Messages from Bob Kenyon and Art Winslow indicate that they and their wives are established at Anna Maria, Fla., and that Allen Brown and Leon Sprague are nearby.

Bub Coombs' son, Norman Jr., lives in Wellesley Hills, Mass. This fact leads Bub's friends and classmates in the Boston area to look forward to a visit with Bub. Bub is still in the investment business in Chicago, but, though not retired, he is not as active as heretofore.

Lou Gerry reports a new home address at 14 Loring Ave., Providence 6, R. I. As president of the Rhode Island Hospital, Lou made the dedicatory address on the occasion of the dedication of the new main building of the hospital on November 30.

Globe-trotting classmate Arthur Spear has reported his recent trip around the world by airplane, in an attractive little booklet. Quite possibly he will mail a copy to you on request.

Bill Wyman's residence in Concord, Mass., is reported by him to have been temporary. Early in December, he established a permanent home on Cross Street, in Chatham, Mass.

Joe. Coburn attended the Harvard-Dartmouth game in Hanover on October 22. He enjoyed the game and the reunion with classmates. A week later he was taken to the Veterans' Hospital in Boston suffering from pneumonia, from which he has made a good recovery. But, shortly before Christmas, his doctors decided that he should undergo an operation on his throat, which was not expected to be serious.

Natt Davis is again serving as a member of the New Hampshire Legislature, and of its Appropriations Committee. He finds time, too, to fish in Quebec and to visit Florida frequently.

"Jamie" Jamison is still active in the family lumber business which he founded in 1910 in Oelwein, lowa. His two oldest sons are in the business with him. A younger son had one year at Dartmouth in the Class of '44, before enlisting in the Navy, and is now in Oklahoma in work related to oil production. A daughter is married and lives in California. Jamie is proud of his four grandsons and four granddaughters.

Bob Lyon had a birthday back in September, but it didn't get him down. He reports shooting an 85-round of golf recently. How many of the readers of this column, if any, can do as well?

Tim Richards announced his retirement from Brown and Sharpe, in Providence, R. I., more than a year ago, but now he is busy designing buildings on his own.

Deac Leonard, whose death on December 30 is reported in the In Memoriam columns of this issue, was always keenly interested in Dartmouth and in '07. It was a source of regret to him that his school duties prevented him from attending many '07 reunions, though he and his wife Ethel were able to attend and enjoy the 40th. Shortly after his retirement in June '54, Deac wrote to your secretary about his son who is teaching at Hanover High School, and his daughter who is at home. He had made no definite retirement plans and said that he did not intend to undertake a full program of any kind. Deac was a fine citizen, father, teacher, and administrator, and will be sorely missed by his family, his friends and his community.
