1908

Pop Chesley has been getting around. In May he missed the Alumni Officers Meetings to take a long-planned trip to the Caribbean. Next he took an auto trip to the White Mountains and the seashore, taking in the Dartmouth campus and, best of all, stopping to pay a delightful visit to LarryTreadway in Williamstown. Here it is, in Pop's own words: "I haven't seen Larry look so well in years. He appeared in the height of fashion and the king of all his domain." Well done, Pop. Your report is most heartwarming.

Pete McCarthy has been moving his office to his home, 253 Park Street, Dorchester, Mass. 02124. "What a job," yelps Pete. Never mind, Pete, we all understand that it is a wise move and well done. Ralph Pease bequeathed to Dartmouth the sum of $11,000. Bert Thwing, who has been living in a rest home, which he prefers to call "one of those things," since he suffered a slight stroke last summer, misses his old home but looks forward to some relief of his boredom when summer arrives for keeps. We understand, Bert, as most of us are having, more or less, a taste of it.

Sumner Crosby, due to defective vision, has not driven a car for ten years. However, he walks to the bank where he is chairman of the board, and spends time there every day. That's courage, Sumner, keep it up. Crosby Hoar reports that Margaret and he are pretty well, but tire easily and thus they doubt they can make Hanover. Perhaps things will change and you will discover a more comfortable means of travel. Art Wyman bursts into rhyme, thus:

Has anyone else had the shingles? No known cause or cure to date Not fatal — six weeks duration Your prayers invited — Wyman '08

Enough said. We are glad to adl that Art's trials are about over.

Walter Furman has good news. He is feeling better, come spring, and does some walking with the help of a cane. It is like Walter to say, "I really shouldn't complain." He sure is getting around. This morning I received a postal from him written aboard Her Majesty's Ship "Queen Elizabeth II" while enroute to London where he will meet his son and wife and fly back on August 24. Jennie and John Hinman have completed their regular summer sojourn in Canada and are now visiting their son in Oregon. Look for John at the Princeton game. Summer address: Mrs. W. Cleaveland Foote, Box 93, West Tisbury, Martha's Vineyard, Mass. 02575.

We received a letter, dated April 25, too late for the June column, from RalphSherburne, bringing us up to date. On May 1, 1971 he retired and sold the Sherburne and Parker Insurance Agency after 20 years as an active member. On December 31 he fell on the ice and injured his back. He entered Concord Hospital and while there underwent a successful prostate operation. On February 23 he returned home and soon was able to move around the house in a wheel chair and was improving rapidly. However our next news was of Ralph's death on June 7. An obituary appeared on page 50 of the July issue of this Magazine.

Word has been received of the death of Donald Comstock on July 8 at Stuart, Fla., after a period of ill health.

And yet another: George Lowe passed away June 16 after a series of treatments reaching back to January 1. Word came to us from friends desiring to donate memorials to him. George will be sadly missed. He was a prime example of the loyalty and devotion of many of our non-graduates. Also word, without particulars, has been received of the death of W. BradfordHarwood, a Vero-Beach adoptee. Brad was well and favorably known to many of the Class.

Are you keeping your eye on the Reunion, June 8, 9, 10, next year?
