1921

Bob and Ros Loeb are flexible. For a long time their address was Mamaroneck, Westchester County. In 1951 they bought six acres on Den Road, Stamford, built a house, and lived there happily for six years. Oh, but the commuting! When in 1958 a new cooperative apartment was built in Sutton Place South, right over the East River Drive, Bob bought one on the 19th floor with a spectacular view not only over the river and Welfare Island and Queens but also up and down the river from the Queensborough Bridge to the Williamsburg. Guests, like Tracy Higgins, Hugh and Marion McKay, and Nels and Terry Smith, used to spend a full fifteen minutes ooing and ahing over a quadrillion of lights and dazzling advertisements for Pepsi, Imperial Whiskey, and Sunshine Biscuits. But Sutton Place South is New York City. The apartment house contained 270 apartments, innumerable human beings, and some 160 dogs, mostly poodles, all of which had to be curbed twice a day, a nice problem of poodling for the Street Cleaning Department, which gave thanks that the dogs were not Great Danes. Streets swirled with dust, belched polluted air, and emitted traffic noises offensive to ear drums. Interested in wild flowers, shrubs, and trees, Ros began pining for the country. When Bob found outside New York a 1790 house, ancient but modernized, expansive with six and a half acres of new air and old maples, Ros's heart missed a beat. Previous owners had shown exquisite taste in landscaping, and, as mistress, Ros takes pleasure now in pointing out not the blinking garishness of Pepsi, Imperial Whiskey, and Sunshine Biscuits but the delicacy and perfume of innumerable flowers and shrubs to guests who find that fifteen minutes of oohs and ahs are inadequate. The address is Haviland Road, Stamford.

In Concord, N. H., Dick Rolfe also lux- uriates in a new house at 59 Little Pond Road, out in what New Englanders call tall timber though actually within city limits. He can get to work in eight minutes. A power in the Savings Bank, Dick is feeling particularly cheerful. His daughter Cynthia has not only returned from Malaya to the States unharmed with her husband Bryan Tones, Steven, two, and Andrew, but also visited Father Dick and Mother Marjorie. The happiness is tinged with melancholy. At Thanksgiving Bryan and Cynthia left for Australia. (Bryan is a native of Melbourne.) Later they take off for Borneo. (Bryan works for Standard-Vacuum Oil.)

A third man has bought a new house. Those particularly welcome guests at the Holy Cross weekend, Ed Luedke and Molly have moved from Orchard, N. Y., to 21 Metzger Drive, Orchard Park.

There's a fourth. Skinny Moore, now in his new home at 35 Radcliffe Rd., Wellesley, is within hailing distance of such good fellows as Reg Miner and Don Morse, Bill Kearns and Tom Norcross.

Phil and Florence Noyes moved out long enough to prove that they can wear out their automobile and that their automobile cannot wear out them. On their third trek they motored to the Northwest recently to visit Edward . '50 near Chicago and three grandchildren; Elizabeth in Tacoma, Wash., with a side trip to Victoria, B. C.; and Phil Jr. '49 in. Yakima and three grandchildren. Incidentally, Phil now has nine grandchildren. On the way home they swung around through Frederick, Md. Total time: seven weeks. Mileage: 7,500. Accidents: o. Most amusing incident: panhandler in Wyoming who by jangling his lachrymose chords to produce a teary cacophony of emotions wangled a buck out of Phil. The panhandler said, "Well, podner, un ain't so young as un used to be. Guess yuh know how it is." Generous Phil is young in spirit, and the touch-artist, as old as the human race, evaluates properly the Christian spirit defined as being more blessed to receive than to give.

Two potential travellers, Joe and TaveLane, did not get to England last spring but hope to next. It will be a foretaste of what is to come when they will be looking away from Lookout Mountain to see what is not in Tennessee.

Pete Bailey has had his name in the newspapers. The Minnesota Power and Light Co., which he joined in 1924 as a sales engineer, has recognized his good work in sales and rate work and promoted him from Head of the Budget and Statistics Department to the newly created position of Assistant Comptroller.

DeWitt Mallary has also hit the headlines. He has become' associated with a new law firm, Wilson, Keyser, and Otterman in Bradford and Chelsea, Vt. He is nonetheless still connected with his Springfield, Mass., firm: Bulkley, Richardson, Godfrey, and Burbank.

Friendly Encounters Here and There: Homer Cleary and Bill Embree, who is everything which Homer finds admirable in a man, had dinner and good conversation recently at the Yale Club in New York.... Celebrating a birthday, Tom Staley had a longdistance call from Ralph Ruder. There was talking about the Fortieth and the chance to give Anne and Rosemary a whirl.... In Cincinnati Vance Clark was cheerful at the sound of Hello from Bill Alley of New York whom Vance envies because of the many '21 men within easy dining distance of one another .... Joe and Marion Folger had dinner recently with Harland and Laetitia Manchester at the Manchester estate in the hills beyond Union Village, Vt. In Pembroke next year, Susan Manchester, an upperclassman, may be able to greet an incoming freshman, Tina Moore, Skinny's daughter.... In Cali- fornia at Manhattan Beach, Art Ross and Bill McAdams hobnob once in a while to compare notes about Art's home territories (Calais, Me., and Washington, D. C.) and Bill's (Metuchen, N. J., New York City, and Edgewater, Fla.).

In Hanover Joe Folger entertained recently his not-quite-three-year-old granddaughter, who has the hot blood of Mississippi in her veins. In reactionary New England, where, according to Southerners, cold weather influences the still colder manners, Miss Mississippi lost little time in kicking smacko in the shins one of Joe's colleagues, an elderly, indeed venerable, professor of Romance Languages. When a handsome freshman about 6 feet tall said Hi to her on the streets, she responded by throwing her arms around his knees. It will be interesting to observe what may happen if Dartmouth goes co-educational and draws heavily on girls from South of the Mason-Dixon Line. To avoid getting kicked around, professors may have to retire younger. Meteorologists may predict that in future New England winters the atmosphere may become balmy. Snowless Dartmouth Winter Carnivals may feature on the Connecticut River water-skiing races between girls from Mississippi and men from Alabama, which would fascinate sweating snowskiers from McGill and Middlebury.
