1930

The next 1930 gathering will be at the Harvard Club in Boston on Friday, March 31, to honor a group of classmates whose careers have been in secondary education.

All '30 men will be saddened also to learn of the sudden death of Al McGrath at his home on Sunday, January 15. He and his daughter Suzanne had been at the Dartmouth-Princeton hockey game in Princeton the day before, with Bud French and Jack Wooster, and he was his usual gay self. Sunday noon Al phoned Suzanne complaining of chest pains and before he could be taken to the hospital he had passed away, apparently of a heart attack. Eddie and Timmie Jeremiah, Al's very close friends, went down from Hanover to assist Suzanne, who resides at 15 River Park, White Plains, N. Y.
