1920
We are at last assembled in our new house in Sarasota. There is quite an incline to our driveway (for Florida) but we won't have to worry about putting chains on to make the grade.
Another '20 who likes year-round Florida living is Wes Jones whose permanent home is in West Palm Beach. There is an active Dartmouth Club there which makes it an interesting place to live.
Many are probably familiar with the Telephone Company's Pioneer Life Member Club. It really keeps in touch with all its retirees and Tink Lombard keeps very busy being president of the Club in his area. He is civic minded and this with golf, bridge and bowling take up his time.
More condominiums are going up at the 4th, 5th, and 6th holes of The Country Club in Brookline, Mass. Mel Merritt is adding 14 new units to the 21 units he built in 1963-64. Living actually on the golf course he plays every day and is still working on improving his score and is struggling to shoot his age.
The October ALUMNI MAGAZINE told about Ken Fenderson jogging. Error - his son Ken Jr. is the jogger and Ken, we are sorry to report is in St. Anthony's Hospital in St. Pete recovering from a slight shock. Gugger Fiske keeps close tabs on him and keeps us informed and he is coming along good.
New addresses: John (Shortie) Stickney and Mabel are still rocking but they are doing it at 1540 Bougainvillea Way in Bartow, Fla., and enjoying it. The last we heard from Bill and Harriet Sinclair they were not happy with San Jose but were undecided where next to go. They must have made the big decision their new address being 290 N.W. 13th Street, Boca Raton, Fla., c/o L. W. Hussy. Pete Potter now lives at 47 Gibbs Street, Rochester, N. Y. Dick and Elizabeth Lux have moved to Metcalf Road #2, Willoughby, Ohio. Dorothy Sampson's Norwich address is Jones Circle 05055. Mrs. George Winters' address now is RFD, Lake-ville, Conn. 06039. Paul and Lydia Hutchinson moved into their new house about the first week in October and their address is 12166 West End Road, North Palm Beach, Fla. 33403. The Siglers are settled in their new condominium apartment and listen to their address - 128 Brandywine Drive, Largo, Fla. 33540.
Another '20 who has retired and started over again is Joe Brewer. His retirement from Queen's College was mandatory but he has a new job with his old friend Albert Boni at Readex Microprint Corp. in New York. He is not sure whether he can make it in June. Larry Clarkson is another who is not quite sure - but we are hoping he will be there in June with his new wife.
It is good to hear Mary Marden is at home and on the mend after spending time in the hospital after a heart attack. I'm sure she will hurry and get well so she and Ted can be on hand - come June.
Kinny and Mildred Smith - the first in '20 (that we know of) to be hi-jacked to Cuba. Last March they had to stay 2½ days in Camaguay before their plane could be released. They were treated well, however, and we are glad there were no ill effects. They'll tell us more about it in June.
Al Steinbrecher is still "Fone patching" from Vietnam, the total completed messages is now about 10,500. It takes much of his time but it is a very rewarding hobby.
Most of you have probably seen KelSmith's picture in the October MAGAZINE since he is Division Chairman of the Third Century Fund in Cleveland. He is also on the National Executive Committee and you probably noticed that Paul Richter is General Chairman in Concord, and Bill Carter is on the committee in the Hanover area. Other '20s on the committee in various areas are: Ken Spalding, Laconia; Frank Moulton, Littleton; Walk Fielding and Mel Merritt, Boston; Mugs Morrill, Wellesley; Doc Miller, Worcester; Herb Mills, Hartford; Bob Farwell, Rhode Island; Jack Mayer, Manhattan; Sherry Baketel, Philadelphia; Howard Kaichen, Detroit; Ken Fenderson and Bing Whitaker, Florida West Coast; Len Davis and Maury Dewey, Chicago; Leo Ungar, Nebraska; and Bill Farnham, Spokane.
Howard and Helen Pullen recently returned from a trip to the West Coast to see their son off on a tour of duty to the Philippines with the Air Force - and also to see their daughter who lives in California. They are jumping on the bandwagon for Hanover in June.
Len and Marie Davis are happy, their son Harry having recently had his thesis in sociology accepted by Northwestern. They got over to Canterbury to the '20-21 picnic in July and are looking forward to Hanover in June.
A clipping from the "Fall River Herald News" in August shows two good pictures of Cy Rounsville, one at his bank president's desk which he must leave since he has reached age 70, and another picture showing him feeding his adopted brood of about 50 wild ducks in his back yard. With the pictures is a long and impressive testimonial. He was also voted "Man of the Year" by the Chamber of Commerce. A Wah-Hoo-Wah for Cy.
A short note from Charlie Ashton now in Waverly, Ohio, doubts if he can make reunion but he hasn't forgotten Dartmouth and sends best wishes to you all. It's nice to hear from Al Peabody after a long silence and to know he is feeling fine at 74. A breezy note from Jake Gorton just says "Hi."
Clint Johnson, Montclair, N. J., admits his news is not cheery, having had two stays in the hospital and more surgery scheduled, but he is already planning on being in Hanover in June and we are looking forward to seeing him. Bob Mulcahy also is trying to clear the way so he can hop on the bandwagon. James (Dan) Daniel, Green Bay, lives a quiet life and seems to doubt if he can make it in June.
Ralph Roberts "manages" to enjoy life with tennis, skiing in Rockies or Switzerland, a trip to India in March and Madeira next spring. He doesn't say anything about Hanover in June but I'm betting that he and Dorothy will be there, and there may be a tie for the youngest looking at Reunion, he or Dan Bender. From Hib Richter comes a clipping from the "Maine Sunday Telegram" which covered the Sales and Marketing Workshop at Gorham State College and highlighted two of Maine's economic wizards, Al Frey and E. Grosvenor Plowman, giving each due credit and an impressive list of titles and offices held.
A card comes from the Charlie Sargents mailed from Ft. Lauderdale. They are on a 16-state tour. It was their intention to look us up but couldn't find our Key on the map.
Now that we are on the mainland, in Sarasota, we are easier to locate. Homasassa Road is off Tuttle between Webber and Bee Ridge Road and both Tuttle and Bee Ridge run east off the South Tamiami Trail (Route 41). When you are in Florida and especially in our area do look us up. It might be the day of the Ivy League luncheon or Dartmouth Club luncheon meeting or ladies' night dinner or something.
