1905

The Brown game in Hanover was the occasion of a small '05 reunion. The Grovers,"L. C." and Marion, and "Sliver" and AlvaHatch made the Hartness House in Springfield, Vt., their headquarters. At the game the rain drove them away after the first half, but they report a very pleasant visit together. They saw Fred Weston and RogerBrown and had a telephone talk with "C.C."Hills, who was unable to attend the game. Sliver says that this will be his last college game for the year as he and Alva will be following the East Greenwich High School team of which their grandson is a member.

One day this fall C.C. was surprised to find a note from Mrs. Marion Billings. You will remember her as Marion Foye, the devoted friend and companion of George Hersom in his last years. She regularly attended our reunions with George and impressed us as a very pleasant person. Failing to find C.C. in, she wrote to say that she had married again. Her present husband was an old friend; like her, he had lost his mate. In their loneliness they had been happy to turn to each other. We wish them all happiness.

A brief but news-packed note from Chet Lawrence says that he was just out of Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital on October 16. He had been under treatment for his arteries. He had had a good summer with visits from his daughter Joan with her husband and five children, on from Oregon, and son Myron and family (three children). Myron had received his Master's degree at Harvard the preceding June. He is in the State Department in Washington.

More about the Tucks' new home in Trevett, Me. John writes that his son, Jack, bought the place with his brother, Ted, as a summer home for the three families. It is a ten-room house standing on high ground on Mill Cove, with a westerly view. Trevett is in the Boothbay region, a lovely spot. John seems very enthusiastic, quite understandably; still he will be off with Marion for his winter home in Florida some of these days. They have sold their former homes in Auburn and New Hampshire.

Our heart-felt sympathy goes to Halsey Loder in the loss of his son, Halsey Jr. in Oakland, Calif., from a heart difficulty of long standing. He had never married but lived alone in his own house. He had been connected with the Internal Revenue Service of the U. S. Treasury Department for many years.

"Cy" and Hilda White are safely ensconced once more in their comfortable home overlooking Casco Bay. Hilda writes: "We had a wonderful trip; everything worked out beautifully." After a leisurely trip through England and Scotland, they made for the continent with visits in Paris, Lucerne, Rome, Florence, and Venice. Each place, Hilda says, Ernest liked better than the last. They sailed both ways on the Empress of Canada. They encountered rough weather on the return voyage and were 24 hours late at Montreal, their port of departure and return. I'm sure they will have much to tell us next July at our reunion.
