1912

Connie Snow recently received publicity in the Washington Post and Times Herald, with a picture of him walking from his home to the State Department Building, taken crossing Memorial Bridge on his daily walk from his home in Arlington, Va., to his office. The caption to the picture stated:

A familiar sight to Virginia commuters is the vigorous figure of Brig. Gen. Conrad E. Snow USA (ret.), who has made the 3½ mile trek from his Arlington home to the State Department by foot almost every weekday since 1946. The General, who figures he has hoofed over 10,000 miles in the last nine years, is assistant legal adviser for the State Department. General Snow takes the bus home. He is 66 years old.

As heretofore reported, Connie is retiring in June.

Francis P. French, who was a member of our Class for two years, retired at the end of January from more than four decades of service with the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad on Staten Island. He was freight agent at the railroad's Port Ivory station where he had been located since 1918. He was first employed by the railroad in 1912. After two years at Dartmouth, he taught languages at the Westerleigh Collegiate Institute, a preparatory school.

Ev Gammons retired as president of the Franklin Savings Bank of the City of Boston on January 26 after conducting the 95th Annual Meeting of the Corporators of the Bank. He was the tenth president of the bank since it was incorporated in 1861. He was elected president in 1947 and was previously its treasurer for 23 years. During the term of his service with the bank, its assets increased from $26,000,000 to $74,000,000. He is a lifelong resident of Cohasset, Mass., serving on the finance and school committees of that community. He has been chairman of the Legislative, Mortgage and Deposit Insurance Committees of the Massachusetts Savings Bank Association.

From Cliff Sugatt comes word: "Am well in spite of a little repair job in the hospital a couple of months ago. Still working for Certainteed Products Corporation—Building Materials. Have been with them now for twenty years. Would like to retire but cannot afford to just yet. My son and daughter both married now for twenty years, each with three children, making me a granddaddy, with six."

On January 29, Alvie Garcia had a stroke, after playing a little golf and meeting his wife at his country club, in Tampa, Fla., DickRemsen left for Florida the end of February and planned to have a visit with Alvie, who, at last report, was in a satisfactory physical condition.

Stan Weld paid a visit to Doc O'Connor and me during February but I was so late for an appointment, I did not have much of an opportunity to visit with him. I hope that Stan tries it again soon.

Bill Cunningham '19 devoted considerable space in his daily column in the Boston Herald to a $100-a-plate infantile paralysis dinner in Boston at which Doc O'Connor was the principal speaker.
