1905

At the time when we of this part of the country were "enjoying" one blizzard after another, Ida, Royal Parkinson's widow, wrote: "Snow is piled high, temperatures low, but when the sun is shining, it is gorgeous. Of course I do not stay out long at a time but I do enjoy a walk each day." This is the good old New England spirit!

Halsey Loder, now located at 330 Beacon St., Boston, is thankful to be able to report steady, if long and painful, progress toward recovery after his close call in an inexplicable automobile accident. He is thankful that his car bore the brunt of the damage — it had to go to the junk man thereafter - but three broken ribs with the attendant shock were injury enough to his own person. We all wish Halsey a complete recovery and hope to see him as usual in Hanover next July .

We are happy to report, too, that Marion, "L.C." Grover's wife, has written that she is very much better. However, "L.C." had decided against a trip to Florida this season, but will substitute a stay in Maine, a change which will bother neither of them, so fond are they of their Maine abode.

Verney Russell is pleasantly situated in the Sunrise Park Cooperative Apartments, a new, restricted development in Yakima, Wash. This small city lies about 130 miles southwest of Wenatchee, where Verney formerly lived. This part of the state of Washington is famous alike for its apples and its rugged mountains. There seems to be just one drawback: it is situated so far from Hanover as to preclude Verney from returning to our reunions.

One advantage that our Florida hibernators have is the opportunity afforded by location and leisure to enjoy the company of other Dartmouth men. "C.C." Hills writes of having had dinner with Jane and Roger Brown and having seen Charles Richardson '07, brother of Ed Richardson. Roger was the lone representative of our class at a "Ladies' Night" at the Ivy League Club of Sarasota. Hobbs '04 was the only other man of our vintage present there.

Through their daughter, Miss Louise G. Campbell, we have learned of the death of Clara G. Campbell, widow of the Rev. W. James Campbell, on September 6, 1960.

After a long career of great usefulness in his field, Harry Wilkins went to his rest on February 2. A widely respected authority in ophthalmology, he will be greatly missed in medical circles. Harry was a man of wide interests. He devoted many years to the Royall House Association, as president, and had been active in art and music. Only as recently as January of this year he had given a semi-humorous talk on "medicine" at the West Medford Reading Club, a small group in which he found great pleasure. We extend our deep sympathy to his wife and daughter.
