1911

You will all be interested in the latest word from Schuyler Dodge about the June reunion. He writes, "The Dodge Family are delighted to learn that the members of the Class of Dartmouth 1911 wish to return to Mountain View this spring. I can't tell you how much this news pleases all of us. As a matter of -fact, I was planning to write to you as soon as I got back to Whitefield to extend a very cordial invitation to the Class for a visit to Whitefield in June. The Mountain View is opening for its ninety-third consecutive year of Dodge family management this next June and the latch key will be out (it's a green one). They may plan on staying with us as long as they wish. Why not try and encourage all to spend at least a week with us."

Schuyler and Ginnie have been spending part of the winter at Daytona Beach, Fla., and upon their return to Whitefield, the fixing of the exact date will be arranged and will probably be June 24.

Chet Jenkins is certainly putting a splendid final touch on his career as track coach as he was in Australia for'the Olympics. His last message was, "Stopped at Honolulu, Fiji Islands, and New Zealand, after being in Australia a month. Now touring California — expect to get home in April. I am wondering why doctors do not prescribe a long ocean voyage for relaxation. Believe me, there is nothing like it, especially on the Pacific. My wife and I are enjoying every minute."

Another Pacific voyager was Troy Parker who was on a trip from Los Angeles to Panama.

Further word from Larry Odlin is to the effect that he and Dorothy have been stopping en route in Leesburg, Va., but are on their way to the Mountain View in June via Jacksonville, Fla., where they will spend the rest of the winter.

We now have a pair (Bob and Ed) of Keelers in Rockford, Ill., meaning that Bob is now there with his daughter, Mrs. Gilbert D. Rogers, at Spring Creek Road. Ed writes of seeing Bob several times and that he is looking fine. Apparently this is sort of a mutual admiration society as a card from Bob at Christmas telling about seeing Ed "who is one of Rockford's solid citizens."

Shorty Mayo has picked up the suggestion contained in the class notes recently, pertaining to an April get-together for the New England '11ers. He suggests meeting at Patten's Restaurant sometime after April 15. This is a good suggestion. The menu is excellent and they have a private dining room which is available without charge. The question is which it will be, an evening, dinner, or a noon luncheon. If there is any further interest in such a meeting, the secretary will be pleased to send out notices and make arrangments for a date late in the month of April. Do drop him a line indicating your desire. Shorty joins the Floridians - he and Muriel will be at Daytona and Sarasota from February 22 to April 15. Meanwhile he and Muriel have been staying at their in-town apartment at 52 Sherman Road, Chestnut Hill.

Ned Judd, in addition to being known as one of Hartford's (Conn.) outstanding school principals, is also chairman of a social adjustment commission, which is concerned with giving guidance to the mentally retarded youth living in the city. During the past year the commission was able to assist over 300 individuals.

Cap Weston, now Professor Emeritus ,at Harvard, was honored at a dinner of the American Institute of Biological Sciences at the University of Connecticut in August. Some 150 people including most of Cap's former graduate students attended.

Bertha Moseley writes that she hopes she and Harold can be at the Mountain View reunion in June, but says it will depend upon his recovery from a hospital trip in Boston last fall where he was under the care of an ear specialist.

A word from Ken Ballou advises of his daughter Elizabeth's marriage on September 30 to Captain Daniel M. Duffield, Jr., U.S.M.C., at the Wollaston Congregational Church. Elizabeth was an officer in the Navy for three years and it was while she was on duty in Washington that she met the Captain. They are now living in Takoma Park, Md. Ken's son Dick, who has been making a career in the hotel management field, has now joined the Treadway organization and is feeding the students at Tufts University, Medford, Mass., where he has bought a home for his wife, two boys, and a tiny girl. Ken says he is still active in business and, so long as he feels as well as now, he sees no particular point in retiring.

There are a couple of more new addresses now. Warren Agry's business address has been changed to 300 Park Avenue, New York 22, where he is of course still with the American Home Magazine. T. F. Dudley is now living in Wyoming, N. Y.

John Card, who gave up teaching a few years ago, is living in Holbrook, Mass., at 39 Linfield Street, and I am sure would enjoy hearing from or seeing any 1911ers who are ever near Holbrook. John is having a rather tough time being one of these high blood pressure gents, but he writes, "I am enjoying myself. So long as I am quiet and rest much of the time I seem to be O.K." He has overcome a slight paralysis that he had earlier.

The news of the passing of a classmate is always sad and Neal Hotaling's death is no exception. It is a satisfaction to me that Bee and I had the opportunity to call on him in his store and later enjoy lunch with him in Pasadena on our trip to the coast in 1950. We talked of old times. Neal certainly has always regretted the distance between the two oceans which has kept him from seeing us more frequently. He was one of the highly regarded businessmen in Pasadena.
