1905

No other member of our Class keeps in quite such close contact with our membership as does our active treasurer and class agent, Roger Brown. He makes personal calls not only on our classmates in New England, but in Florida. Your secretary would appreciate having more of you "take pen in hand" and keep him up to date on any bits of news.

It is to Roger that I am indebted for many of the following items. In Hanover, where he is a fairly frequent visitor, Roger attended the New Hampshire and Penn games. He had the pleasure there of having several meals with C.C. Hills. The latter is well and was expecting to start for Florida before the middle of November. Roger also attended the exciting Harvard game, but he doesn't mention seeing any other 'OS men there.

Other contacts mentioned by Roger: Harold Haskell and his daughter Ann in Nashua (my native city) seemed well and happy. (We were disappointed that they didn't get to our reunion last summer.) Charlie andJessie Brooks were in their usual health and had the Browns to dinner. They spoke of how much they enjoyed our reunion. With Will Smart '07, Roger called on Helen, Oscar Gilbert's widow, in her lovely home in Exeter.

One more bit of news from the same source: John Tuck is not in very good health but has flown to Florida with his son Edward '50.

As mentioned, the flight to Florida is on. John and Lucy Bell left New Hampshire some time ago. Fred Chase has written that he expects to be off for Dunedin, November 9. His son Hugh '36 and wife will occupy Fred's home in Milton for the winter as usual. Fred has done some class visiting also. On his way to visit his brother Philip "07 at Kennebunk Beach Fred called on Ned Estes in So. Berwick, Me., and found him well and happily busy with his music. He also enjoyed a call on Ed and MayAlice Richardson in Dover, N. H. As it happened, their son John and wife and teen-age daughter were there. John teaches English at the University of New Hampshire.

We have sadly to report two deaths. FredWeston passed on October 20. He had been in hospital in his native town, Middle boro, Mass. Fred was steadfastly loyal to his Class and College and was a regular attendant at class reunions when possible.

Henry Norton died October 12 in San Rafael, Calif., where he had made his home in recent years. He was a man of most extraordinarily broad interests and varied experiences and achievements. I quote from the closing words of the address given at Henry's Memorial Service at Rock Ledge, his home, by Easton Rothwell, president of Mills College.

"The shadow of a man is long in proportion as his roots are deep, in proportion as his restless mind has reached upward and onward for meaning. Henry's shadow reached to the horizon. Wherever it touches there is the awakening of bright new life, new thought."
