'19ers are beginning to arrive in the Delray area but not in large numbers. Gordon and Aurelia Meader of St. Davids, Pa., are in town and the Rands have seen them a couple of times, the last on Gordon's birthday, when the class card was personally delivered and a most pleasant time was had by all. It should be recalled that Gordon presented the College Museum in Hanover with his rare collection of Mexican artifacts which was greatly appreciated and which is in constant use for teaching purposes.
Don and Winifred Lovejoy were encountered at the beach club where we are both members and they are fine - Don is still commuting between Wall Street and nearby Gulf Stream.
Ed and Bea Martin will be at the Gulf and Bay Club in Sarasota on Siesta Key for the month of February at least, and hopes to make the East Coast. Stu Russell is hereby provided with a golfing partner. Rock and Alice Earle Hayes are at the Bellaire Biltmore in Clearwater where Rock will attempt to take some dough away from his partners in Paine, Webber, Jackson and Curtis on the golf course. After a visit with the Coke McCreerys in St. Petersburg, they are expected in Delray Beach before a trip to California - all this will take about three months.
Donald (King) Cole stopped in for a visit along with Elmer Lampe, well known coach in Hanover, and Harry Tanzi, the Mayor. Elmer is now retired and he and Gert are making their home in Deerfield Beach. They had been to a Dartmouth luncheon in Palm Beach where Elmer told the group about the fine freshman football team of last fall which should be a great help to Bob Blackman when he gets underway in the fall of '68.
All is well with the 1919 annual October party for the Princeton game next October 12. The Woodstock Inn will be open at least through that date (while the new Inn is being built) and we will have 20-25 rooms available for the class. But, get your reservations in early as this is, of course, the big fall weekend in Hanover. And, to repeat, the luncheon before the game will be in the Hanover Inn Tavern, October 12, starting around 11:30 with a limit of 75 people.
Had a call from Greif Raible from Bal Harbour in Miami - Pebblebrook Farm has a few horses at Hialeah and we are going down to see "Irish Whirl" run and Greif claims she can really ran. Further Florida report - Guy and Muriel Cogswell are in Fort Lauderdale for their annual stay and Guy, as usual, is making a detailed study of the entries at Hialeah with the hope of picking up a few bucks. Gene Markey's ('18) horse "Forward Pass" (Calumet Stables) won handily the first time out but no go the second time.
Harry and Lil Colwell are planning a Caribbean cruise in April instead of a long delayed trip to Florida. Talked to Si Stein in nearby Boca Raton and they are fine and had a fishing trip down to the Florida Keys.
A note from Dick Dudensing indicates that he and Spike are O.K. and expect to come to Florida in April for what has become an annual trip. Dick, Harry Colwell, and Ken Huntington went to Long Island to extend their sympathy and that of the Class to Ethel Parsons on learning the sad news of Hal's passing. The In Memoriam should be in this or a subsequent issue of the MAGAZINE.
Al Taylor, from Washington, D.C., writes: "Thanks for the birthday greeting. I have been told that, now that I am 71 I am living on borrowed time. Delray Beach is certainly a better place to spend the winter than D. C. Hope your health is good. Mine is improving, strangely enough. As a veteran of three wars I have been thinking of going up to Hanover come primary time and put in a word for Eugene McCarthy. Do we have to fight everywhere??"
