1925
A glance through the latest report of Friends of the Dartmouth Library reveals contributions of several publications by Johnnie Garrod, Alex Laing, and Bob McKennan during the past year, which leads to a suggestion that other members of the class may have books, manuscripts, etc., which would be welcome additions to the varied collections of the library.
A recent note from Hal White discloses that he broke a knee cap in Clarksburg, W. Va., that forced cancellation of a booking in Ohio, and that he was performing in New Bedford, Mass., following two months in Maine.
Eddie Roessler was one of the few retired individuals who did not go to Florida this winter. He writes: "My sister pulled a tendon, her cook had pneumonia, and I had the flu - or something." We still list several skiers among us. Ed Dodez went skiing with Ken Parker in Michigan and was looking to more of the same in the Rockies in March. Roily Stebbins on a trip to Sun Valley for the 18th time, stopped off in Boulder, Colo., to see his son, Kenyon, who is a junior there. Other stops were Eldora, Loveland, Arapahoe, Vail, Aspen, and Snowmass. He also went to Salt Lake City to visit another son, Malcolm, at the U. of Utah, and skied at Park City West and Alta. After skiing in the upper Peninsula of Michigan he left to ski in Europe and Africa, noting that both Morocco and Algeria have ski lifts. Your secretary managed to get in some limited skiing in New Hampshire, but limited not through any choice of his own.
Hi has retired after 41½ years of listening to the complaints of real estate owners and tenants. He expects to spend his summers in the Congress Club, Williams Bay, Wis., on Lake Geneva where he's had a summer home for several years. He plans to join that part of the class which spends the winter in Florida "after checking out both coasts and interior." lamer Guernsey sold his Miami house last fall and moved to his place on Lake Istokpoga, about 90 miles west of Palm Beach. He then took a trip abroad, returning late in January.
Ford Whelden stayed close to home this winter suffering a state of "utter confusion" over a period of two months while workmen completed re-electrification of Freelon House and painters and paper-hangers did a renovating job. Dick Nye was recently pictured in the New York Times on the telephone at his desk in shirt sleeves and suspenders, as the head of Georgeson & Co., who is active in soliciting shareholder proxies, which is big business these days with the escalating trend toward mergers. In case you missed the items in the March issue of this magazine, references were made to Ted Geisel on page 8 and Bob Warren on page 35. Hal Rider's name once again appears in the news as chairman of Stamford'd Easter Seal Committee. Whitey White iS working assiduously in developing interest in building up the Duncan Sleigh Memorial Fund. Anyone who has not contribute may send their bit to Crosby Hall. It will be credited also to the Third Century Fund if you so suggest.
While on the subject of contributions we are reminded that the annual Alumni Pund drive will be in full swing by the time you read these notes. It will be to the great relief of the agent, who is responsible for you, and Head Agent George Zahm, if you will' make your contribution early—and in realistic amount!
