1914

Here's what happened this summer.... It is a custom for Sherm Saltmarsh to fish Pierce Pond, Maine, and then give a trout luncheon in Boston. Penny Aborn shared in the fun. Chick and Evelyn Grant must have the record; they claim 25 grandchildren.Walt and Peg LeCount had a small reunion with Fred and Louise Davidson, Fred andPolly Weed, and Walt and Constance Humphrey. It was nice to hear from Brad Harrison again. Sig Larmon gave a 1914 luncheon for Lay Little and Fred Davidson at the Union League Club. Lay is making his final trip to the Far East and then will retire. Fred had just returned from his trip around the world. There were twenty for a nice party. Myron Files is enjoying his retirement at his New Hampshire retreat. George Boggs has retired. Gus Fuller is now at work on the next "Sunbird." Lou and Martha Corliss surprised us with a visit at Candlewood. It was Lou's birthday.

Gertrude von Lenz has moved to Bridge-port to be nearer to Bernice, who lives in Trumbull.

It is now official... October 6 and 7 are the dates set for the interim reunion. 1913 will be there with us.

There. That is all of the news that has come my way in three months.

We are lucky indeed to have one of Ellsworth Buck's ability with so much interest in the class history. We sent out notices for the 50-year questionnaire January 5. Second notices were mailed in July and, incidentally, that second mailing depleted our supply of forms. Yet, 65 reports are still missing, after eight months. Remember, we published the names of the missing 16, and to repeat, they are: Norman Thwing, Charles K. Thorston, McKinley Bowie, Maurice Sparhawk, Charles E. Stout, Arthur E. Gillis, John C. Baker, Thomas A. Underwood, Harland A. Hunt, Roy M. Starbuck, Paul R. Southerland, Guy E. Fuller, Edward A. Throttier, Walter C. Hathaway, John A. Kreis, and James W. Reynolds. We have records on everyone to include place and date of birth, parents and Prep school, with the exception of Southerland. He may have been a war casualty, and maybe the War Department can help. Does anyone have anything at all on him? Thus far we have had help on five of the missing.

Unless there is a drastic change for the better, I have decided that I do not want any more of this job, and will start Bill Hands in search for a successor. I am unaccustomed to this obvious lack of interest and, therefore, prefer an "out."
