Kanky and Mildred Chun have ten grandchildren and that keeps them busy. Every so often they need a rest and take a trip. The most recent one was a complete circle of the U.S. via Greyhound bus, San Francisco, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Niagara Falls, Boston, New York World's Fair, Miami, Key West, and New Orleans. Bus fare $99.00 for 99 days. Kanky wants to be remembered to Herb Home, Karl Klaren, Bob Whitting-hill, Ted Shapleigh, Babe Miner, Charles Zimmerman, and Irish Flanigan.
Lou Wilcox reports that Vic Barney and Ted Barstow are looking for locations in Hanover for retirement. Karl and LeeKlaren are in Puerto Rico for the winter months. Ralph Dunton has another grandson. Frank and Gladys Doten are redecorating their home on Rip Road.
Ruth Billings, one of my pet correspondents, writes as follows: "You know Rog won't write — even to me — bless him. We are in Sarasota — have sold our house and are living in an apartment temporarily while we wait to have a new house to be built. The old one was too small to take care of all our grandchildren when they visit us. We expect the house will be done in three months.
"Rog as you know is practically retired — Chairman of the Board — until he is 65 which will be another year. However, this enables us to be in his beloved Florida about 5 or 6 months, Wellesley, 4 — and Chatham, 3. We came down in November. Went to New Jersey and spent Christmas with Marcia and her family. Then we flew to Boston where we had an after Christmas party with Bill and Stan and their families. Then we flew to Miami and had ten days doing the East Coast before we returned here. May 27 we are sailing to Europe again. This time to Scandinavia and a few weeks in England to see where that Billings crowd came from and to Scotland to see where the clan of mine originated."
Al Hovey lives on Village Street in Northford, Conn. In front of this house is a giant pine tree — 100 years old. During the week Olin Mathieson keeps him very busy. He and Bessie thoroughly enjoyed the Princeton weekend in Hanover.
Roy Hayes retired last May after representing Hershey Chocolate Corporation for 36 years in western New York state. He and Marion have spent two months visiting a daughter in Sacramento and touring California — then to Washington, D. C., to visit another daughter - then to Florida for a month.
It is always a pleasure to read Dr. JimHennessey's letters. He is practicing medicine as usual in Hartford. He manages to get a golf game in every so often and continues to marvel how very busy CharlesZimmerman is and how much territory he covers.
Annually for the past seven years StuieKnight and Bill Welch have fished the best spots on the West Coast of Mexico above Acapulco including Mazatlan and La Paz and San Lucas on Baja California. This February they included Club dePescade, Panama where Stuie boated a 420 1b. Black Marlin which was the largest brought in up to that time.
William H. (Bill) Taylor is recovering slowly from two strokes which laid him low for a time a year ago. Last August, while undergoing therapy he fell and broke his hip. A bi-monthly, hand written note or card to him at U.S. Veterans Hospital Orthopedic Surgery, 7 North Ist Ave. at 24th Street, New York City would certainly cheer him up during the next few months when he is learning to walk again.
It was a Dartmouth Professor of Journalism, the late Eric Kelly, who said Bill was the only Dartmouth alumnus to ever win the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism which he did in 1935 in the field of reporting (Lipton Cup Races). Bill was yachting editor for the New York Herald Tribune for many years until his illness in February 1964. He judged many Bermuda and New York Club races and was one of the national directors of the Cruising Club of America.
Bill Kimball's newest venture is the Island Inn, Sanibel, Fla. This inn is an eld establishment, for many years family owned, which was purchased in 1957 by a group of old time guests which included many prominent Chicago families. Bill is president of the Sanibel Company and one of his duties in September was to break in a new manager. One new building was completely done last fall and all profits are plowed under back into the establishment.
The company has 600 feet of perfect beach. This beach according to Bill is a bird watchers' paradise. Also it is the third or fourth most wonderful shelling beach in the world.
Bill also gives us the good news that money is about to be advanced for Gulf Harbors for improvements and that this project will soon be back on the track again.
Art Everit had a bad session of what the sawbones call asthma in October. He spent a week in the hospital in Petosky and is now completely cured. Art writes Sam andMim Horne as follows: "Snapped me out of it entirely and I feel fine, but hells' bells, they took me off cigarettes and I have stayed with the ruling religiously. What really gripes is that I always figured if I went off cigarettes I would have considerable amounts of dough to spend for Seven Crown and I can't see that I do. But it is worth it all to be rid of that cough I had for all too long."
