1919
As noted in the December issue of the MAGAZINE, the Class has completed the memorialization of our deceased classmates who passed away prior to the start of the Memorial Book Program. Jack Williams has received many notes of appreciation from their widows or members of the family. Among them were Mrs. Donald Luey; Mrs. Nelson McCraw; Mrs. Arthur O'Neill; Mrs. Edwin W. Stanley, widow of Lee Bixby; Mrs. James Pelletier; Frances M. Morgan, widow of Bill Lanyon; M. D. Gray '51, son of Harvey D. Gray; Arch Giroux '23, brother of Ernie Giroux; John E. Stoughton, son of Eliot Stoughton; Mrs. L. H. Davidson, widow of Hal Davidson; Mrs. W. J. Rector, of the family of Louis Rector, and John M. Wilcox '15, brother of Dewitt G. Wilcox.
Pete Grey, of the Sail Loft in Chatham, Mass., and former stellar first baseman reports, "Not much activity to report on the Cape these days, but I must say that the '19ers make a good showing at the monthly Dartmouth Club luncheons in Hyannis. What with Art Havlin, Bill Carto, JackClark and myself being regular attendants, we are challenged only by 1921."
Don Lovejoy paid your Secretary a call around the holidays — he is still commuting between Wall Street (Bache & Co.) and the Lovejoys' fine home in nearby Gulf-stream, and shows no signs of retiring with the rest of us loafers. We hope to see Chetand Virginia Demond in Delray Beach later in the month (February) but are not sure yet. Chet writes regarding the new birthday card (just out and designed by Jim and Mary Davis), "I thought that this year's card was most attractive even though the only large type on the map spelled College Park, Memorial Field, and the cemetery. This would be all right for the young fry but it is rather suggestive to those of our generation. But I am most appreciative of the card and thankful that I can still read it."
Cotty and Kitty Larmon, at this writing, are en route for a fine trip to Japan, Hong Kong, and then a cruise through the South Seas. This should bring them back to Han-over in time for some fine spring weather. Jack McCrillis was again honored at a dinner gathering on the occasion of his retiring from the office of deputy clerk and clerk of the Sullivan County Superior Court after 41 years of service. The affair took place in Concord, N. H.
Bob and Anne Lewis are planning a Florida jaunt in February when they will probably go to their favorite haunt, Venice, and will doubtless catch up with Fred andGert Daley.
A timely note from our demon newsletter editor, Win Batchelder, reports on the annual Boston Alumni Dinner. The following '19ers were present - Batch and Harriet, Bea and Spider Martin, Jack and Helen Reilly, Les and Mabel Wheeler, Henry Clay with daughter Phyllis, Doris and Howie Cole, John Shelburne, Nocky Wallis, Herb Fleming and Bunny and Betty Burnett. Wonder what happened to the Cape Cod contingent - that is, the rest of them? Maybe it snowed.
A l Taylor, from whom we haven't heard in years, writes from Washington, "Thanks for my birthday greetings. My 70th. If you haven't had yours it can't be far away. Of course, 1919 is still on the map (this refers to our new birthday card). I note that your card was mailed from Delray Beach, Fla. Considering the weather up here, that's not a bad idea either." You are right, Al, the weather so far this winter has been wonderful and the various Chambers of Commerce for once have been right.
