1913

A note from Carl Shumway enclosing a card from Cap Avery and a letter from Buck Freeman's wife. Cap complains that somebody has been calling him "Pop" instead of "Cap" and that has been corrected. Cap says that the passing of his wife is terribly hard to adjust to. They were short 23 days of fifty years of the most gratifying married life.

Bart Shepard came down to Florida with Hal McAllister and they got together with General Wilson for dinner and a beef party afterward. Geo. Davidson who lives there was housebound with a bad cold and could not join them. Cap says that if able he would like to get to Haverhill, Gloucester, Newbury to "walk the lands of his progenitors." Cap might stop in Reading (Mass.) where he would be very welcome.

With sadness, we report the death of two of our classmates in the last two months. Goldie W. Goulding Warren died November 16, '69 at The Holden District Hospital, Holden, Mass., at the age of 79. Goldie was born in Holden, son of Henry W. and Dora (Howe) Warren and lived in Holden all his life. He graduated with the class in '13 and was honored by becoming a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He served as a U.S. Army lieutenant in WWI. Goldie led an active meaningful life after graduation and received many tributes for his contributions to service in his community. He leaves a son, W. Goulding Warren Jr. of Clarksburg, W. Va.; a daughter, Janet, wife of Goodwin Graham of Holden Mass.; a sister, Mrs. Blanche Alton of Holden, and six grandchildren.

Parker Trowbridge died January 19 at an East Providence, R. I., nursing home. He was 79. Parker has been a resident of Barrington, R. I., since his retirement as manager of the Worcester, Mass., office of Paine Webber Jackson and Curtis Brokerage Firm. Parker attended Worcester Academy and entered Dartmouth in 1909. He was a member of the Psi Upsilon Fraternity. Parker served his community well and his untiring work in behalf of crippled children and his Easter Seal campaign gave him national recognition. The Class extends sincere sympathy to the family in their bereavement. He is survived by his wife Zylpha; a son, Anthony D. of Atlantic Highlands, N. J., two daughters, Mrs. Edward A. Whittaker of West Barrington, R. 1., and Mrs. Junius O. Beebe of Coconut Grove, Fla., and 7 grandchildren. Obituaries will be in this or a subsequent issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

Gladys Freeman reports that on the death of "Buck's" sister they were the last one in a family of five children.

A note from Bill Terry of Phoenix, Ariz., his new home. He said he had just heard from Johnnie Remsen of my stay in the hospital and wished me good sailing from now on. He says that they lead a very quiet life in Phoenix and he is the only '13er around. Fred Page keeps up a clipping service for him on anything intteresting in the Hanover scene, including the weather. His son Stephen continues making a fine recovery but does not know yet when he will be able to return to work. Such a large part of his body was burned that it takes time for the skin transplants to heal. Of all things he says that Phoenix has now developed a rather bad smog condition and there is a demand for strict laws to control smelters, farmers, and especially autos. Bill says that they have had it cold enough to freeze water in the bird bath in their backyard, on two occasions but there is no real need of anti-freeze in the car.

A note came from Nelson Gay wishing me a speedy recovery. He says that they are going along as usual and hope that they can keep it that way. "It is really beautiful (Jan. 13, '70) this morning," says Nelson, "after yesterday's dusting of snow."

J. Loy (Pat) Maloney had a visit with Fred M. Bruner last November in Venice, Fla. Bruner made the long walk to Pat's apartment and they spent a very nice evening together.

An interesting letter came from "Larry" Leavitt '25. Among other things he informed me that he was a friend of Howard Clinch of Reading, Mass., a good friend of mine. Larry asked me if I could still pole vault. The answer is no, not now. He told me that I would be interested to know that track is starting to look up at Hanover. That is good news as one has to go all the way back to 1912 and 1913 to remember Harry Hillman's good track teams. Larry heads the Sponsoring Program for athletics (to bring outstanding scholar-athletes to the campus) and they are now flying in some track prospects.

A note from Johnnie Remsen reports that he and Laura had just gotten over the bug. They did not recover so quickly as they would have in their younger days due to the cold and windy weather.
