1901

Gardy Cobb is staying in Worcester for the winter but will return to the old home in Strafford, Vt., when spring comes. He contemplates a trip south before returning, and may get as far as Costa Rica Doug and NancyVanderhoof recently entertained President and Mrs. Dickey at their home in Richmond and the local Dartmouth men and their wives gathered there to meet the President. Knowing full well the hospitality extended by the Vanderhoofs, we know everyone had a most enjoyable time.

We have been having some correspondence with Dick Leach who entered college with us but was forced to leave after sophomore year due to the death of his father. He received his LL.B. degree from the University of Denver and practiced law in the city of Denver for a number of years. A few years ago he was in a serious automobile accident, and has been badly crippled ever since. It was interesting to learn that he has been a writer of note, and for the past few years has been writing the story of his father's life, an early pioneer in Montana and Colorado. Leach has written under the nom-de-plume of "Josephine Street and very few people realized that the writer was a man. He first appeared before the public while in East Denver High School, winning the Phelps Historical Essay as "Josephine Street." He used the name because it was on that street that his old sweetheart lived. A few years later he contributed a story to the Black Cat under the same name. The sweet heart passed out of his life but he considered themname a synonym for success and continued to use it. He now lives in La Verne, Calif.
