Hal spent six turbulent years in Foochow, China, as field treasurer and business agent for the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. While back in the United States on furlough in 1920, Hal was afflicted with a parasitic infection acquired in China which made his return there unwise. He was elected assistant treasurer of the American Board and in 1921 became its treasurer. It was due largely to his efforts during the depression that none of the Board's 97 stations around the world was forced to close. Retirement found him continuing his interest in various missions and colleges around the world.

Harold was a deacon of the First Congregational church in Maiden and a member of the Boston Congregational Club. Always a lover of the outdoors, he was an ardent mountain climber and a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club. On July 21, 1914 Harold married Marian G.

Chet's army career began in May 1917 when he attended the First Officers' Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minn., where he was commissioned second lieutenant of infantry. After rapid promotion he went to France in August 1918 with his Division and served in Haute-Alsace and in the Meuse-Argonne. He returned to the United States in August 1919 and one year later was commissioned as captain of infantry in the Regular Army. Following 25 changes of station, his final tour of duty was as Commandant of the First Service Command in Boston. On his retirement in 1946 he received the Legion of Merit Award. For twelve years following his retirement from the army Colonel Chester P. Haycock taught economics and business administration at Boston University.

Bob's outstanding sense of humor was a hall-mark. He thoroughly enjoyed any form of word play and was always ready with a story. We are indebted to big John Merrill for writing us of Bob's passing and since John's wife, Helen, is Bob's sister they had kept close contact in California through the years. One sentence in his letter aptly pays a tribute and describes our fond remembrance of this good guy. "Bob and I have been friends for many, many years and Lord knows I'm sure going to miss his corny jokes and great guffaws of laughter."

Bob and Lillian came east to join our class fall reunion in 1969, their first visit since 1948. His description made it sound like the best weekend he ever spent anywhere. They had hoped to make our 35th.
