1938

The call of Autumn, the promise of foliage, the homing instinct, and the fact that I sorely needed news for this column drove me up to Boston on the spur of the moment for the Harvard weekend. Wife and I also wanted to see son's apartment in Brighton.

We had no tickets because of lack of planning but son had arranged for room at Ramada. Safely beyond walking distance from his apartment, it was, however, on Soldier Field Road hard by the stadium so we left the cart here and walked to field. We spent a delightful hour at the perennial pregame party traditionally hosted by the Boston 38ers. This year the site was established on the river side of Soldier Field Road. It was sunny and warm and rowing shells were sweeping by as we socialized.

I am sure I am skipping a few when I mention those in attendance but I noted: Randlett, Hitchcock, Karr, Lyle, Tanis,White. Conspicuously absent was the famous greeter, Morgan Marshall and we wish him well out West. Also missing were Ammarell, Forgan, and Lutz.

It was good to meet with old dormitory buddy Wendell Lake who drove down from Marblehead with Mary and they joined us to sit on the grass and listen to the heroics on radio. Brett sported a mod hair style which gave him a youthful, dashing appearance. Ed White was with his son who was about as tall but a bit leaner.

The most startling report was the marriage of Stoughton. The bachelor ranks are now quite thin and offhand I can only think of Clark Barrett.

What I am really looking forward to is the appearance of Bob Forgan, Charles Mann and Ted Thorne at the same gathering. They are all three New England based now with Ted, working for the Medical School and living in White River.

Master chef Pat Uhlmann '37 offered a gourmet luncheon for 12, which brought$400 at a benefit auction for the Kansas City Art Institute. Seated is MadameEugenie Beaugency, a descendant of Escoffier, who flew from Paris to present Pa-with the Cordon Bleu, diploma of her famous cooking school.
