Class Agent, Care John H. Lewis 125 Walnut St., Watertown, Mass. 02172
We are glad to report that Arthur Lewis, though seriously ill, is continuing as Class Agent for the Alumni Fund, with his son "Jack" as his able assistant as last year and the same associates, Treadway, Stickney, Currier, and Symmes. Syd Ruggles will act as liaison with headquarters in Hanover. Let's do a good job for good old Art Lewis.
NEWS FROM CLASSMATES
"Pop" Chesley to Larry S.: "Still plodding along, as it were, and trust the good Lord lets me hang around until after the 60th." But Walter Jones, who is an adopted member of 1908, sent in a clipping from a Utica paper with a picture of "Pop" and members of local 128, International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees. The picture shows "Pop" receiving a plaque for "30 years of co-operation" with the union.
Walter adds a note that he is the oldest member of the class of 1908, real or adopted, born April, 1877; a widower and has six great-grandchildren. Who can beat that?
Walter Furman wrote that "Honker"Joyce had been quite ill and spent some time in a hospital and is now at home under nursing care. Honker would be glad to hear from classmates and we suggest that his old friends write to him at his home.
Walter also wrote concerning himself. "Sometimes I wonder what I ever did to deserve the pleasant healthful old age I am enjoying. Whoever is running the universe doesn't always distribute his favors very impartially, it would seem."
John (Rosie) Himnan on February 14 wrote: "Jennie and I leave this week for Clearwater to stay until the first week in April. We are proud that our first grandson is a freshman at Dartmouth. Jennie and I are both well except for the usual aches and pains which are a part of growing old. The only two events since the last reunion are that I was made Chairman Emeritus of International Paper Company and that a dormitory in Hanover was named in my honor."
Crosby Hoar wrote from Arlington, Va., "We are fortunate that our little family remains intact. My wife Margaret, and I, both in our 80's and keeping house; our daughter, Nancy, who is a computer programmer in Washington, and our son, John, a lawyer in Sumter, S. C. The latter has a wife and three children, two of whom are in college."
George Lowe: "Thelma and I plan to go to Lake Worth, Fla., for our 14th annual trip about March 15. It is not quite the same as Royal Park Inn at Vero Beach, but we enjoy it. Thelma is just recovering from a broken wrist."
Fred Munkelt on February 19, "Our old- est grandson will graduate with the Class of 1967 in June. We hope to attend. One more item about myself. On a part-time basis I do a little work at the Montpelier National Bank every day. My time is my own, almost. A current issue that is stirring up Jessie these days; namely; the proposal to move Vassar to New Haven, under the loving care of Yale."
Seymour Rutherford has moved to his summer address at Box 476, Waddington, N. Y. 13694.
Bob Thompson to Larry S.: "Had a bout with my ticker and was housed up for weeks past November. Am now working three mornings a week and the doctor will not let me drive yet. Nevertheless I feel fine."
