1918

Regretfully, we amend our report in the April issue in regard to George M. DavisJr. His wife Dorothy writes that George is in the extensive care unit of the New Rochelle Hospital, never having recovered from his second stroke of November, 1970. Visits and words of cheer should be to Dorothy only, for sadly George is that seriously ill and will remain so to the end. Why should such a noble person, dedicated in service to others, be so afflicted? Dorothy, now Jiving at 16 North Chatsworth Ave., Larchmont, N. Y. 10538, merits our encouragement for her devotion to her husband over this long, lingering period. As George inspired others when active, so does Dorothy now.

Through D wight Sargent, we learn that the slide pictures George took of every church in New England have been transferred by Dorothy to the Art and Architectural Department at Dartmouth which is delighted and assures a safe and useful home, for them.

Dwight further writes of going to the Class Agents April meeting in New York City. He was the fifth oldest graduate attending, and reported that President Kemeny was just grand in his talk on Dartmouth of today and the future.

In April Steve Mahoney visited SylMorey at the iatter's office and found Syl planning to visit the Pittsfield (Mass.) General Hospital for a small repair job, after which he would return to his Great Barrington retreat for a month of recuperation. Trust all went well, Syl, and you have been able to moderate your Washington D. C. June conference with leading native Indians.

Lester Granger has had enough of hospitals and is now working on his memoirs of his life from the Urban League to international conferences. That should be a real American saga and must reading for all who are concerned with society of today.

Eric Ball takes pride in his wife Rose who is finishing her second year as president of the local chapter of the American Association of Retired People. The group started with nine members and now has over 350.

For the first time since eligible, Jack andMarian Bingham missed the May Class Officers Weekend, for they were on the Kungsholm cruise. However, the gathering will be reported to Jack for "The Road," since Tom Shirley, Stump Barr, DickWhite, George von Kopff, your scribe and our ladies will attend.

Taking home 30 bushels of personal correspondence, Bill Bemis retired from law practice April 21. After one term on the Alumni Council, he declined another. He and wife Billie wintered in Florida. Next they visited their daughter and son-in-law, the Arthur Amios at Greenwich, Conn., as they were enroute for a cruise on the Kungsholm.

The Baron tells your secretary we can win a Green Derby in the Alumni Fund this year if all participate. That means every classmate, widow, son, daughter, or other relative, so we can raise our participation percentage. Apparently the dollar quota will be met, but we of 1918 need participation, be it $1 or more, for the score as to which class wins depends on percentage of participation and quota assigned. May the 1918 Class respond 100%! Let's not wait for our 55th Do it now and then repeat in 1973!

May all have a good summer, sending your scribe news by the end of August for the October Magazine. That is how long it takes to get you old blokes in print.
