1923
Fourteen sons of 1923 are hard at work in Hanover this fall. We are happy to welcome one freshman, namely Ford A. Daley, son of Wilbur Daley of Shelton, Conn. In order to make it easy for our classmates to find these men in Hanover or to write to them asking them for a meal at the Inn, here are the vital statistics.

Irish and Alice Flanigan came up to Longmeadow, September 14 for the wedding of Babe Miner's daughter Ginny to John Nichols of Bethlehem, Pa. Clary and Priscilla drove over from their Vermont farm for the event and George and Jo Weston were also on hand. The Nichols will live in Chatham, N. J.
Another wedding of considerable interest occurred in Madison, Conn., when Ted and Marj Shapleigh's daughter Eunice married Edgar Brinckerhoff of Hamden, Conn., in the Madison Congregational Church. The Zimmermans, Wallaces, Rices, Lyles and Dodges were on deck for this happy event. The Brinckerhoffs will live in Coral Gables, Fla.
Bettye and Sumner Sollitt entertained the Chicago and vicinity men and their wives September 30-22 at their farm in South Haven, Mich. Irish and Alice Flanigan came out by train. Your secretary and wife, Barbara, flew out. Butch and Dottie Kimball,Bill Juergens, Karl and Dear Williams, Marie Moore, Don's widow and Bunny Metzel, Warren and Marion Cook, Bud and ConnieFreeman. Ted Swartzbaugh and Major Bud were on deck Friday through Sunday to enjoy of excellent meals, cocktail parties, croquet games, exhibitions of horsemanship on the part of Karl and our host's daughter, Narnie, and aquatic sports in the pool by the famous Tea House.
Another fall get-together was that held at the Longmeadow Country Club September 26 when Howie Brown, Gus Ryan, Bill Gates, Don Pope, George Weston, Hal McKenna, George Ferguson, and Babe Miner met for the annual dinner of Western Massachusetts men.
Looking over the scrapbooks of 1923 your secretary has diligently searched for a wedding of a son and a daughter of the class. It looks as if my Ben and Fred Clark's Betsey set a precedent when they were married on June 12 in the First Congregational Church of Swampscott with a reception at Fred's Tedesco Country Club. Ben is an ensign in the Navy and their home is in Norfolk, Va.
Gordon Lewis of Englewood, Fla., early this year published "The Book of Florida Fishing." This came out in two editions, one for newsstands and "tackle stores" and a regular bound copy. In some two months this became, according to the records, the best selling book in its field in the nation.
Gordon writes as follows, "The astounding interest manifested in the sales of my book makes me feel the book filled a long-ignored need for an elementary, inclusive work on the fish of Florida."
Gordon, who has fished Florida waters since his first visit there in 1928, is now a resident of the state, living on its west coast on Manasota Key. A professional writer on fishing of national renown, he has published articles and stories in over 40 periodicals in- cluding Sports Illustrated, True, Pageant, Fishing Tackle Digest and Liberty. For re- search on "The Book of Florida Fishing," he spent months talking to guides and charter boat captains, fishing with local sportsmen and visiting the famed fishing centers and little known angling spots of Florida's vast coastlines. As a result, his book is filled with authenticated information on the identifying characteristics of the game fish of Florida, their habits, and the most widely approved methods employed by expert Florida anglers. Although he has fished in the waters of many countries, Mr. Lewis's first loyalty re- mains his greatest. Only Florida, he says, of- fers the vast diversity of fighting gamesters so readily accessible to so many fishermen in such a variety of exciting methods and ap- proaches.
