1918

Our Class Luncheon was held at Keenes' on September 28. It was attended by approximately fifty classmates, wives, and friends. The usual good time was had by everyone. The Class is greatly indebted to Em Morse and his committee for arranging the details of this party.

The rain held off until after the game on Saturday. Then a soaking rain set in, which changed the foliage practically overnight so that on Sunday morning the whole countryside was aflame with the most beautiful foliage that we have ever seen. Friday we had a near hurricane with lots of rain all through New England so we were indeed fortunate to have a warm, relatively clear day on Saturday. While the score was University of Mass. 3, Dartmouth 27, the first half of the play was very close. A beautiful 63-yard pass, perfectly timed, put the University of Mass. team in a position to score a field goal which would tie the score with only a half minute left in the first half. The whole weekend was a pleasant experience. We hope more classmates will attend next year.

It is with great sorrow we announce the death of Homer Lininger at his home in Tucson, Ariz., on September 8. He is survived by his widow, two sons, and a daughter.

Hort Chandler was recently named vice president of the Officers of the 197th Coast Artillery Regiment. This regiment served in the Southwest Pacific for four years during World War II.

Murray A. Baldwin writes from Fargo, N. D., that he has moved from his large house where he has lived for 45 years into smaller quarters but still has enough room to entertain '18ers. His new address is 401 Oakland, Fargo, N. D. He still takes part in the state government, farms a bit, and continues working for the insurance companies. He has two married daughters, seven grandchildren, and one unmarried son in the Navy. He plans to do a lot of traveling from now on particularly in Europe. His health is fine and he hopes to live to be 100.

Ed Garvey writes from Salisbury, Conn., that he is planning to leave shortly for San Francisco on his way to Japan, Hong Kong, Manila, Guam, and return to the states heading for Chapala, Jol., Mexico for his usual winter visit. He hopes to see Eddieand Marjorie Butts in San Francisco.

Eddie and Marjorie Butts have just returned from four months in Europe. They spent two weeks in Sicily, which they think is the garden-spot in Europe. They had a fine time in Switzerland then to Paris and Copenhagen. They plan to stay in San Francisco this winter.

Pups Colie writes that since his retirement in May, 1961 he has been busy with a number of public matters. For the past year he has spent three days a week in the law office of a friend helping. He hopes to spend four or five months abroad in 1963 going to France, Austria, and perhaps England and Scotland.

Nipper Knapp writes that he has been experiencing poor health recently. He has had pneumonia three times in the past two years. He still plans to make the reunion in 1964.

Will Hulbert, Red to us, retired from General Motors on August 1. He was with General Motors a few months short of 41 years. He has had many assignments with General Motors having been with the General Motors Acceptance Corporation and with the foreign department in Antwerp, Belgium for two years. Then he went to Java as branch manager and after a year joined the overseas operation as assistant sales manager of General Motors in Java. In 1930 he was appointed to the financial staff of the regional director for Europe in Paris where he spent the rest of the time until World War II when he was recalled from Europe with all of the rest of the American personnel. From then on he has spent most of his time in New York City. At the time of his retirement he was assistant to the manager of forward planning. He is the past President of the Rye, N. Y., Community Chest, former Chairman of the Rye Red Cross, and former president of the Rye Community Concert Association. For many years he has been an elder in his church. Now he and Mrs. Hulbert are concentrating on painting and handicrafts, two of their long-time interests. We are sure that Red will continue to lead an active life during his retirement.

Woody Hulbert writes that he has just completed his first full year in retirement in Florida and loves it. During this last summer he and Mrs. Hulbert went to Laguna Beach to visit their daughter Carol. They came home by way of Boston spending two weeks with his son Richard who is a lawyer in New York City.

Johnny Thayer writes that he is still plugging along in real estate and writing for the newspapers. He had a wonderful vacation in the Smoky Mts. this summer. He was planning to have another operation on September 25 at the Good. Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach. He expects to attend the 46th Reunion.

H. Langdon Robinson, Robbie to us, writes from Springfield, Ill., that he is still working hard at the old stand. Hopes to spend this next winter in Florida come January. He and Mrs. Robinson showed up at the Dartmouth-University of Massachusetts game but unfortunately we did not have a chance to talk with them.

Lew Cousens had a slight operation and repair job done at the Keene Hospital on September 20. When we stopped at Westmoreland on September 28 he was home acting like his old self. He reports that he had a very pleasant stay in the hospital, good meals, attractive nurses, and plenty of company.

Paul Miner's brother sent us a clipping from the Springfield, Mass., Republican newspaper, a long write-up with a picture of Ray Barrett's son, Dr. Alan H. Barrett. Alan is associate professor of electrical engineering at M.I.T. His specialty is radio astronomy. He is a co-designer of microwave detection equipment placed aboard Mariner I and II space probes to determine the temperature of Venus. It is gratifying to know that Ray's son is following along in his father's footsteps making a success of his life.

You will all be interested to know that Don and Ethel Barr are back in Norwich, Vt. They have temporarily rented an apartment in Norwich while they are developing plans to build a new home in or around Hanover. It was nice to see them back. While we were at the Norwich Inn this last weekend, we saw the Barrs, Booths, and Morses having dinner together. It sure looked like old times.

By the time you read the above, the Harvard game will have come and gone. The response to the card we sent out announcing that the Harvey Hoods would run a luncheon before the game indicate that there will be a good turn-out for the luncheon, game, and cocktail party to be held at the Commander Hotel immediately after the game. We will miss those of you who could not be with us. We know we are going to have a good time.

Please send us some news about your activities, your trips or future plans.
