1902

Word has reached us of the death of ThadMerrill, on May 1, 1967, at a nursing home in Aurora, Iĺ. He was one of the oldest men of our class, having been born in Hinkley, Ill., on Dec. 18, 1877. He was with us such a short time that probably few remember him clearly. If anyone does, please let us know. We would welcome any personal reminiscences of his long career. We know that he was interested in the College, not only because he came to Dartmouth in the first place, but because, many years later he made a contribution to the Alumni Fund. He is survived by his widow, who was, at last report, living in the same nursing home as Thad, but was in very feeble health. They had two daughters, both married.

By contrast, we have more immediate news of Jimmy Huntington, whom of course we all remember. His wife reports, that he keeps cheerful through all the pain and suffering of what seems a permanent stay at the Kane Nursing Home, Amherst, Mass. (01002, if you wish to write). He can do practically nothing for himself. It may be news to some that Jim was married to Miss Genevieve Keefe, on Dec. 29, 1944. She was a career woman of long standing in Amherst and has been compelled to return to work since the incapacity of her husband. Among other things she is now in charge of the Graduate House of Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. We welcome her belatedly to our 'O2 Fellowship, and wish it were under happier circumstances.

Another classmate that all will be glad to hear about is Fred Bradley. A report at our 65th Reunion by our very enterprising California delegation, that Fred could not be reached by telephone in Monrovia, shows a lack of persistence that we do not ordinarily associate with that group. He writes that we would find him changed physically because of lack of hair and maximum wrinkles, since those days in Elm House where he and I used to carry up coals for our stoves, and break the ice in our wash basins in winter. Mentally however he feels himself as much a "member of the opposition" as ever. It is a joy to read what he writes. Personally, I do not find him as unorthodox as he claims.

Members of the SUASCO (Sudbury, Asipic and Concord Rivers) Club, Dartmouth'snewest, traveled in style to Amherst, Mass., for the UMass football game.
