1920

Bill Carter gave a fine accounting in the TWENTY green sheet of the good gathering of '20s at Leverone Field House before the Penn game in Hanover and what a good time everybody had at the Sampsons' openhouse party after the game.

Those who gathered in Cambridge before the Harvard-Dartmouth game and others who were at the game were Charles and Elsa Crathern, Eben and Ruth Wallace, Buttons and Eva Hill, Ken and Hilda Spalding, Mel and Helen Merritt, Gugga and Josephine Fiske, Paul and Lydia Hutchinson, Mugs and Lucia Morrill, George and Hazel Macomber; and, Charlie McGoughran was released from his episode of testing in Dick's House in Hanover just in time for him to get to the game.

At the Brown game we sat beside Boband Helen Farwell of Pawtucket, R. I. Bob has retired after 35 years with DuPont and is enjoying life with golf, gardening, traveling, and hospital work.

Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel, on their way home from their stay in Canaan over the foliage week and the Penn game, met and had lunch in Portsmouth with Jack andAnna Lappin, and report they looked fit and fine.

Yale-Dartmouth - Whew! What a game! Finally the score shifted in Dartmouth's favor but there were anxious moments. The seats were not allotted well so it was not much of a get-together. I saw the Stenholtzs and we know Art and Peg Smith were there and Sherry and Elizabeth Baketel were supposed to be there also although we didn't get to see them.

A word from Russ Keep tells that he retired at the end of '61 but still serves on a few boards so that he keeps in touch with things. He said that while lunching at the famous St. Regis recently he ran across no other than Jim Chilcott, suave as always. Jim, by the way, gets around having run across Frank Morey in Glens Falls, N. Y. He reports that Frank looks just the same as on campus although he is now retired and running for Assemblyman-at-Large. Let's all root for him!! Dud Page has just retired from the Ohio Casualty after 40 years of service. Dutch Wilkie, although recently retired has been in and out of the hospital, but is now on the road to recovery. Wade Smith is now living at Pebble Beach, and although he misses his old friends in the East he does like living in California. Dal Dalrymple seems to think he has chosen the ideal spot for retirement in Meriden, N. H. He is 13 miles from Claremont, 10 miles from White River Jet., 7 miles from Lebanon, and 14 miles from Hanover, and just next door to Kimball Union. He is treasurer of the Meriden Congregational Church which keeps his hands in the money, and he and Margaret are happy in their new life. John and Ann Felli are enjoying their new home in Southold Bay, L. I., with a gorgeous view and good earth for agriculture; and being near their three daughters and grandchildren, they have no idle hours. I am always grateful to BudWeymouth for sending clippings and happenings in and around Hanover.

Joe Brewer is one of the few remaining on the job. He is still in the rat race of the Queens College Library and still in the same apartment at 430 E. 63rd Street, N. Y. but likes it. Al Osborn has been in the St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, N. J., for a couple of weeks according to his secretary. Perhaps, and hopefully, by now he has recovered and home again. Jack Brotherhood has changed his role from a Connecticut Yankee to a Florida Cracker as he has moved to Delray Beach in Florida. His son, John Jr. 'SO (Phi Beta) still lives in Hartford, Conn., and is vice president of the Hartford National Bank there. Another '20 now living in. Florida is Wes Jones who has, since 1951 lived at 3418 Washington Road, West Palm Beach the year 'round - and likes it. Art Smith of the Hartford Courant has recovered from his illness of a year ago and although he is feeling very fit, he plans to retire the first of December. Rabbit Yuill is another to join the rocking chair club. He has retired and is now on emeritus status. And still another, Hitch Hitchcock is enjoying retirement, boating off Essex, Conn., and spending a couple months of the winter in Florida. The last time we heard from Ken Hussey he was on the fence about retiring. He did retire, however, as of February 1965 and hope all is well. Almus Russell has just returned from ten weeks in Europe having retired from Bloomsburg (Pa.) State College in August. He is secretary of the local Rotary Club and Conservation Editor of the Outdoor Journal, and plans to devote his spare time to research, travel and writing. Hib Ricfater has given up the idea of living on the East Coast of Florida in winter and has bought a retirement home in Augusta, Me., and plans to settle there having retired from the Small Business Administration last year, and divide his time between Maine and his summer place on Newfound Lake in Bristol, N. H. A note from Phil Kiffield tells that he has no intention of retiring as there is no mandatory age limit in his highway work. He has and is enjoying eleven grandchildren. Another not thinking in terms of retirement is Hal Clark. He lives in Scarsdale and commutes daily to New York and enjoys his works at Bellevue and University Hospitals.

And now I am sorry to have to come to the very sad news: Pat Tobin died in the Bryn Mawr Hospital on October 13 after a short illness; Sal Andretta died October 19 in the National Institutes of Health having been sick for several months with a rare muscular disease; and last, but not least. Bun Harvey died October 27. Bun and Dot were up at Pecketts on Sugar Hill in Franconia for the foliage week but the weather proved to be cold, raw, and penetrating the greater part of the time which was not good for Bun with his heart condition. Hazel an I went up to see them one day while they were there. Nate and Mildred Whiteside were at Pecketts that week also, and believe it or not, Walk and Ethel Fielding stayed over one night as they were going over the foliage trail. When Bun got back to Wellesley his doctor sent him in to Phillips House of Massachusetts General Hospital for treatment as it was getting increasingly difficult for Bun to breathe. He did not, however, respond to treatment as was hoped.

There was a memorial service at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Wellesley on October 29 at which his many business, church, and college friends gathered to pay tribute to Bun, so fair, so well liked, and so respected by all. The Class was represented by the Mugs Morrills, Paul Hutchinsons, Ken Spaldings, Eben Wallaces, Mel Merritts, Dick Southwicks, George Macombers, Red Tillson, Gugga Fiske, and Ellen Ayres. It was a sad coincidence that it was two years to the day since Beit Ayres died. Everybody seemed reluctant to leave so we all went up to Paul and Lydia Hutchinson's spacious home in Weston. In Memoriam notices will appear in this or a subsequent issue and the surviving members of the families of these three esteemed classmates have the deep and sincere sympathy of all the Class.

In lieu of flowers some class friends have been making contributions for a book to be placed in Baker Library in memory of a classmate who has passed away. This is a gesture greatly appreciated by the families, and is an appropriate and lasting tribute. A check for this purpose may be made to the Class of 1920 and sent to Al Frey who will see that it is taken care of.

E. Grosvenor Plowman having retired as deputy undersecretary of commerce in Washington spent a large part of his life solving transportation problems for government and industry. He is now known as the "Flying Professor." He is teaching at the University at Portland, Me., and at the Northeastern University in Boston. He plans to fly from Portland to Boston for his N.U. classes in business logistics and jump a return plane in order to get back to Maine for his business administration classes. He was at one time a U. S. Steel Corp. vice president, and although he is teaching business administration now is in the thick of transportation again as he is serving as a consultant without pay to the city Chamber of Commerce attempting to save Portland's bus system.

By the time you get this MAGAZINE the turkey holidays will be over and it will be well on toward Christmas — so - SEASONS GREETINGS to you all, and keep well!

This group of Harvard Game "tail-gaters" included (l to r) Richard Litchfield'22, George and Hazel Macomber '20, Eben Wallace '20, and Charles Crathern '20.
