Norm Carver received an accolade at a week's celebration at Yankee Homecoming in Newburyport, Mass., Norm's home town. The ceremonies were devoted on the first day to their Native Son. The Carvers surprised your secretary and Doris by taking time out to pay us a visit in Norwich, having come to the Upper Valley area to see their two sons who are teaching at Kimball Union Academy in nearby Meriden, N. H. They told us of the day's celebration at Newburyport, paying homage to the Carver successes. At the same time recognition was given to the U. S. Coast Guard which had its conception in Newburyport in 1790, where the first Revenue Cutter "Massachusetts" was built to guard against smugglers in 1797.

Norm traveled from Kalamazoo, Mich. — his present residence, where the Carver Center is named in his honor. This recognized his talents as a president of the Community Theater Association. It was designed by his son, Norman Jr., a Kalamazoo architect.

Bill Lies Jr. is in the spotlight. He donated 343 acres of valuable timberland to Tift College located in Forsyth, Ga. He is chairman of the board of trustees of that institution. The school's latest dormitory was dedicated in his name as William Lies Jr. Hall.

Bill Embree has sent us a calendar of the Art Institute of Chicago which includes the Photo-Eye of the Twenties, an exhibition of over 250 photographs selected to comprise the traveling exhibit circulated by the Museum of Modern Art, to extend the range of representation of individual photographers, and to provide a more comprehensive view of these exploratory years in photography. Included in the exhibit is a picture by our own Ralph Steiner portraying the left front of a 1929 Ford Car, featuring the new demountable rims and unseen self-starter. The Embrees told us that they were very sorry to have missed the post-reunion at Whitefield because they were embarking on a trek across Canada to Vancouver, B. C., from where they took a cruise to Alaska; and then back down to San Francisco for a few days before returning home on their own "No-trak or whatever they call it."

Dudley Robinson announces another '21 Florida Reunion for February 21, 1973 at the Lake Placid Florida Holiday Inn which was so successful last year with 28 or so classmates in attendance. This resort is near Orlando and quite centrally located in Florida.

The September issue of the Smoker carried a complete story covering the citation of Dan Kavanaugh's achievements in the field of Rheumatology. We congratulate Dan on his accomplishments, and wish him and Eleanor a most happy retirement.

Myla Doran sends us news of husband Mike. He has been limited in his activities this last seven years by a stroke, which has forced him to give up outside activities. But he follows Dartmouth football with enthusiasm, and watches sports a.nd news on television with avidity. His son and daughters keep in close touch with him and report on the grandchildren, ten of them, ranging in age from 5 to 25. Mike would appreciate hearing from his classmates. His address is 18 High Street, Bristol, N. H. 03222.

The Hewitt Moores of North Pomfret have received much deserved publicity recently. First, their daughter Emily, a recent graduate from the University of Vermont, was married in June to Wallace Gruber of Manchester Center, Conn. The pair will live at the Sherburne Farm in North Pomfret in the homestead of her late maternal grandparents, and will continue to operate the farm.

One of their sons, David, has been a professional organ builder, working with Charles Fish of Gloucester, Mass., for the past three years. In his spare time, during weekends, David has reconstructed a single manual, tracker-type instrument, combining the features of the French Baroque period with modern organ building technique. It has two types of pipes — flue and reed — and has a range of six octaves. The majority of the pipes are made of a lead and tin alloy with a set of wooden pipes thrown in for good measure. David also did the cabinet work on the case himself, using native Pomfret butternut which blends the sounds coming from the pipes. The organ was rented to a synagogue in Haverhill, Mass., after David had given a recital in the North Pomfret Congregation Church. The recital featured the "Battle of Trenton," a composition composed in the 18th century by James Hewitt, an ancestor.
