pennsylvania." Not unmindful of his other loyalties and attachments, Sherry lined up Dean Upgren of the Tuck School as speaker for the opening luncheon, and found good spots on the program for Roger A. Clark '19 of Pittsburgh and George D. Co veil '30 of Pittsfield, Mass.

Phil Frazier, who has spent his whole adult life as a missionary pastor among the Sioux Indians - in Santee, Nebraska, Hominy, Oklahoma, and elsewhere - is now supervisor of Indian Churches in McLaughlin, S. Dak Leo Ungar has a daughter safely installed at Skidmore and need seek no further excuse for frequent visits to Hanover.... Wes Carr's daughter was graduated from Denison University last June.... Gerry Morse has joined Commercial Investment Trust, a giant of uptown Manhattan which is largely concerned with auto financing but operates eight subsidiary companies.

Art Stockdale's father, Dr. A. A. Stockdale, passed away in Baltimore recently. A legendary figure well known to many Twenties, Dr. Stockdale was originally a minister; then became staff speaker for the National Association of Manufacturers in 1937. His unusual ability to portray the human side of business served the NAM well in the 4.000 talks he delivered before more than 1,250,000 persons in the United States and Canada.
