1907

Bob Kenyon's friends, who are legion, will be glad to know that Bob has been discharged from the Bradenton (Fla.) Hospital, and that he is back at Anna Maria in good health.

Sam Hale, a resident for many years of Bar Mills, Maine, reports that he and Mrs. Hale have sold their home there and have bought another home in Rochester, N. H., and expected to move in in mid-December. Their new address is 31 Linden St., Rochester, N. H.

Our recently adopted classmate, Canning E. Hinman, brother of Herb Hinman, is a native of New Hampshire, since he was born in Northumberland, N. H. He is married and has one child, a daughter, Hope Hinman Dean. Canning, now retired, was salesman for the Johns-Manville Company for many years covering New Hampshire and Vermont. His present home is at 11 Laurel Ave., Haverhill, Mass.

Don Williams reports that a grandson was married last September. That event brackets '07, doesn't it?

Charles Willson, whose home is in Farmington, N. H., has been called on recently by three '07 classmates, Bob Kenyon, BillAhern, and Don Williams. Charles hopes and expects to attend '07's 50th.

Vic King will celebrate two important events next June: '07's 50th reunion, and the graduation of a grandson, Jack, from Dartmouth. Another grandson, Vic III, will be a junior this year.

Returns from the recent December 11 bulletin are most encouraging. As of this date, December 26, thirty-six replies have been received, of which thirty-two plan to return, two are uncertain, and two do not expect to return.

Ted Redington, now a resident of Southern California, feels that he and Mrs. Redington cannot make the long journey across the continent. Merton Knapp's wife has been ill for nearly a year, and he feels unable to sign up for that reason. One classmate, Ed Temple, is one step ahead of most of us. He has signed up for both the 50th and the 75th! Bill Walker, currently a resident of St. Petersburg, Fla., writes that he is feeling fine, and that Jane and he will be at the 50th with bells on.

Another classmate has recently established himself .for the winter in St. Petersburg, Fla. Dwight W. Hiestand, for many years a resident of the Virgin Islands, is now living at 142 2nd Ave., South, St. Petersburg.

A note in the October 24 Item, a Lynn (Mass.) newspaper, reads as follows: "Joseph M. Coburn, former labor reporter for the Item, will attend his 41st consecutive Harvard vs. Dartmouth football game on Saturday afternoon."

Dick Southgate is now associated with Harry Storrs in the considerable task of publishing a 50-year record of the Class of '07.

Classmate Arthur Bourne ended his career as a research entomologist at the University of Massachusetts on October 31. He had completed 46 years of service on October 10, one of the longest careers established by a professor at the University. After graduation from Dartmouth Arthur took up graduate studies in his chosen field at Massachusetts Agricultural College, now University of Massachusetts. After a period of service with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, and with the U. S. Bureau of Entomology, Arthur returned to the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass., where he has been teaching and directing Experiment Station work ever since. Arthur and Mrs. Bourne plan to remain in Amherst. (This classmate has made a fine record as a scientist, professor and citizen. Let us hope that we may renew acquaintance with him during our 50th Reunion.)

Harry Wellman died on December 19 at a Concord, N.H., hospital. He had been in poor health for several years, and had been unable to participate in '07 gatherings in Hanover. Harry had retired from active teaching in the Tuck School in 1952, and became professor Emeritus in that year.

Before returning to Tuck School as a member of its faculty in 1919, Harry had had positions with the Boston Chamber of Commerce, Filene's department store in Boston, Lowney's chocolate and candy business, and a government position in Washington, D. C„ during World War X. He will long be remembered as a professor who enjoyed his students, understood them, and sought to launch them on their post-graduation careers. His reputation as a placement officer for the Tuck School and the College was outstanding. His avocations were his music and his fishing. Year after year, as he grew older, he would summon up enough strength to get him to his fishing camp in Newfoundland, from which he would return in September in apparently restored health.

As an outstanding member of '07, especially during his undergraduate years, during which his activities were legion, and his leadership ever-present, he will be remembered and missed by his classmates. Harry is buried in Pine Knoll Cemetery in Hanover. '07 was represented at the services by Dr. HarryStorrs and Dick Southgate.

Several classmates have advised your class secretary that they have requested room reservations at the Hanover Inn, but have not yet received confirmation from the Inn. These classmates will be interested in the following statement from the Manager of the Inn, Mr. James McFate: "As soon as Carnival is out of the way, then the summer reservations will get attention. Within a few weeks all will know just what will be available for them."
