1946
Dear Gang - All of a sudden it's fall, backto-work time and football weather. The family and I just returned from Chi, and while in the Windy City, spent some time with "Wild Bill" Davidson. Bill, Phoebe, and their three little ones (including three-year-old twin future Dartmouths) live in Highland Park and very near Lake Michigan. We spent some time sailing, in which sport old Bill is quite an expert, and enjoyed the Davidsons' hospitality. They have been in Chicagoland about three years where Bill is District Group Manager for New England Life with seven young stalwarts on his staff, working with the midwest agencies for the company.
