1919
On our way South we stopped in Davidson, N. C., to see the Burling Naramores (D '33) and while there had a nice visit with Doc (A.V.) Goldiere, Professor of French in Davidson College, a very attractive and fine school. Goldy and Janet plan to retire next June, and possibly take a trip to the south of France. He reports that Ray and Harriet Hinds, another of the retired contingent, are spending part of the winter in Spain. A nice note from Helen Salmon, widow of Dana indicates again how much the widows of the class appreciate our Memorial Book Program, quoting, "No one can realize how deeply touched I was to receive the notice that a rare and beautiful book will be placed in the Dartmouth Library carrying a plate inscribed with Dana's name as a living memory. The account of Dana's passing in the ALUMNI MAGAZINE was very nice, too. I do so enjoy the MAGAZINE."
Kenneth D. and Catherine Smith, of Staten Island, are off again on their fifth World Cruise on the Caronia. A note from ErnieRautenberg: "Just returned from a two-month trip through Western Europe. We visited our youngest daughter in The Hague (her husband is with Dow Chemical Co.). We have the youthful vigor to stand up under 37 days on bus tours of Iceland, England, Scotland, France, and Spain." NockWallis notes, "I have slowed down to a walk but am still a ways from retiring. Now-a-days I do my visiting with my grandchildren - five - including two granddaughters, one going on two, cute as all get-out; one in each son's family." A letter from Alex Warden, publisher of the Great Falls (Mont.) Tribune Leader, is always good for a laugh, quoting: "At breakfast this morning I said to my long-suffering spouse, 'You know I don't feel so hot and it's even money whether I'll ever make my Fiftieth Reunion. Further-more, it's disturbing to find that about the only familiar part of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is a section devoted to obituaries, of which there are too damn many. Hence, I think we better find some way to get back to the reunion next fall.' My dove has long since learned not to argue with me because it makes me so mad. As a matter of fact, she keeps a bag packed at all times ready to take a trip. What I have been leading to is a request to let me know when the dates are set for the gathering next October. In recent years we have been stymied because I am a director of an airline which always has an October meeting. But if I know the reunion dates it may be possible for me to switch the airline dates so that I can make both." If you read the January issue of the MAGAZINE, Alex, you noted that October 11-13 are the dates for the<Fall 1963 gathering and all of us hope you will be on hand - it is a real fun party.
Recent address changes include Arthur Brentano Jr., 8008 Midnight Pass Road, Sarasota, Fla., Frederick M. Daley, Rt. 1, Box 889, Venice, Fla., also Louis H. Haerle, Box 221, R.R. 1, Zionsville, Ind.
Bunny Lodge, of Albany, N. Y., checks in: "Sorry we missed the Penn game and luncheon at the Inn. Winnie went to the hospital the night before the game and stayed there over three weeks. The Friday evening before the game I was planning to take my daughter but the doctor said that I had better stay home. Winnie has recovered nicely and we hope to make it next year." Budd Welsh notes to Ray Adams that "Last Monday I made a special effort to attend the class luncheon in New York at the Dartmouth Club. There were nine of us and it was most enjoyable to renew acquaintances. Perhaps you know that NickSandoe is now president of the Club. Others present were Colwell, Webster. Huntington, Stone, Munro Robinson and Wentz Ruml, who was making his first contact with the class in many years. He is now retired from the Travelers Insurance Company. Many subjects were covered which were of interest to all."
San Treat is an occasional attendant at these luncheons, which come on the first Monday of every month (summer excluded) and a note from him and lane indicates that all is well with the Treats.
As of early January, your Secretary hasn't had a chance to check up on the various '19ers in the Sunshine State, but hopes to do so soon. Jim Wilson reports that he and Polly will be in nearby Delray in March and we sure hope to get together. Paul Halloran reports that work on the "Sound of Dartmouth" on which he is working with John Chlpman (you read about this in the January issue of the MAGAZINE) is progressing in rapid fire style. A copy of this list of old-time songs is a must for your Secretary and he hopes that a lot of '19ers feel likewise.
Secretary, Box 1592, Boynton Beach, Fla.
Treasurer, 184 Summer St., Springfield, Vt.
