1931
Again this month, Guest Editor is ShepWolff, who is waiting for the ice to go out of the river so he can personally paint his new house, in Etna Heights.
Retired Bob Dickey is residing in So. Chatham, Mass. 02659. Bill Light regularly undertakes factory-sponsored dealer trips to Madrid, Majorca, Rome, Costa del Sal, Caracas, Japan, Switzerland, Nassau, Key Biscayne, not to mention Chicago and two ocean cruises. Such a high-travelling dealer surely must have an automated dealership working for him back home. Dr. Elmer Rosenblum still going strong; two boys still in college. Beany Thorn and Dick Holbrook both are thinking about some kind of a Class Questionnaire for our mutual information. Beany Thorn threatens to show 2000 slides at the Reunion so "don't plan anything else." Possibly the Class should seriously consider financing Ms trip to Japan to see Smokey JoeAdams. He could show the slides to Smokey Joe instead.
Ed Maas saw Don Crane in Florida, says he' doing fine; climate helps too. BillSchuldenfrei hopes to make the scene in June. Ginny Rick reports that Jim has been ill for three months after 7 weeks in the hospital; is home now trying to put back some of his 35 pounds that were lost.
Walter Farley is now retired and boasting four grandchildren. Ori and June Hobbs regularly make Hanover for the Alumni Council meetings. Tom Gafford's son now discharged from the USAF after four years. Tom, in the welfare business, is finding the going increasingly rough. Bob Blocksom floated around for two weeks on the "Princess Italia," enjoyed every luxurious hour of it. Payson Weston is one of those Floridians who bore everybody by writing in the dead of winter, "The temperature outside my window right now is 82 degrees." Ed Hanauer and Sara heading for Caracas and Aruba to thaw out for three weeks.
Rosy Rosengren got to be Section Secretary of the Rocky Mountain Regional Section of the American Association of Cost Engineers. (Try saying it. backwards). His duties do not interfere with skiing, swimming golfing, etc., in his local area any time he sees fit. The John Gilmores played bridge recently with the Red Chamberlains, but we do not know who won. John's son is graduating from the U. of Denver. Count Gray and Betty Magee among the rloridians, at least for six months out of the year. Chan Griggs retired from the U. S. federal Aviation Administration after 33 years. Don Ewing counts six grandchildren and his youngest son attends American University. Ed Stokes feeling better and selling cars in Haverhill, N. H. GeorgeFrankal posted a card from Chile at the Straits jpf Magellan; last year the card was from Tahiti. Seems like George goes to extremes.
Jack Ewing moves from Arizona to Columbia, S. C.; what's up Jack? BillWalsh says he hears once in a decade from ueorge Stevens, who is presently Horn "rofessor of Law at Texas Tech. University Add another mysterious move to the Larolinas—Dwight Rand now located at Charlotte, N. C.
A copy of "The Crow's Nest," published pih-i t"ne Seamen's Church Institute of Philadelphia has fallen into my hand. The Rev. Jim McElroy, director and chaplain of the Institute, admits to have written the words for two Christmas carols which he will be requested to sing at the 40th in June. The Institute provided 1700 ditty bags containing more than 20 useful articles to be delivered aboard ships which must spend Christmas at sea. DickHolbrook reuned with Court Anderson in February; Court is an officer of Elba Systems ("Tomorrow's Sales Methods Today"). Dick expects to see Ben Hardman in April, when Ben will be attending a convention in Phoenix.
Jim Swift says that retirement was sudden with him—had planned to go another year. Annette and Jim want to move to Pompano Beach, Fla., when they sublet their Chicago apartment.
By the time you-all read these words, there will be but 60 days or so to reunion time. The program is shaping up beautifully —something doing every minute, something for everyone, particularly something for you. Hope you're going to be there.
