1908

New address for the little green book, L. E. C. Amidon, 24 Gillett Street, Hartford, Conn.

From the Anchorage, Alaska, Times quoted in Reader's Digest: "An old timer is one who remembers when time was marching on instead of running out."

The class necrographer is happy to report that "no news is good news."

Thanks to replies from Larry Symmes's recent class letter and our own efforts we have quite a bit of small news to report.

Edward and Eleanor Bartlett are spending the winter in California and may possibly go on to Honolulu. Their trip includes a stop to see their year-old granddaughter in Ann Arbor and a visit to Pomona College where Ed was on the faculty for five years.

Paul Batchelder suffered a collapsed vertebra last spring which constricted his travels somewhat but he hopes to make the reunion in June.

Phil Flanders reports from Keene that he is retired but has enough work in accounting to keep him busy without jeopardizing his social security and that he and Leon Woodward trade at the same supermarket and meet frequently. Leon also works part time at the Kingsbury Machine Tool Company under the same restrictions.

Walter Furman reports that he has retired from full time with the Duraloy Company but is retained as a part-time consultant.

Stacey Irish reports that since retirement he has been suffering from an attack of shingles from which he was recovering at the time of writing.

I asked Honker Joyce if he was still selling supplies for the dead ones and he wrote "Same old struggle to make both ends meet or at least a reasonable facsimile of meeting."

Chet Melville writes that he has had several heart attacks which confine him at home but he is doing very well if he takes things easy.

Another quiet member who reported in was Tom Morrissey. He writes that he has not been in active construction work since 1957, is fairly sound but has to use moderation in physical work. Don't we all, some more than others. He reports his fourth grandson.

Harry Rogers is up and around again but spent 107 days in the hospital in 1960. His strength is slowly returning but he does not expect to be with us in Hanover next June.

Art Soule reports that he and Juliet spent two-and-a-half months last fall in Spain and Italy but returned directly to their home in Fort Lauderdale for the winter.

George Squier has recovered from his honeymoon daze enough to introduce his new wife to the class. She was Dorothy (Mrs. Harry W. Partridge), his brother-in-law's widow. They were married October 22. Welcome to the 1908 family, Dorothy.

Bob Thompson writes that he is still on the job with the Addison Gilbert Hospital on a part-time basis, working mornings, and hopes to be able to be with us in June.

Art Wyman reports his first entry in the Great-Grandfather Derby, Henry Wyman Hazen, born December 2, 1960.

A preliminary canvass on reunions by LarrySymmes indicates Batchelder, the Blakelys,Griffin, the Irishes, the Bartletts, Bob Thompson, the Gleasons and Emery and yours truly plan to attend the reunion in Hanover in June with probably more to register later. A few were listed for the Vero Beach reunion but as that will be over by the time this is mailed they are not listed. Griffin, Irish, Gleason, Hoar and Emery do' not plan to attend.
