1919

'19ers did quite a bit of traveling this past summer, covering a lot of territory all over the world. A card from Jean and Lou Stone from Cairo indicates that they spent some time with friends in Italy and were continuing on to the Middle East. Dot and Nick Sandoe were at Caneel Bay Plantation on St. John in the Virgin Islands and reported it a great place to "sleep, eat, loaf and swim." Larry and Mary McCutcheon "just returned from our annual fishing trip to Canada and take off next week for a visit with our son in Connecticut. We may find our way to Hanover and if that happens we shall look forward to seeing you." John andMarguerite Fornacca were in Australia and sent a card from Surfers Paradise which brought back memories to your Secretary of his visit there during W.W. 11. Joe Eisaman was at Jackson Lake, Wyo., noting that "25 years ago I explored this country with my children and now am doing it with my grandchildren." A nice note from VernonBurke of Lakewood, Ohio, quoting in part: "Many thanks for again remembering me on my birthday. Certainly the card is a very nice one, in fact it portrays dignity and conservatism, so I assume that it could be sort of a symbol of traits we are now supposed to possess, as this thing called age engulfs us. God only knows I cannot say that I welcomed my 65th, nor did I get any thrill out of the recent arrival of my first Social Security check. Maybe I am not alone in my feeling of resentment in watching the years take over."

Jane Cody Blyth, widow of Lou writes, "I sent in my little contribution (to the 1961 Alumni Fund) right away and I believe Lou had almost the happiest years of his life at Dartmouth. I am well and happy and enjoy reading the ALUMNI MAGAZINE." Bill Grant reports: "Many thanks for the birthday card (Sec.'s note, most of you will recall that Bill designs our cards) which, as usual arrived right on the dot and is always appreciated. The new design is such a change from the happy Indian that I am somewhat concerned over its reception by the Class- hope it is liked." Vernon Burke's comments on this are typical of many received from various classmates.

The board of directors of C. H. Dexter and Sons Inc., Windsor Locks, Conn., recently announced the election of Fay H.Osborne as senior vice president. Al Rayner, of West Hartford, Conn., noted this and further writes: "I just realized that it is almost a month since I received the annual birthday greeting from the class and I have since been meaning to write and tell you that it is appreciated. This one was #65 for me as it is for most of us. I can retire when I please but am enjoying the work so expect to carry on for about another year. Have just made reservations for the Woodstock Inn for October 13-14." Ev Moxon recently retired from the Kendall Company of Boston after nearly 33 years with the Company. He went to Kendall in 1928 as assistant to the controller, specializing in cost accounting. In 1945 he was appointed controller of the Kendall Mills division, and he became controller of the Fiber Products Division when the organization of the company was changed effective January 1, 1960. The Moxons have moved to Falmouth, Mass., since Ev's retirement.

Jack Clark of Harwichport, Mass., checks in, "I suppose a thank you for my birthday card should be filled with news of my behavior mentally, morally, physically and spiritually. It is about a 50-50 proposition, a reduction on the first and third and an improvement on the second and last. Just normal so it does not rate as news. Retirement is still an attraction to me for I can find plenty to do. A peasant at heart, I guess, and I do not have to think about the competition in the insurance business, which is very much on the increase with Sears Roebuck selling the unsuspecting across the counter." From West Cornwall, Conn., ChetDemond writes: "It seems hard to believe that a year has passed since I retired but the calendar says it is so. Fortunately, I am feeling fine again and am planning to get back to Hanover when College opens and for our fall weekend. I think you can count on our being in Woodstock in October unless some other silly thing happens." CharlesKubin, from whom we haven't heard in years, notes briefly from the Veteran's Hospital in Little Rock: "I am not important enough to report anything about myself, but, I must say, however, that in my extensive travels Arkansas without Bill Eads and Owen Lyons would be a sorry state indeed."

The eminent V.P. of our Class, R. ArnoldJackson, recently became chairman of the board of the Ward Baking Co. Rumor has it that Fat is sneaking up on retirement. Travelers not previously mentioned are Kitty and Cotty Larmon who enjoyed three months in Europe in the early spring.

This issue of the MAGAZINE will probably reach you just before our annual gathering at Woodstock on October 13-15 for the Brown game, and, if you have not already made reservations, come at the last minute we'll find some place for you to stay.
