1905

My faithful correspondent, Stanley Besse, writes that he had a 'phone conversation with Les Studwell, who is "getting along OK, though alone." Les does some work at the local YMCA. "Tub" had also talked with Ethel Conley, Walt's widow. She is carrying on, he says, with good courage; she had her family with her at Thanksgiv- ing. He adds that Bea MacMillan is feeling better. We hope that Bea will be entirely recovered before this note appears in print, in good time for our 60th.

We are happy to announce that BobFalconer has consented to conduct our Memorial Service next June and that NedEstes will assist at the organ. The details of time and place are not yet settled but we are assured of a dignified service. We appreciate the cooperation of these men.

It seems that Tom Keady has become a legend at Lehigh College. You will recall that he coached football there from 1912-1920. As an illustration of the rough, tough spirit that prevailed between Lafayette and Lehigh, they tell the tale that Tom, sometimes criticized for his quiet manner, proved he could rise to the occasion when the pressure got hot enough by quietly choking a leopard to death and flinging the carcass at the feet of his players. We are indebted to Rita Keady, widow of Walter Keady '34, son of our Tom, cited in Sports Illustrated, for this story.

Clearwater Beach is proving to be more and more attractive to '05 men. At any rate, Huston Lillard was considering taking Ethel there after visiting their daughter Jane in Washington about the middle of February. Roger and Jane Brown are in Anna Maria, I believe, and C.C. Hills was planning to leave Miami to go to Clear-water, or not far from there, after February 6. Incidentally, C.C. tells of almost daily visits with his daughter Mary in Miami. They enjoy the good restaurants, stores, and walks along the quiet streets in the residential areas.

S. B. Cunningham has passed on to me a very interesting letter from Chester Grover. With a rather wistful nostalgia, he expresses deep regret that he did not finish his college course with us and that he has kept so little contact with the men of '05. We hope very much that he may find it possible to renew his acquaintance with us at our impending 60th.

William A. "Putt," Greenleaf died December 19, 1964, in Auburn, Me., after a long illness. Busily occupied, after his one year at Dartmouth, in the heavy construction firm founded by his father, he had not kept much touch with his class.

After a long struggle against ill health, death came to Harry Brintnall, January 5. A lifetime devotee of golf, it was a sad day when failing health finally compelled him to put his clubs away. Because he was averse to travel, he never returned to Hanover after leaving in 1903, but he greatly valued the letters of those of us who kept in touch with him.

As to our reunion June 10, 11, 12, if you have not already made reservations, you should do so at once. Huston Lillard has been looking out for our interests and reports that there are a limited number of rooms with bath at our headquarters in Gile on the ground and first floors; also in the Inn. Contact Miss Carey or Dave Orr, in general charge of us reuners.
