1907

When Bill Sanborn and I visited Bill Ahern and Harriet at Concord, N. H., we were happily surprised to see an excellent photo of our '07 freshman baseball team displayed on the wall of one of their rooms where they could see it daily over the years. I thought you all would like to see it too, for it shows how young, happy, healthy, and good-looking some of your classmates were in the spring of 1904. Take a good look! As you know our Captain "Kid" Howard has passed on.

Hermon H. Hill and wife Anna of Silver Spring, Md., hope to be in Hanover this June when their son Wayne '41 also has his reunion. Harold D. Oliphant and Marjorie, Robert I. Lyon, and Bill and Amy Witham also plan to be in Hanover at that time along with the rest of us.

George H. Hoyt and Harriette of Berkeley, Calif., are in excellent health. She says that "George is a busy 'boy,'— works all the time. Such power and strength" - wonderful!

Samuel Hale and Lucia of Rochester, N. H., are enjoying good health. It's a pleasure to call and see them whenever in that vicinity.

Bruno Kimball and Ethel are happy and comfortable in their home up in Ogden Canyon, Utah. Bruno enclosed two photos. The view is beautiful from their front terrace.

Don Williams writes that Grace has had a severe heart attack and has been at the Keene hospital. Grace's condition has improved. Our prayers and thoughts are for your recovery and soon, Grace.

Bill Walker and Jane are enjoying life at St. Petersburg, Fla. Jane's hobby is making jewelry, and Bill's is shuffleboard. He is instructing beginners in the fine points of the game during the mornings and playing cards in the afternoon, as well as taking in the horse racing now and then. Bill sees Duke Sanborn almost every day and says that Duke enjoys dog racing. Bill returns to Exeter, N. H., on May 15, after doing some fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, all of which is fine work for a retired dentist.

Harry Storrs has been spending January and February visiting his son and family in Los Angeles, Calif. Harry plans to be back home in Hanover in March.

Three of our classmates attended Merton C. Knapp's funeral services at the Wesley Methodist Church, Concord, N. H. They were Don Williams and Grace, Bill Ahern and Harriet and George Liscomb.

Death came to Harry Matt Gray of Guymor, Okla., suddenly on January 18. Charlotte writes that he suffered two coronary attacks just five days apart and that he had been in the hospital only two days and seemed to be feeling normal again.

It has been nice to receive letters from so many of our classmates, and especially so from the widows Marie Wallace, Louise Field, Elizabeth Ryder, Frances Parker, Eugenie King and the others.

Many of our classmates and those of the other classes who were in college when we were will be interested in a new book, entitled "The Cavalcade of Basketball," by Col. Alexander M. Weyand, West Point 1916 and published in i960 by the Macmillan Company, New York. The teams of 1905-06 and 1906-07 and their members are well spoken of. Very interesting indeed!

Dick Lane and Lucy will be enjoying life at The Cloister, Sea Island, Ga., from March 23 to April 13. They expect to arrive at their Boston home on April 14.

New addresses: Robert T. Stokes, R.F.D. 1, Box 432, Newton, N. J., Howard M. Tuttle, Apt. 101, 231 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington 74, Mass., Frances Weeks Parker, widow of Harold Parker, 40 Carlton Street, Brookline 46, Mass.

Enough for now. Hope to see you at our informal reunion in Hanover on June 12, 13, and 14. It's later than you think, so let's make the most of life now.

Secretary, 8 West Hill Place Boston 14, Mass.
