1910

Another chapter was written in the history of that old, well-established Tenner institution, the reunion dinner the night before the Harvard-Dartmouth football game. This year the old gang met at one of Bones Jones' institutions - one of the Schrafft restaurants. There were ten present: Maurice Blake, Nort Cushman, Bones Jones, Art Lord, Russ Meredith, Roge Pierce, Scott Perry, John Shambow, Hal Sprague, and Herb Woods. We were sorry to find that three old standbys - Art Allen, CharlieFay and Beezle Parker - were unable to celebrate with us. Charlie and Beezle were under doctors' orders; Art did not state the reason for his absence. One of the surprises was the presence of Scott Perry, all the way from Buenos Aires. Scott did not make the trip for this event. He just stayed around New England since our June 55th-year reunion in Hanover. He said in June that he wanted to see the Dartmouth football team in action. He did and we did. There is no formality about this annual gathering of Tenners. It is a real old-fashioned visit of old friends - a really enjoyable affair - good for what ails you.

A couple of old-timers with outstanding records of accomplishment behind them - Bucky Allen and Doc Foster have been honored again. Bucky's camp for boys - Camp Chewonki in Maine - has passed the fiftieth year under Bucky's management. The Chewonki Foundation, Inc., celebrated this by promoting a reception and dinner / "in honor of Clarence E. Allen." The event took place Nov. 3 in the Skyline Room, Museum of Science, Boston. We are happy to add our congratulations to Bucky.

At a joint annual meeting of the Maine Tuberculosis and Health Association and the Maine Thoracic Society, Doc Foster received the Roselle W. Huddilston Medal. This medal is given in memory of Huddilston, a former Orono resident who devoted many years to the work of the Tuberculosis Association. Doc Foster was given the award "for his contribution to the field of health." He has served many years in the Portland area as a pediatrician, has been associated with the Maine General Hospital for many years and was for 24 years chief of children's medical service. He was also on the pediatric staff of Mercy Hospital. He has contributed a great deal of time and talent to the fight against and education about tuberculosis in the schools. The honor of being made the 1965 Medalist is well deserved and we add our congratulations. Incidentally, Doc wrote on his post card to Bones Jones, in connection with the 1910 Harvard-game dinner, "Don't fumble the appetizer." Doc must have been reading about the Penn game. The news about Doc came through newspaper clips from PineoJackson and Ted Hill.

Dave Colwell couldn't make the jump from Florida to Boston for the game but he wrote, "I am sending to the game two grandchildren who are enrolled at La Salle Junior College." Inky Taylor wrote, "I was in Hanover last weekend to introduce one of my grandsons to Dartmouth. The visit stimulated my desire to see old 1910 friends. I hope I may-do so before very long. Best regards to all."

Kay Dyer had to pass up the game and dinner because of doctor's orders and JimEverett, when he wrote his post card to Bones, was "only out of the hospital about ten days" following a hernia operation. It is this kind of happenings that keeps a lot of Tenners confined to "no travel." Of course, when you reach our "fifty-five years out" you have to expect it. Heinie Reed was "grounded at present with an attack of shingles." And so it goes.

Ned Loveland tells us that he and Gladys celebrated their 50th, September 1 and their two daughters flew in from the North to help them enjoy the event with a supper and cake at Holiday Inn.

Carl Bardwell said a trip to Hanover was disappointing because there was no autumn coloring. I, too, was surprised when I saw the lack of coloring on Balch Hill, when there for the Penn game. Just wasn't natural.

Thayer Smith announces the arrival of their 25th grandchild on September 1. They drove to Tarrytown, N. Y., to see Pamela Holden Smith. In -November they planned to go to California and to Hawaii to visit children at each point. They had a three-week visit from their daughter who lives in England. It's a somewhat scattered family, we'd say.

Whit Eastman's daughter, Betty Peyton, sent his post card back, telling us that "Father and Karen are on 'birding tour' in New Zealand and Australia. Dartmouth 'birds' probably included in itinerary." And judging from past performances we'd say Betty has said it.
