1913
Frederic A. “Jack” Alden was married on June 9 to Miss Florence Marie Leonard of Long Branch, N. J., in Douglass Chapel of Douglass College, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, N. J. John M. Alden ’46 of Pelham served as his father’s best man. Jack and Florence are well-known educators. She was co-founder and former principal of the Leonard School for Girls in New York City and a former administrator at the Columbia Grammar Preparatory School in New York. She is currently serving a six- year term as a trustee of Rutgers University and is a trustee of Douglass College. Jack, as you know, was headmaster of the Co- lumbia School (founded in 1764) for 36 years. He was co-founder of the Leonard School for Girls. Some will remember he was educational adviser to the NBC Walter Damrosch Concerts for young people, long before Leonard Bernstein’s programs. DonCunningham writes from Denver that he had an enjoyable dinner with Jack and his bride on their honeymoon.
Bill Terry’s son Bill Jr., their eldest, was married July 14 at the home of the bride’s father in New Rochelle, N. Y. Sally Flynn, the bride, is a lovely girl and Bill and Sarah are very fond of her. The wedding was a quiet affair with just the two families pres- ent.
A letter came from Frana C. Whitney, daughter of Marc Whitney, telling of her father’s death on October 22, 1960 and sending a memorial contribution to the Alumni Fund. The In Memoriam will be in this or a subsequent issue of the Alumni Magazine. We regret that we have to an- nounce the death of Josephine A. (Carroll) Scarry, widow of John Joseph, at Cape Cod on June. 6, 1962. Tom Sullivan found the notice. Edwin Carl Grothe died on July 16 at the St. John’s Flospital of a heart attack. The In Memoriam will be in this or a fol- lowing issue of the Magazine.
Warde Wilkins returned from his “tour of Europe,” 21 flights in 14 countries with many pleasant calls on Dartmouth men or their families. TWA Jet brought him to Lis- bon where he spent six days, and saw KeithWood’s widow, Doris, and daughter Betsy at Estoril. “We had a delightfully unusual lunch at a real Portuguese restaurant in Cascas and then saw their new home in Es- toril, for they have sold their home in Parede where Keith lived and we went to the cemetery where Keith is buried.”
At Nice, he found Madeleine Meignan, the daughter of Arthur “Jiggs” Donahue 1915, and their son, who live at Monte Carlo. In spite of their hopes, it seems that the boy, 18, now will not be able to go to Dartmouth. At Vienna, he found Sharon Scherzer, granddaughter of T. D. andMarian Jewett. Walter Scherzer is with the Atomic Commission in Vienna and this fall they will present T. D.with a great grand- child. On his first visit to Paris in June he located Hippy Tuck at once at 7 Rue Octave Feuillet, but Jiggs Donahue, who had ex- pected to be at the Hotel Florida had left Paris. Dordogne, France was too far from Paris for him to contact Frank Dudensing. On his return to Paris on July 1, Kippy and Katherine Tuck entertained him at a de- lightful luncheon at their beautiful home just before leaving for Geneva for the sum- mer. The Tucks return to Paris in October. There was time, however, for a shopping trip to Kippy’s favorite shop for fishing equipment including many flies.
At London, he found, as prearranged, Lt. Richard W. Ellis ’5l, U. S. Navy, Disburse- ment Officer stationed in London about op- posite the American Embassy and living in Weybridge. A Saturday afternoon visit with him and Barbara and their two daughters was followed by a steak dinner at their fa- vorite pub near Weybridge —• most popular place, judging from the cars and the crowds.
Edmund and Gladys Freeman, following their return from Europe, visited ErnestThomas and Beatrice at their summer cot- tage at Rock, Mass. Ben and Warren An-drew and George and Helen Watts joined them.
