1907

The foliage during these autumn days in New England has been beautiful. We wish that it could last for weeks to come, but that is too much to expect of nature.

Arthur and Elsie Taylor of Beverly, Mass., are enjoying their retirement days at home with good health, and would like to get back to Hanover this fall for the Dartmouth or Princeton game and relive the old days.

William Jennings, Bill, Box 62, La Jolla, Calif., one of our oldest classmates who had his 86th birthday on September 16, wishes to be remembered to all classmates, Keep well and smiling, Bill!

James M. Grant and Grace of Buffalo, N. Y., were in Hanover last fall and were astounded in the changes made: "Those beautiful new buildings!" Jim should know for he has been in the lumber business all his life and is still at it.

Harley E. Mann and Mattie of North Haverhill, N. H„ would enjoy visits from classmates. Carlos T. Pierce and Dorothy of Jaffrey Center, N. H., are in good health on the Littlebrook Farm. Drop in and see them anytime when you are in that vicinity.

Thomas Sullivan Field's widow Louise of Green Cove Springs, Fla., writes Bob Kenyon that Hurricane Dora was anything but gentle with her, but thanks God that she was not hurt, and neither was her house. "How it escaped I'll never know." The river was up to her front steps and she lost a 350-foot dock with a house at the end of it. She has many big trees down and it was late Friday afternoon before she could get out, so many were across the road. Louise is kept quite busy raising peacocks and pheasants which was one of Tom's hobbies.

Edward B. Barker and Alice are enjoying life at Rutherford, N. J., as are GeorgeH. Jamison and Mildred at Oelwein, Iowa, and often think of those grand years spent on the Hanover Plain.

It was a pleasure to hear from Shirley B. Cunningham '05 and Louise of .Las Cruces, N. Mex., on my 80th birthday. You will recall that Shirley was a brother of our beloved classmate, Richard Beck Cunningham, who died on March 14, 1953.

It is with great regret and sadness for me to advise you all that Tute Worthen passed away on September 9 at the Hartford Hospital. For complete information see In Memoriam of this or a subsequent issue.

Those having birthdays in November are George Hoyt on the 3rd, Clifford Norris, 7; Don Williams, 8; and Arthur Winslow, 13.

Your secretary is back to good health again and enjoys hearing from you all, so please write me often or call me on the telephone. Bob Lyons of Washington, D. C., called me last night on the telephone and spoke of the splendid informal reunion we enjoyed last June at "Dear Old Dartmouth." Bob telephones me when the spirit moves. Wonderful.

Secretary, Box 321, 8 Grafton Rd. West Upton, Mass.

Treasurer, 79 Milk St., Boston 9, Mass.
