1935
The photograph of Smith, Colton, Bankart and "Ma" Smalley which appears on this page was only recently made available to us, along with the explanation of how it happened to be taken.
" Dave Smith, our investment counsellor from San Francisco, brought his family back East for a month last summer, and during that time rented the estate of Professor Eldredge atop Cemetery Hill in Norwich. Colton and Bankart were over visiting one afternoon when Mrs. Smalley also dropped by, and Dave reports that they had just finished having tea with Mrs. Smalley when this picture was taken. He comments: "Mrs. Smalley is not quite as active physically these days with poker and such (or didn't you know how she handled the boys in her club), but her mind is certainly agile, and, as always, she is a fountain of information regarding what is going on in Hanover."
While in Norwich Dave says he also had a visit from Dan Swander, as well as Col ton and Bankart, and that he ran into Biddy Chase, Bob Hage and Don Cameron at different times in Hanover.
Some of Dave's comments on this Norwichvacation seem of interest, and we will passthem on:
The purpose of our trip, in part, was educational, for none of our four children had ever been to New England, and we thought it might be the last opportunity we could make a trip as a family. John Dickey and his son dined with us one evening, and encouraged me to make a trout fishing expedition to the College Grant, which we did after making careful arrangements with Bob Monahan, and under the personal guidance of Professor Herb Hill, who, as you may know, has been secretary of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Commission under three Republican governors. The fishing was out of this world. I caught a total of around 75 trout on one fly, but hasten to add did not keep them all. I could go on for pages about our vacation in the Hanover area, and certainly recommend it to any of you who have an opportunity to get up there as I did. The hospitality of John Dickey, Karl Hill, Herb West, Paul Sample, Herb Hill, and the Coltons, to mention only a few, made the whole experience one we will never forget.
Dave has been active with Dartmouth activities in the Northern California area, andis currently serving there as chairman of theCapital Funds drive.
