1899

Last October the Executive Committee expressed some doubt as to holding a Round-Up in '63, and concentrating instead on the Sixty-Fifth Reunion in Hanover in '64. Then unexpectedly. Cliff and Julia Fifield said, "There ought to be a Round-Up as usual in '63," and offered to take complete charge of arrangements themselves. The Committee could only say, "Thanks, that's wonderful!" Therefore, mark you, everybody: Highway Hotel in Concord, as in '62; Saturday noon, August 3. So spread the news! Details later.

Isabel (Mrs. Albert) Galusha and Ranney may make this Round-Up. They missed the one last year because grandson Howard Bartley had just returned from earning his MA. in Spanish and Russian in the University of Madrid. Then summer work on a Wyoming ranch; now, a teaching fellowship at Stanford. Isabel after summering with her sisters in Burlington now has her private apartment in Ranney's and Marjorie's new home, 315 Mountain Ave., North Caldwell, N. J. Elmer Barstow's daughter Marie and husband Bob Sharp '25 had too many engagements last July between visitors at their Maine island camp and weeding and trimming at their Foxboro farm, so missed the Round-Up. Incidentally, Marie was editing a pamphlet celebrating their island's seventy-fifth anniversary.

Here now is the sequel to that brief mention in November of Fod Martin. First a week in White River Junction with the Herbert Millers; then several weeks with his Rutland sister. There, 34 different friends looked him up; finally, return to South Portland via Crawford Notch. A month later Hurricane Daisy "swished the hem of her garments across the area." Ten inches of rain, and 30-foot waves at Cape Elizabeth.

That Class of 1966 again: (1) George andVirgil Rounds' granddaughter "Penny," daughter of Mary Ann and George Jr. '42, in Women's College of North Carolina; (2) Sam Burns's grandson Sam, son of Barbara and Gitf Stewart (Harvard '27) in Institute of Mining and Technology in New Mexico.

Bill Greenwood's son Jack '36 with Peggy leaves West Hartford, Conn., for 29 East Coolspring St., Michigan City, Ind., and Bones Woodward's son Bob '39 with Virginia leaves Orangeburg, N. Y., for Home Tooke Road, Palisades, N. Y. HawleyChase's winter address: Biscayne Plaza Hotel, P.O. Box 1029, Miami.

Joe Gannon's Christmas in West Hartford was highlighted by his three daughters: Genevieve with Winter Read right next door, Frances Danesi from Maryland, and Helen Temple from Long Island. The gay reunion was gayer because of Genevieve's daughter "Pat" Carpenter with husband Roy and five children, including those four boys, eligible wearers later of the Dartmouth Green.

Grace (Mrs. Motley) Sargeant says that daughter Miriam and family may be home after ten years in England. Her husband, Kenneth Packard, has been Navy Inspector in the U.S. London office. Last fall Grace's son Howland '32 had four weeks' work in Spain and Munich, then a two-week vacation touring Greece. The story of Radio Liberty, sponsored by the American Committee for Liberation (of which Howland is president), makes exciting reading. It broadcasts in seventeen languages twenty-four hours daily. Their broadcast covered the Cuban crisis hourly, correcting omissions and distortions of Soviet propaganda. Grace is much interested in news of George and Marie Prescott's son Allen; years ago she and Mott lived near them. Eleven great-grandchildren now for George: Allen's daughter Janet has three girls and a boy, and his son Allen Jr. has seven boys.
