1901

A letter from Bessie and Tom McGovern in part follows: "Thank you very much for your kind remembrance of my 87th birthday. Yes, I go to Boston three times each week. I am afraid, Frank, that you do not follow the Old Farmers' Almanac. You suggested that I send you some news before February 29. This certainly gives me a lot of time (1968!). I am sorry to say that during the past two years we have not been in Hanover and it seems that we have lost touch with old town and its sweet memories. However we hope to be present at the reunion in June '66." Good for you and Bessie, Tom, and thank you for being prompt so that I could get the news to the class in time.

We are glad to hear about Claude Butterfield from Mildred. "On Claude's behalf, I thank you for the birthday message, he was very pleased to hear from you. As you know Claude has been ill for three and a half years, in the hospital much of the time. At present he is in the Cape Cod Nursing Home, Buzzards Bay, Mass. He is usually quite cheerful and as happy as he can be under the circumstances. He is suffering from paralysis. I visit him three times a week; I drive about eighty miles. Claude would appreciate a card from any of his classmates."

From Chan Cox: "Thank you for your nice letter with birthday greetings. We had a real pleasant family party last night and I heard from some old friends so it does not seem too tough to start the 87th. If things with us in June are as of now I hope we may be there for the reunion. I did attend Stanley Qua's funeral in November. In Febniary we had our Boston Alumni Dinner with about 1200 attending. It was largely a football celebration. But they gave me a Greeting as the oldest former president and as the oldest guy present. Some friends who have been spending the winter at Vining Park ( a hotel in St. Petersburg) write they are terrifically upset because bingo is no longer permissible - sad?"

Frank Cudworth attended the Dartmouth alumni luncheon held at the Yacht Club here in St. Petersburg. The speaker was Prof James Cusick who is in charge of the Alumni College at Hanover. He gave a fine talk on the aims of the school and spoke at length on the courses offered and the problems of the day which will be discussed. There were 75 present of which about 25 were ladies. Each year they call the classes by years beginning with the youngest and going back. When 1901 was called I had to bow to Mr. Bigelow, class of 1900 as being the oldest alumnus present.

This will acknowledge, with thanks, receipt of a letter from Mrs. Dudley Orr of Concord, N. H., notifying us of the death of her uncle, Howard Hall, which was included in the January issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
