1908

Larry Treadway departed for Vero Beach in November. He reported that the sale of the Royal Park Inn had not been completed.

George Fine reports that after being out of circulation for two years with two heart attacks he has bounced back and is able to live an almost normal life but is still under treatment. His one hardship is no more long distance driving. Now on their trips to Orlando they have to fly and hire a driver to take the car there. One does not go very far in Florida without a car and it is a must for his fishing both in fresh and salt water. After the hurricane season is over he and Martha expect to be at 32 East Yale Street, Orlando, Fla., for another six months.

Walter Furman writes that he has been in and out of the local hospital in Princeton for a difficult combination of kidney stones and a bleeding ulcer but managed to escape an operation. The ulcer healed and he got rid of the kidney stones so he is feeling like a fighting cock. He has been taking in all the Princeton games and expected to root Dartmouth over the finish line on November 24 to first place. His son David was sworn in last April as a judge of the New Jersey Superior Court and Walter held the Bible during the ceremony.

Earl and Hattie Wiley took a three weeks' trip from Columbus to Williamsburg, Va., in September where they drank in lots of historical lore and on the way visited one of their sons living in Silver Spring, Md., and one of their daughters at Sylvania, Ohio. He reports that he is almost completely retired now and, as Hattie had a stroke last spring and gets around but awkwardly, he has to be at home most of the time. However they hope to be with the class next June.

Art Wyman received a reminder of long ago from Harold Braman '21 who, in looking over old files of Harry Wellman, found a cancelled check for $10.00 to Art, apparently representing a royalty due on a song published in the 1923 song book by Harry. Art is hazy about the details but believes it was for the republication of an "If I Were Dean" lyric in a Dartmouth song book.

Your editor took a trip to New Jersey in October to visit a niece and other friends and called on Fred Hodgson and Jane Schilling, Fred's widow.

Fred has partially retired from his pollen supply operation, partly because of his 80 years on November 18 and partly because urbanization has wiped out most of the flora in his vicinity from which the pollens were secured, but, at the requests of hospitals for which he has been a source of supply in the past, he is acting as a sort of clearinghouse for supplies of the pollen which he purchases from collectors elsewhere.

Jane Schilling continues to live in her pleasant home on Rockledge Road in Hartsdale overlooking the Bronx River valley but both of her daughters were away at school, Mary in college and Ann at a finishing school.

On the return to New Hampshire he called at the home of Phil and VelmaFlanders in Swanzey but found neither at home. Phil in a later letter wrote that he was at a nearby supermarket where he works part time as an accountant.

Your editor wishes all classmates and their families a pleasant Christmas season and a happy and healthy New Year and hopes to see "youall" at Hanover next June.
