1921
Again, the Alumni Office asks that we keep our notes for this issue down to a minimum so they can devote space to the 1957 Alumni Fund Report. For that project and especially with '21 up there with the leaders, we will most certainly go along with such a request, so they can get in the full list of contributors which "this time will be the longest we have ever printed."
First, we must refer to Bill Barber's death on October 9. Your secretary and several other '21-ers attended the funeral service at Grace Church, Manchester, on our way to Hanover for the Brown game weekend. We'll miss Bill, of course. More about him elsewhere.
Flash! Jim and Dorothy Smead, one of our Springfield medics, and wife, have made the gagoogs (the Grand and Glorious Order of Grandparents). Their daughter Nancy Ann (Mount Holyoke '50) and her husband Dick Armstrong (Brown '50) have produced the first Smead grandchild - Frederick Smead Armstrong, in Farmington, Mich., on October 9.
Now your secretary will have to take this opportunity for a bit of chest puffing. Charlie and Dorothy Gilson just took a fast run up to Hanover to meet their fifth grandchild, Stephen Bond Gilson, born at Mary Hitchcock Hospital on October 18 to Ben and Sarah Gilson. It's wonderful, isn't it?
The Springfield Union ran a column and picture recently on R. DeWitt Mallary, the new chairman of the board of the Eastern States Exposition. He has been serving as president, and has made such an outstanding name for himself as an attorney, and breeder of Holstein dairy cattle, that the board of trustees elected him to the chairmanship, the first chairman of the Exposition since it was formed.
As Dan Ruggles reported in his last issue of the Smoker, Ellis Briggs has purchased a home in Hanover, where the Briggses plan to settle whenever they eventually retire from the diplomatic service. We understand the future Briggs homestead is at 3 Pleasant Street. Speaking of Ellis, his lovely daughter Lucy was recently sworn in as a Foreign Service Officer in our Diplomatic Service, following the example of her younger brother Everett, who is already a Foreign Service Officer on duty in Buenos Aires, and in the footsteps of their distinguished father.
Word has come from Reg and Sylvia Miner that they are taking a flying trip to New Orleans for a convention, and to keep a dinner date with Bob Elsasser and his wife. Their trip takes in a good bit of the Southland, concentrating on Dallas where the official excuse for the trip - the convention takes place.
We have a wonderful snapshot of MickShoup in football togs when he was captain of the Colorado Springs football team —just a few years back. Tom Cleveland sent us the picture. It - not being exactly up-to-date may be difficult to reproduce, but we'll see if it can be done. Tom, incidentally, in his note writes — "a great day yesterday at the (Harvard) Stadium - a good crowd of '21-ers on hand for the picnic, including JoeSchultz from Cleveland." You'll hear all about the Harvard game party in detail in the Smoker.
We hear from our correspondents that Jack Garfein is an avid, active - yes and a very fine — golfer. He is secretary of the Lincoln Park Golf Club, out in Frisco, and recently competed in the annual "Hole-in-One" tournament. The caption under the picture of Jack in the midst of a mighty swing says —"Up to date not one has been able to score a hole in one."
We haven't heard much first-hand news from Roger Bailey since we last saw him out in Duluth some 20 years ago. However, a note has just come in from him bringing us up to date. Roger says, "I am just a little older and just a little grayer than in 1921. - I now have eight grandchildren, so I figure I am doing quite well. I am still with Minnesota Power and Light, title — Head of Department of Budgets and Statistics, which means I do the guessing as to the future, and reporting as to the past. Haven't been East since my son graduated (from Dartmouth) in 1949." Sure is good to hear from you, Roger.
Frank Rood reports that he has retired, and is planning to move to eastern Pennsylvania.
Herrick Brown is another classmate who reports an increase in the number of '21 grandchildren. Herrick's son and daughterin-law, Ken and Nancy, welcomed Michael Herrick Brown, Herrick's sixth grandchild.
Walt Holt and Marion are back north, as Walt says "at the old job at Boston University."
That comes close to wrapping it up for this month, folks. If everything works out per schedule your secretary and his best girl Dorothy will be on the high seas when you read this, on a junket to spend Christmas in England with son Charles Jr. and his family of wife and four and a half children. We'll probably be able to get the next month's column written up before we leave, but maybe we can persuade our secretaryemeritus Reg to pinch hit at the scandal column for February.
Have a wonderfully glorious, happy, and merry Christmas, all you nice people. How about dropping a feller a line - specifically your columnist - and tell him what, if anything, Santa Claus dropped down your chimney?
