1899

March birthday greetings to Ed Skinner and Louis Benezet!

That sure was one way for others to get the impression that your Secretary was wintering in Florida, when it befell Warren Kendall to mail those letters to the Class from Sarasota, and then to have an error creep into his address at the head of the notes showing the same address as for Ed Skinner at Orlando. But all that time, though he may have wished otherwise, said Sec was quietly enjoying the rigors of winter right at home in Syracuse.

John Ash has been visiting daughter Alice at San Leandro, Calif., looking for sunshine to help his arthritis. Expected to go on later to Arizona and New Mexico. John celebrated his 86th birthday on January 12.

Herb Rogers' wife Laura has been having a rather tough time of it what with a siege of grippe that confined her to bed for quite a while. Anne Oaks has been visiting with friends in California, and is planning thereafter a visit with son Tom in Mexico. Anne writes that she had a wonderful four weeks in Europe last fall, but that a pinched nerve in her back cut short her trip and put her in hospital for three weeks. We are glad to report full recovery.

'99 was pretty well represented in Florida this past season. From Miami Shores we hear of the boon that Margaret and Dr. Rodney Sanborn have been having of basking in the sunshine of 80 degrees weather, with such diversions as deep-sea fishing and frequent attendance at the races at Hialeah Park. Ed Skinner and his wife were at Orlando. Then there's Helen and Warren Kendall with residence at Sarasota as well as Amy Ford at the same place, with Charlie Adams and wife at Daytona Beach. The Kendalls have been making frequent trips up Washington way, for they both keep up with numerous activities. They are probably the most active of '99ers. On January 1 Warren's son Bill Kendall '32, Thayer School '33, became vice-president and general manager of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.

Elizabeth Collar has been having medical treatments at a New York clinic, but is expecting to return home to Lakewood in the spring. Mrs. Frank Musgrove's mother is probably the oldest mother of '9gers, for last December she was 98 years old. Mrs. George Rounds spent the holidays in Chicago with daughter Helen and family.

Charlie Adams' son Herbert, Dartmouth '28, Forest Ranger in charge of the Androscoggin District of the White Mountain National Forest, has been promoted to a new staff position in the main office at Laconia, N. H.

This is the month when a report on '99's Roundup has usually been in the making, and this year we'll celebrate our 57th consecutive get-together. All the previous meetings have been in Boston, but the time has come when we don't like some of the first Saturday winter weather hangovers we have encountered there. So the Class has voted that the Roundup be held in Hanover in June. Preparations for the meeting are in progress.

Secretary, 659 Allen St., Syracuse 10, N. Y.

Treasurer, 836 Canovia Ave., Orlando, Fla.
