1908

Henry Emery wrote as of February 6 that he hoped to be in Hanover for our reunion but expected to have to go to the hospital for an operation.

Dick Carpenter '10 reports that DonFrothingham established a fund with the College in memory of his son Don Jr. '43 who was killed in an airplane crash in 1943 while training with the U. S. Transport Command.

Life Greeley writes: "With half of Cuba arriving in Miami and overflowing into St. Petersburg I don't know but it would be a good plan to visit Hanover in June not only for the reunion but possibly to find some nice cave in the mountains and set up housekeeping there, because expenses do not decline."

Roger Hill reports from Detroit that they decided not to go to Vero Beach this spring but to take a trip to Hanover and Boston later on and adds: "It has been a comparatively cold winter here, but fortunately Detroit does not get much snow, not like Buffalo, Cleveland, and other parts of Michigan. Mrs. Hill and I are both quite well so statistics remain as previously reported to you."

Dick Merrill, as of February 21 reported that he had a phone call from Kid Richardson the day before. Kid was still going strong, selling real estate and gambling, at the races and at Las Vegas. "Helen and I are about as we have been for the past year, a little slowed - up and a lot more forgetful." (Aren't we all. S.L.R.)

Bert Thwing reports: Circumstances beyond my control will stop my usual hegira to Vero and probably to Hanover but may be able to make the latter, I hope. Letters from Treadway advise that the Royal Park Inn has been sold again. The place was sold last year but the deal fell through for some reason and he gave no details of this one. Seemed uncertain as to whether he would be there next season. Hope so for he is much attached to the place especially with the many plants he has introduced there and at this hobby he spends hours. 1962 most all year and winterwise so far has been miserable. I like winter climate better than the sunny climes but not this one. Physically I feel fine and my perverted sense of humor was never better so am not planning to have my life insurance cashed in right away. Getting a little restless to get back to my reservation in the Laurentians "where all nature is sublime and only man is vile." It is quite isolated so am not bothered by unasked visitors. ,

Your editor regrets to report another death in the class, the fourth this winter. Arthur Anderson of Concord, N.H., who suffered a shock about two years ago passed away in the Concord Hospital with pneumonia on February 10 following a second shock a few days previously. Your editor and Ralph Sherburne represented our class and George Liscomb '07 at the funeral on February 12. A floral piece of a green pillow with 1908 in white carnations was given in the name of the class for which Mrs. Anderson extended her appreciation. Details of Art's life will be found in the In Memoriam section of this or a subsequent issue.

The leaves are falling fast but there still remain 94 listed on the 1908 roll.
