1919
A Happy New Year to all you '19ers and widows of '19ers and make a 1963 resolution that you will keep Win Batchelder and your Secretary posted on what you are doing, where you are, and send in news of other '19ers as well as news of yourselves. If we don't hear from you we can't tell the rest of the class what your activities are.
Recent address changes include those of Guy E. Cogswell, Gould Hill, RFD #1, Contoocook, N. H.; John J. Gilmore, 3213 N.E. 7th Place, Pompano Beach, Fla.; Arthur I. Palmer, 1537 Rugby Ave., Charlottesville, Va.; and John K. Weatherby, 1131 Hugo Reid Drive, Arcadia, Calif. One more, your Secretary will be at Boynton Beach, Fla., Box 1572, from late December on for a few months.
Ray Adams, our genial and efficient Class Treasurer, has a way of collecting the class dues which is painless and he hears from many of the class. Incidentally, if you haven't sent in your 1962-63 dues, which include the ALUMNI MAGAZINE, please do so pronto. Carl Cavanaugh of Manchester, N. H., notes to Ray, - "Pleased to receive your annual greeting and your kind wishes. Next time you are in Manchester drop in the office at 839 Elm Street. Do not travel as much as I used to and leave early in the afternoons to visit with the five grandchildren. Buy some lumber from the Windsor, Vt., institution - the prison, very good service, no labor problem and no big heads on Monday. Best regards."
In our immediate vicinity at Princeton, a real thriller, were Henry Siegbert, DanFeatherston, Lou and Harriet Munro, JackMoriarty, and Tom Bresnahan - there must have been more classmates around somewhere. Spied Greif Raible in the Penn Station waiting for his party, but missed them on the train, where we did see Lou Stone.
Howie Boulton, of Spencer, Mass., notes, "Still judge of the District Court and practicing law, mowing lawns, gardening, etc. Health disgustingly good." Dr. Ken Rice, of South Deerfield, Mass., notes that he is well and healthy - working every day and doesn't want to retire yet!!! From Moe Freedberg, "Glad to be around to pay this bill. Birdie and I are getting ready to go to Florida for six months. We are leaving Marblehead Nov. 6, right after we vote."
Quoting in part from a nice letter from JackRoss, - "Doris and I are well and I am still working at the job of keeping the country well fed with Klav R Pac frozen and canned foods. We went to San Francisco and Palo Alto early in October and watched Oregon State University play Stanford. Reached home in Portland on October 10 just two days before the wildest windstorm you can imagine struck on October 12. This area was a shambles from falling trees, power poles, power lines, and some few homes. We were without electricity for a week and it wasn't fun with no heat or lights. Just two nights ago there was an earthquake which for a few seconds seemed like the end of everything. We hope to see you all again in Woodstock in 1963." Jim Jewett is retiring at the end of the year from the Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn., after 43 years of service. A note to Ray from Jack Moriarty, "Always nice to get your little personal along With the request for money. Sort of softens it up a little. I am still grinding along in the same groove - saving some lives and losing some. But I am really still quite happy practicing medicine — in which profession practice never makes perfect, it seems." Ray Stevens, now located in Exton, Pa., states that he retired as treasurer of the B. F. Gladding & Co. Inc., South Otselic, N. Y. (oldest fishing line manufacturer in the country, 1816), to let up on his work and am taking things much easier than prior to 1958."
Our Fall 1963 get-together is set for the weekend of October 11-13 — program as of now much the same as in previous years, which seems to please most of the class who attend. Dave Beach, new owner and manager of the Woodstock Inn, can allot us only twenty (20) rooms, due to the holiday and the fact that it is ordinarily the height of the foliage season, so he can take care of forty people, maybe a few more in a pinch. Please get your reservations in early. We will have lunch before the Brown game on Saturday at the Hanover Inn Tavern, which, in case of the rain we have had the last two years, comes in very handy. More details later on but remember the date.
Also a most important announcement - Max Norton, recently retired Associate Treasurer of the college has agreed, after much arm twisting, to handle our 45th Reunion, which comes in the middle of June 1964, when 1918 and 1920 will be on hand. We are most fortunate in having Max, and you may be assured that the occasion will be one of our best. He will need a lot of help and many of you will be hearing from him, and we certainly would like to see a lot of people on hand who haven't been able to get to Hanover in many years. Time marches on and there are so many things to see and do - the fabulous Hopkins Center, the new Medical School, the new dormi- tories, the new Mathematics building, the new Field House and so on. How about coming up next October 11-13 for a preview?
Secretary, Box 1572, Boynton Beach, Fla.
