1898
From Charles W. Bartlett ’27 comes this superb Dartmouth family record. “My grandfather, Charles W. Bartlett, graduated in 1869.” (well do I remember his inspiring address in the Old Chapel on Dartmouth Night, 1895) “He practiced law in Boston until his death in 1916. My father, JosephW. Bartlett” (our late beloved Class President) “graduated in 1898 and joined his father in the practice of the law and con- tinued until his death in 1960. I graduated in 1927 and joined my father in the practice of the law. My son, Samuel B. Bartlett, graduated in 1957. He joined the firm last fall. His brother, Joseph W. Bartlett, gradu- ated from Harvard in 1955. He joined the firm in 1961. ‘They have the hill winds in their breath and the granite of New Hamp- shire is made part of them ’til death.’ ”
From Cathy Jones, widow of Albert D. “Mush” Jones, in Bal Harbour, Fla., these welcome words: “What fond memories it brought back hearing from one of Bert’s favorites. We always enjoyed the reunions. Joan and I have lived here since Bert’s death. She is still working with Eastern Air- lines and loves it and must say she is quite a gal. My health is fine, thank God, and am still interested in charity work which I enjoy so much. Warren is still in Rochester and visits with us every year. Joan is planning another holiday in Rome; she goes twice a year. Unfortunately I do not care for flying so do not take the long trips. Would like to have you and Mrs. Seelman call on us if you get to Florida. Am enclosing clippings.” The clippings reported the highjacking of the plane of which Joan was a stewardess and its forced landing in Cuba in July 1961. She speaks of receiving a letter from VicSalinger’s wife and . concludes “Remember me to all the ’9Bers and a special greeting to Mrs. Seelman.”
From Sarasota, Fla. on May 30, Warren C. Kendall ’99, noted war time adminis- trator of the TJ.S. railroads, writes about our late classmate Archie R. Kendall, his widow, Elizabeth, and son Warren A. Ken- dall. He tells how he and Archie, not re- lated, were telegraphers on the old B.&M. R.R. How their friendship continued in col- lege and thereafter and how he attended Archie’s funeral in St. Petersburg. He has kept in touch with the family and speaks graciously of Mrs. Archie Kendall and of her having had one operation for cataracts and another one expected soon. He also enclosed a clipping from a St. Petersburg paper announcing the coming marriage of Warren A. Kendall to Miss Rebecca Seel- bach, to be performed at Decatur, Ga. War- ren A.’s educational and professional Career is given and his employment as a lawyer by Hartford Insurance Cos. in Birmingham, Ala. The Class expresses its hope for a successful outcome of the operation to Mrs. Kendall, extends its congratulations to Warren and warmly thanks the other Kendall for his in- terest in our Kendalls.
A most enjoyable and informative letter from Richmond, Va., June 3, was received from Wm. Everett Hoyt Jr. ’37, son of our classmate Wm. Everett Hoyt. Space will not permit its full publication. “I was most in- terested in receiving your letter and word of the Class of ’9B. As you state my dad was a most enthusiastic member of that Class and loyal supporter of Dartmouth. He and I had many good times together reminiscing about the College. I well re- member attending your class reunion in 1933 which was the spring of the year I first at- tended Dartmouth. I sincerely hope to be able to go up for my 25th this month.”
His letter tells of his graduation from Harvard Business School, his joining Pan Am Airways, touring all of Europe and in Africa when World War II broke out: his work in India, Brazil, and Central America on war contracts with the British and U.S. governments. When he met and married Janet Cole in Miami, he decided to settle down. He visited his father and was with him at the latter’s death in Salem, Mass. He joined the staff of a large department store in Richmond and now is manager of all its service departments. They have a son, Billy 111 He adds “I hope he can continue the family at Dartmouth, but you never know.” He speaks of their love of boating and their annual pilgrimage to Newfound Lake in N. H. each summer.
His brother Joe is a Professor of Geogra- phy at Conn. State College and is the author .of several books, one, “The Story of Con- necticut.” He has three children: Martha, Bixby. and Jonathan. His sister Alice resides in Arlington Heights, 111., and is the wife of .a Montgomery Ward executive, and has four children, Nancy (married). Hank, Beth and Bill. “My mother still resides in Salem, Mass. On her 80th birthday, my sister, brother and I without our families re- turned for a birthday party and have con- tinued this very wonderful weekend each year since. Mother enjoys it as much as we ■do. She is a little bundle with a lot of en- ergy and is in good health for all her years. She is 85 now and believe me is in better health than her children.”
He describes her plane visits to them and concludes: “I’ve enjoyed writing all this to you and it is like talking to a friend of -dad’s to give me a warm glow of remem- brance. I was unusually close to my father. He and I had a lot in common. God bless you all. Best wishes to all ’9Bers.”
