1918

The Class will be distressed to learn that George A. Saltmarsh Jr. passed away on October 6, 1967. He is survived by his wife, Margaret Boynton Saltmarsh, whose address is R.F.D. Fremont, N. H. 03044. We are sure that Mrs. Saltmarsh would like to hear from his friends in the Class.

On October 1 I was very much surprised when the telephone rang to find Bob Fish calling. It seems that he and Mildred had come to Boston after a longer visit in New York City. Unfortunately we could not drive in to see them at their motel because of commitments which we could not break. Bob seems quite well in spite of his handicaps, and, as usual, was full of vinegar. He now has seven grandchildren, spread throughout the United States and is extremely proud of all of them. He reported that Stan Jones seems to be better but was still confined at home. Bob also reports that Stan reads every scrap of Dartmouth information that he receives and is particularly appreciative of letters which his classmates write him. We hope that the classmates will continue to write to Stan and tell him about their various activities.

The Holy Cross Game was held on a very delightful afternoon when the foliage was at its peak. It was a rare privilege to sit in the stands and look out over beautiful Balch Hill. Of course, the score was very satisfactory from our angle, so one could not have spent a happier afternoon than watching that football game. We estimate that approximately thirty classmates, wives, and friends met at the Montshire Restaurant before the game where we had an excellent lunch. We had time to talk with many of our classmates and find out what they had been doing during the summer months. We were particularly happy to see Hubie McDonough and his charming new wife. We enjoyed our stay at the Chieftain Motel where Jasper and Ann Johnston and Dickand Marian White were also staying.

We want to thank Stump Barr and his committee for arranging the luncheon at the Montshire, and also to thank George andPat Stoddard for having a congenial cocktail party after the game.

Paul Moyer writes Tom Bryant as follows: "I have intended to write you for some time since I arrived here in Baltimore, but Louise and I have been so busy getting our new apartment in shape that we have had little time to get in touch with our friends. We felt quite unhappy to leave Rhode Island after 44 years there. Naturally we miss our many friends there. Now, however, we are close to our two sons, one here in Baltimore and the other in Alexandria, Va."

A long letter from Doris Davis written from Haverhill, Mass., states that she does not think that George will be able to make the Fiftieth Reunion. He was compelled to retire from his law firm because of illness. She writes: "We enjoy our three children, their wives and husband, and our seven grandchildren whenever they are able to visit in this area; and still have much to be thankful for."

A note from Brainerd Bomham states: "I am now 72 and still working a 45-hour week, but the nights 'on the town' are few and far between. No definite plans for the Golden Round-Up but I am thinking about it."

Eddie and Kathy Ferguson have recently taken a boat trip from New York to Montreal on the "S.S. Brazil." They stopped at the Gaspé Peninsula and Quebec City. They went to Expo '67, which they thought was tremendous. They were fortunate in that they could sleep and get their meals on the boat the three days they were at the Exposition. They were both very enthusiastic about the whole trip.

Jake Bingham has agreed to and has been appointed Class Historian, and recipient of all old photos, pressed ffowers, theater ticket stubs, memory books, which we all have been accumulating in the attic. If you send them to him he will sort these nostalgic trivia for display at our Golden Round-Up.

You will be proud to learn that JbrancisT. Christy has been made chairman of the Distribution Committee of the New York Community Trust. The Committee is responsible for distributions from the 200 individual charitable funds of the Philanthropic Agency and its corporate affiliate, Community Funds, Inc. Francis is senior partner in the law firm of Christy, Baumann, Frey and Christy.

We recently heard that Lymie Burgess, now a tax specialist of Springfield, Mass., has agreed to teach a course in federal and state taxation which will be offered in the evening division of Holyoke Community College.

As you remember, after Lymie graduated from Dartmouth he went to Western New England College Law School. He has had experience in investment banking and institutional investments, and has been tax representative for Prentice-Hall, Inc., in northern Connecticut and western Massachusetts, We are impressed that he could find time to take on this assignment and still continue his vocation of tax specialist.

A note from Hal Bruette states that he has just retired. He still plays a daily nine holes of golf when weather permits.

The Harvard-Dartmouth game was a weekend of fun. There were eight couples and one single staying at Brae Burn ana five couples staying at the Holiday Inn Motel in Newton. At least 65 classmates and their wives were guests of Barbara and Harvey Hood for their luncheon before the game. Forty or more were present for cocktails and dinner at Brae Burn after the game. What a game that was! We'll tell you all about it next issue.
