1919
Further notes on some 1919 travelers — a card from Lisa and George Bingham indicated that they were enjoying themselves in Honolulu, after spending some time in Hong Kong, parts of China and Japan. They planned to come home via Lake Louise. Anne and Bob Lewis went West in the U.S.A. and one stop was in the Black Hills of South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore. Quoting in part from a letter from Murray Hawkins, — "lt is always nice to get a birthday card, but I must admit that they seem tocome a little fast. Carol and I had four months in Europe, and I'd hoped to see some of the people in New York, but my time there was cut short each way. I did see Walt Cooper, but was very sorry not to have gotten to see some of my other friends, in the class."
Jack Childs, 1909's sterling newsletter editor, sent in the following, a quote from a Cleveland paper - "Dr. Robert M. Steelier,, specialist at the Metropolitan General Hospital, who is known internationally in the field of arthritis and rheumatism, is leaving Cleveland on a round-the-world trip this, weekend. The doctor and his wife Florence will be gone for 50 days."
The aforementioned Walt Cooper was recently elected to the Board of Managers of" the Montclair (N. J.) Savings Bank. Walt is a general partner of the well-known Wall Street investment house, F. S. Smithers and Co.
You all have received the statement of the class finances from our most efficient treasurer, Ray Adams, and it is indeed a fine statement and well presented. You also have received a bill for the 1960-61 dues, so please, if you have not already done so, send in the seven bucks pronto. Larry Eastman, Portland, Me., representative of the National Life Insurance Company of Vermont, had his picture taken recently with our beloved President Emeritus Hopkins, at the dedication of the company's new building in Montpelier. Dr. Hopkins is chairman of the board! of directors of the company.
Russ Potter notes, "Whatever your system is — it seems to work wonderfully. Am sure there are other sixty-fivers in the Class and let us all hope they can keep their health and enjoy life to the fullest. Fat (Jackson), whom I see or with whom I talk now and then, told me of your retirement and plans for taking life easy. So enjoy every minute of the day. Hard to believe that forty years, ago we were at Harvard Summer School.'"
In attendance at the annual Westchester County Dartmouth dinner at the Shenorock Beach Club in Rye were Harry Colwell, Ed Fiske, down from Kennebunkport to check up on the boys, Bri Greeley, Ken Huntington and Paul Halloran. Bob Blackman was on hand and, as usual, did a fine job. Twenty-seven members of the class of 1964 and twenty of their fathers were guests. Trace Kohl, from Sedona, Ariz., writes: "Retirement whips some people - it's all in how one prepares for it." Trace, who is secretary of the local Rotary Club, lists his occupation as "semi retired." Because of his past experience in managing hotels, he puts in several days a month in nearby motels as relief manager, desk clerk, .or what have you, whenever such services are needed. Avedis Miridjanian, another semi-retired member of the Class writes in on the stationery of the Moran Factors, 570-7 th Avenue, New York 18, N. Y.:
Many thanks for your card which I found' waiting for me upon my return from a short vacation in August. I had seen the notice of your retirement in the MAGAZINE or the Smoke Signal. I sincerely hope you will enjoy life in Hanover after so many years of hard work and push in New York. However, I will be more interested if you find something to occupy a part of your time to avoid the boredom which will surely follow if you remain idle a long time. Please keep in mind to drop in and see me, in case you visit New York from time to time. Katherine joins me in sending you our sincere wishes.
Well, our annual Woodstock-Hanover weekend has come and gone and it was, as usual, a great success from every angle. On hand, either in Woodstock or Hanover or both, were Ray Adams (be sure and send in your 1960-61 dues), George Bingham, Claire and Tom Bresnahan, Lil and Harry Colwell, Doris and Howie Cole, Anne and Bob Lewis, Toni and Casey Bevan, Adele Ives, Mary Lou and Pete Grey, Chug Sears, Jack Clark, Dan Featherston, Ruth McCarter, Harriet and Win Batchelder, Madeleine and Bunny Collins, Mary and Jim Davis, Beulah and Jim Capps, Jessie and Ed Fiske, Nan and Oscar Lewis, Kitty and Cotty Larmon, whose fine hospitality after the Penn game was so enjoyable, Sally and Herb Fleming, Adele and Bri Greeley, Elisabeth and Norm Sterling, all the way from Ponte Vedra, Fla., Catherine and K.D. Smith, Alice Earle and Rock Hayes, Ray Legg, Ruth and Norm Jeavons from Cleveland, and West Virginia, Marge and Ken Huntington, who entertained a few of the folks still around on Sunday, Caroline and Max Huntoon, Spider Martin, Hon and Fat Jackson, Harriet and Lou Munro, Catherine and Paul Halloran, Hester and Jack McCrillis, Leonora and Bud Welsh, Edna and Dick Werfelman, Polly and Jim Wilson, Winifred and Ronald Lodge, Mary and Al Googins, Harriet and Ray Hinds, Edna and Jock Murray, Hattie and Bob Paisley, Dot and Stu Russell, Ethel and Hal Parsons, and your Secretary. Friends and people from other classes included: the Amos Blandins '18, Sylvia and Jack Taylor '22, the Alex Jardines '16, the Roy Balls '22, Peg and Frank Holmes, our genial hosts at the Woodstock Inn, Brenda and Don Millar, Brown '19, and the Jack Mayers '20. Hope no one's name was skipped in the large crowd present, more than ever before. The fine showing the team made in taking over the Ivy League champs is a tribute to the hard work of both the boys and the coaches, and they hope to spring a few more surprises before the season is over.
