1920
Not very much has been heard from Lowell (Hal) Holway except that he was still working. He has, however, moved to Groton, Conn., from Mystic, which may be only a short move.
News of Al and Helen Steinbrecher: the work at their ranch in Tucson, Ariz., was getting too much for them so they sold the greater part of their property and moved to Santa Barbara. Al is still very active in amateur radio and has some beautiful teletype equipment which he received from MARS (Military Affiliate Radio Service) which he uses on both amateur and military frequencies. As his volunteer contribution to the Vietnam situation he has run about 700 phone patches from the boys over there to their families. Although this work is time consuming, he says it is equally rewarding. They go to all the local Dartmouth affairs and frequently see Harry and CarolineWorth. They have a daughter living in San Marino, Calif., and on one of their visits they called on Paul Bowerman finding him very fit and still teaching at Cal Tech but is slacking off toward retirement in 1969. Al only wishes he was nearer to Hanover and is looking forward to 1970 and '20's Big Fiftieth. He sends his best to all the gang till then.
Al Osborn writes that his sons Paul and Russell are associated with him in his interesting business in New York, the examination of handwriting and documents. This work takes them near and far but he is gradually turning more of the traveling jobs over to his sons. He, too, is looking forward to getting back to Hanover for Reunion in 1970.
The sympathy of the Class goes to the Frank Corbins and Mrs. Mary McGaw, formerly Mrs. Jimmie Vail, who are grandparents to eight-year-old Andrew Vail who died last fall in Charlotte, N.C. You will recall that Snake Corbin's daughter married Jimmie Vail's son.
It seems to be the pattern of the SamStrattons to take a cruise in the fall before going to their New York apartment for the winter. This year their cruise took them to South America. The Clint Johnsons also seem to have settled into a pattern of Florida in the winter, at the lake in the summer and Montclair between times which is just the kind of a life for a retired banker. DickHayes doesn't give much news of himself but he does wonder what Craven Laycock would think of today's undergraduate customs.
Although Herb Marshall's health is good he is easing up on his medical practice. Maury and Alice Dewey are enjoying good health and were, at the time he wrote, just starting out to make the round visiting children in Pontiac, Toledo, and Newark, and were hoping to make it to Hanover.
Since the death of our big Jim Robertson, Elizabeth has moved from the Centerville home and has taken an apartment to be near her brother in Rockport, Mass. Her address is 10 Dale Street.
We are indebted to Paul Richter for forwarding his newsy Christmas letter from Susie Frazier telling of several trips over the places where she and Phil had lived and worked together with their Indian projects. She was delighted to see that so many of their dreams were being fulfilled.
Art Pfeiffer didn't give much news of himself except that he had joined and contributed to the Dartmouth Educational Association hoping it would help some student to get a start at Dartmouth. A note from Larry Clarkson, Los Angeles, says he and Marian are healthy and happy, and that the days literally gallop by. Art Thompson, Milton, is back at the desk of a patent attorney having recovered from surgery of last fall.
Although Larry Lovejoy has to stick pretty close to home because of an invalid 87-year-old mother and 88-year-old father he man-ages to do some outside estate appraising, he bowls, is church treasurer and president of the local Couples Club and also the Melrose Senior Citizens Club. Dick Shoninger's wife, Jeanne is not too well but Dick himself is working every day but looking forward to retirement before too long. BobMulcahy reached the compulsory age of retirement last November after having completed 50 years, 8 months, 19 days, to be exact, in the field of taxation. However, lie expects to resume probate matters, and has 13 grandchildren, so he expects his time will be active. Everything seems to be fine with "Pa" Birch. He' is still going strong in the mortgage brokerage business.
A brief note from Ned Shnayerson, New York, tells that he is well, still on the job. I believe I saw him at the Penn game last fall. A 1 Palmer has made a remarkable recovery from his acute vascular attack and surgery last spring. We were glad to get a few words from Ted Marden that all is serene with him. Bob Farwell is carrying on his garden work, golf, and serves on several hospital committees in his Providence area. Abe Winslow gives no news of himself - but no news is usually good news.
Another in the "no news" category is LeRoy Davis, Bloomfield, N.J. We are sorry to hear Sig and Betty Sigler were called north because of a death in their family. They are, however, back again in Clearwater and not far from Laddie Myers. They have a grandson at Mt. Hermon this year who is hopefully headed for Dartmouth. I was invited by Laddie to the January luncheon meeting of the St. Pete Dartmouth Club held at the Holiday Inn where I met our Classmates Bing VVhitaker and PickHill. Pick seems to heve recovered well from his illness of last year. Bing keeps busy with boating and fishing and looks as if he could still run a good cross country race.
Jim Bonnyman '38 opened his lovely home in Sarasota for the January meeting of the Sarasota Dartmouth Club. It was a buffetpicnic and there were about 45 Dartmouth men present. Had a long talk with Charlieand Margaret Stevens. Charlie is much better and has added another wing to his Heron Lagoon home and is now a permanent Floridian.
The address of Paul and Lydia Hutchinson's new Florida home is 11439 Lost Tree Way, North Palm Beach, and I am sure they would be glad to welcome any '20s in this area.
Charlie Crathern's sister, Helen, is extending her Florida visit to take advantage of studying with Eliot O'Hara at the Longboat Key Art Center nearby and we are enjoying having her as house guest.
Dick Watts is in Florida. He stopped in to see Laddie on his way to Winter Haven and was then going on to New Smyrna Beach to visit a brother. He and Laddie are planning to go to the east coast at the time of the POW-WOW at Fort Lauderdale, March 26 and 27. These are dates to record on your calendar. Just as this was about to go to the mail a telephone call came from Ralph Sunergren. He and Mildred are visiting Harold Morse '19 and "Fuzzy" in Englewood, Fla. We look forward to seeing them here on Longboat in a couple of days.
Hope to see many of you in Ft. Lauderdale at the POW-WOW at the Sheraton March 26 and 27. Special dates .also to keep in mind are for Bob Blackman's visit to Daytona on March 18 and the Dartmouth Glee Club's concerts in Sarasota, March 26, Fort Lauderdale, March 27 (part of POW-WOW program), and Jacksonville, March 28.
Aided by all this equipment, Al Steinbrecher '20 can reach around the world from hisSanta Barbara studio where he does both amateur and military broacasts.
