1899

In this issue is a memorial article on '22's "Fritz" Crolius. The secretary is sure that many readers in classes other than '99 remember that famous backfield of McCornack '97, Eckstorm and Macandrew '98, and Crolius. Because of the length of this memorial article we will somewhat shorten this column.

A recent Bradford caller was Elizabeth (Mrs. Robert G.) Rowe from Portsmouth with several friends, one or all acquainted with neighbors Margaret (Mrs. Guy E.) Corey, Joe Hobbs, and Ralph Hawkes. Elizabeth keeps Up her contacts with Florence (Mrs. Walter R.) Eastman in Illinois because Walter and Bobby roomed together in Reed their junior and senior years. She brought a clipping from a recent Sunday Globe concerning the N. H. Port Authority's plan to make Portsmouth a serious competitor with Boston and New York.

A clipping from the Worcester Sunday Telegram sent by Eddie Skinner to Tim Lynch gives a full account of the old summer resort, The Maples on Route 140, which burned last July. In 1881 Thomas Lynch, a Civil War veteran and father of our Tim, bought this 35-room farmhouse (built in 1782), added 50 rooms, and made of it a famous summer boarding-house; Tim, last survivor of nine children, often managed The Maples for his parents in vacation, and one of his frequent helpers during college days was the later "Major" Frank Cavanaugh.

Bill and Carrie Hutchinson are now living with daughter Aileen and her husband, Capt. Charles L. Lambing at 3 Kent St., Middletown, R. I. They arrived there two days after Hurricane Donna had damaged almost every tree and house in the vicinity. "Grandson Roy had to hold a board against the front picture window of their home for three hours to keep it from blowing in." Bill is quite inactive now. Carrie and he would be happy to hear from friends and classmates.

So would these others, all recent visitors at various hospitals, and still far from fully recovered, though all are at home again: Laura(Mrs. Herbert S.) Rogers, 14 South St., Rockport, Mass.; Sadie (Mrs. Edward R.) Skinner, 11 Park View Drive, Worcester 5, Mass.; and Agnes (Mrs. Herbert L.) Watson, 17 Foster Rd., Belmont 78, Mass.

December is another '99 birthday month, - every seven days beginning with Joe Hobbs the 9th, Montie Fuller the 16th, and EdAllen the 23rd. Why not combine anniversary congratulations with your "Merry Christmas" greetings to them? Our own good wishes will be repeated in the holiday newsletter, due any time now.
