1929

Hope you all read Jack Hubbard's interesting communication to the members of the Class of '29, along with his appeal for the prompt payment of dues. We are batting around .600, which is not bad, but which could be better. .. . Mort Jaquith sends along a most fascinating letter, detailing a trip to the top of Mount Washington on October 30, 1927. He encloses a picture which we will send along to Bob Monahan for better individual identification. . . .

We caught a picture in a New Hampshire paper of John Dickey greeting an old friend, George A. Morgan, the U. S. Ambassador to the Ivory Coast... . Governor John King recently signed a bill affecting the Board of Trustees of the College, allowing appointment of out-of-state trustees to fill vacancies. Dud Orr, as one of the trustees of the College, was present at the signing

Canaan, N. H., note: Postmaster and Mrs.Stanley Bogardus visited their son Frank in Idaho during a vacation motor trip of three weeks.... From the Manchester Union comes news of a hold-up and robbery of the North Hampton branch bank, with the Peerless Insurance Company covering the loss in full less than three hours after the robbery. Noel Salomon is a bank director and agent for the insurance company! ... Bob Lyle, our assiduous correspondent from the Southwest, writes that his Hockaday School now offers a course in Anthropology, and that they have a language program in which girls may obtain five years' credit in Latin, French or Spanish, including Advanced Placement, as well as two years of German. Bob notes that Cal Soriero has gone in for cattle ranching. He says, "I can't quite equal him, but a couple of years ago we purchased some acreage in East Texas as a kind of retreat. I can only hope that there's oil beneath the surface —at a level where it can be found and accessible to a degree where it can be of benefit to interested parties. If ever you or other members of the class are in Dallas, I do hope you will come out to see me at the Hockaday School or to our home, which is close by."

George Salyer also writes: "After almost 38 years with Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, N. Y., I retired on April 1. During most of that time I was concerned pri- marily with marketing. Shortly after that we cut all ties with the East and moved out here (San Luis Obispo), primarily so that we could be somewhere near our daughter, Mrs. Audrey Perkins, who lives in Vernon, Calif. This town is a part of California which has not yet really met a heavy population explosion and which seems an ideal spot for retirement. Duplicate Bridge continues to be my chief hobby and, in that respect I keep busy since there are two clubs here in town. I'm looking forward to getting in some fishing and some trips to explore the California back country after we get fully settled."

Tim Montfort has just finished a stint as National Press Club Manager in Washington. ... Ralph Ardiff was recently named Campaign Chairman for the Danvers United Fund. Ralph, an attorney, is a graduate of Cornell Law School, arid has a Master's degree in Tax Law.

Bill Morgan writes: "It has been a long time since I've sent any information along for the Class News, but two happy occasions in my life have prompted this letter. First, on June 17, my daughter Nancy, Colby Junior College, 1965, was married to Owen D. Young Jr., Hobart 1967. _My son-in-law is from Shaker Heights, Ohio, a nice guy, and we are glad to welcome him into the family. Second, on June 24, I married Mrs. Elna Diggin of Monmouth Beach, N. J., a very fine and gracious lady and a most welcome addition to the Morgan tribe. Both ceremonies took place in the same church in Rumson, N. J., with the same minister officiating, but one week apart. A strange circumstance surrounds Elna and me. Her daughter Diana is my daughter-in- law, married to my son Spencer, Dartmouth 1960, but is now also my step-daughter. Spencer, Etna's son-in-law, is now her step- son. What the status of their two children, our grandchildren, is, has become slightly confused. Happily, neither Elna nor I can accuse one or the other of making a grandparent of each other. Nothing like togetherness. Hope this letter finds you in fine fettle." This doesn't sound too unusual for the class of 1929, now does it?
