1924

Our Class Chairman, Ted Nilsen, conducted 1924's winter business from Sarasota, Fla. By the time this is turned into print he will no doubt be back on the old stand in Andover, Mass.

Harry Harris claims Newport Beach, Calif., is "the finest spot in the world." Better keep it quiet, Harry, and avoid a stampede. Alice, his wife, is a professional writer, while their 15-year-old son is an accomplished musician and tennis player. Harry pursues his career as an agent for Northwestern Mutual Life.

Ned Mansure has been elected to fill the Elmo Roper vacancy on the board of the three Value Line Funds. This requires him to forsake California for New York every other month.

Bill Patten takes his rock gardening seriously. He and Kitty recently went to England for the International Conference of the Alpine Garden Society. No sooner back than they were off to the Smokies, under the auspices of the Barnes Arboretum Foundation, to examine the flora. Then there followed at Boston a seminar on rock gardening. When they are not on the move Bill and Kitty live in Downington, Pa., and keep track of their four children and 12 grandchildren.

A Hartford newspaper clipping received via Roily Taylor reveals Paul Kane, retired senior development agent with the Connecticut Development Commission, was recently named "Man of the Year" by the Northeastern Industrial Developers Association. He was honored by the Association at their annual conference in Baltimore.

George and Betty Anderson have abandoned Florida for Colorado where both of them were born and raised. But their new mountain home is primarily a base from which to make sallies to distant parts, most recently Mexico. Their son Bill is an Air Force Colonel with a "terrific combat mission record in Vietnam" and now at the Air War College, Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.

This seems to be the Mexico corner. Peteand Alma Wheatley again spent part of the winter in Mexico to which they have become much attached. Pete has reduced his Abington, Mass., law practice to about half time. The Plymouth County Bar Association recently presented Pete with a Paul Revere bowl in recognition of his many years of service to the bench, the bar and the people of the county. He is deeply involved in numerous local activities: chairman of the trustees of his church; member of the Town Conservation Committee; member of the Criminal Law Committee of the Massachusetts Bar Association; president of a national bank; director of a fire insurance company. Small wonder Pete doesn't have enough time to dry the dishes!

A delayed Christmas message from Chinee and Margaret Allen in Korea describes the busy, absorbing and highly useful lives they are leading there, each in a separate field. Chinee is counselor and psychologist at the Seoul Foreign School. His work covers the whole clinical spectrum with the nearly 600 pupils at the school. They are children of missionaries, business-industrial families, and also many Koreans and mixed blood children from kindergarten through high school. Margaret's work takes her 300 miles away for part of the time assisting in a pilot study concentrating on preventive medicine in rural Korea undertaken by the Christian Medical Mission of the World Council of Churches.
