1931

Our tireless Head Agent, Johnny Cogswell, found time to forward the following: "We got back a week ago from three delightful weeks of vacation. Our first two weeks in the Caribbean were just perfect, being at St. Lucia for the first week and St. Vincent for the second. Thence to visit with relatives in Florida. Got home just in time to greet a 15-inch snow fall on Easter Day! The night we checked in at Young Island, St. Vincent, I was greeted as I approached the bar by a shout of pleased surprise. The surprise was certainly mutual. It was Jimand Bunny Godfrey. Jim surprised me further by telling me I had missed Frank McCord and his wife by only one day.

"1931 had excellent representation at the dinner in New York honoring President Kemeny. I think I spotted all of them, and can only hope I didn't miss anyone. I saw Sid Rubin, Mel Levison, Vic Rockhill, Jim Lyall, Doug Woodring, Joe Merriman, Mil Hallenbeck, Charlie Schneider, Nick (C. M.) Nichols, Ralph Charlton, Bax Ball, Ed Maas, Jack Cole, Johnny Camph, Charlie McAllister, and Howie Crosse."

Parker Soule keeps us up-to-date with Hanover doings: "Frank Gavan, general manager, standardization and consumer affairs for Armstrong Cork Co., lectured at Tuck School this spring on 'Consumerism and the Standards Process.' Had breakfast recently with Irv and Gertrude Bettman, in Hanover surveying the possibilities of moving into the area. The sun dial all you guys and dolls gave Helen and me last October is in place on our front lawn, and 'Look, Ma! It works!' "

Our Class president, John Benson, reminds us all that the fall reunion will take place on the Princeton Weekend, October 10, and that 25 rooms have been reserved at Lake Morey Inn for us. Write directly to the Inn at Fairlee, Vt. 05045 for reservations.

John Benson, president of the Shawmut Association, was active in the recent affiliation of the First Bank and Trust Company of Hampden County, Springfield, Mass., with his group.

Bill Steck forwards a clipping from the Cleveland Plain Dealer announcing that Joanne Elizabeth Flynn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Albert Flynn was married in April to David Oswin Frantz of Newtown Square, Pa.

Thanks to all the foregoing contributors we have managed to eke out the column once more. I sincerely hope that the rest of you will write to me about your doings. This mill needs more grist.
