1915

Here we are in the final month of the year and, by all rights of the game, the information available should so indicate.

A letter from George Ingalls, written on September 30 (our combined birthday) reports a "swell day" in Boulder, Colo., with white new snow on the high peaks seen from his apartment, tempting him to take off into the mountains and take advantage of the view from up there. He and Jack Little, who was visiting him, did take a morning walk and enjoyed the view confronting them. George was scheduled to take off for Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the next Saturday to board a ship that was destined to deliver him and 19 others to Casablanca, Morocco, and be taken to other spots in Spain and Portugal. George said he was taking along some anti-sea sickness pills, admitting that he was not a good sailor.

I have just received word from Alexander D. Gibson, Class of '24 and vice president of the Woodsville-Wells Rotary Club, that he was given the privilege of presenting a testimonial at a Rotary Club banquet in honor of Harold K.Davidson who was past district governor and a member of the above-mentioned Rotary Club for 47 years. It was a very fine tribute to Hal and he was presented with a plaque commemorating his many years of membership and the fact he exemplified to a very high degree the cardinal principle of Rotary - that of service to others.

After graduating from Dartmouth Hal entered Harvard Law School and eventually was elected to the New Hampshire Legislature where he served with distinction from 1921 to 1931, being honored with the posts of Speaker of the House and President of the Senate. Space will not permit reproduction of the fine tribute paid to Hal in this testimonial but our sincere congratulations are extended to Hal for all of his achievements.

George Martin comes up with some in- teresting news. He went up to Hanover for the first of the home games and expects to do the same for the rest of them. He reports that RalphBrown, wife and son were doing well after a fine summer with many of the family. They sat next to Eben Clough and Kike Richardson and expected to do the same for the other games. Kike is reported still cooking hot dogs for everyone, even including Leroy Porter whom he reports O.K. in spite of poor eyesight. Jack Bowler was another '15er in on the gathering. BushCampbell was reported fine. George says he has 18 seats for the family for the Harvard game. Both George Dyke and Marv Frederick report that next Reunion will be in June '75. Kike is reported having enough to keep him continuously busy. George did go to the Penn game with Kike. George reports that Duze is due to return to his new apartment shortly. He also stated that Dale, for the first time in many months, attended the monthly meeting of the Retired Men's Club in Wakefield. Dale met Al Bull there and they drove up to the Does' at Harvard to get some apples. Tex was working but they did see one of the sons.

With which, let us wind up with best wishes to all for the coming year. May it be a happy and profitable one for all!
