1928
The report on the fall reunion will have to be held over until next month because the deadline for these notes is a week before the Princeton game.
George and Eleanor Klein won't be able to get to the reunion. They moved from Pittsburgh to Sarasota last spring, intending to keep up their regular attendance at the '28 fall reunion, but Eleanor's sister is seriously ill and Eleanor is taking care of her. George has attended the local Dartmouth and Ivy League meetings but the reduced summer attendance included no other '28ers except Don Solis, who is secretary of the Dartmouth Club and treasurer of the Ivies, which sounds like an occupation.
Pete Bennett retired as Montclair manager for the N.J. Bell Tel four years ago but in September he and Dorothy said goodbye to Montclair and Morristown, and moved to 1642 Killean Court, Apopka, Fla. Poring over a road map we find Apopka is close to a large lake of the same name and not far from Orlando.
Mai Beal, who joined the faculty of the University of Miami 35 years ago and was chairman of the English Department when he retired, says: "No special news. Rachel continues volunteer work at the local Museum of Science, in the library and, as assistant editor of their magazine. I tend the yard and take my ease as seems desirable."
Rem Kinne wrote from Bolton Landing, N.Y., that he and Rel are planning on attending the fall reunion. They enjoyed the summer at their camp on Lake George Island and the visits of their Seattle daughter and family and their Boston son and family.
A nice thank you note for a birthday card from Iz Rubin didn't include any news, but looking over his questionnaire for the last '28 directory we found that we had missed the fact that he is a member of the National Executive Committee of the Zionist Organization of America. He and Karla spend their summers at East Jewett, Greene County, N.Y.
A year ago Dave and Alice McCathie had a car accident and Alice has been in hospitals and nursing homes ever since. December 1 Dave brought her to Rogers Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., for tests and finally an operation for water on the brain. She is now in the Oak Meadow home in Alexandria, learning to walk. Dave has taken an apartment in the same building as his daughter: 6036 Richmond Highway, Alexandria. He is looking forward to getting back to their home in Ridge Manor, Fla., just as soon as Alice can walk.
Maxfield Parrish retired from Polaroid in 1972 after 32 years in the research department. He says: "With the family background, my grandfather, father, mother, kid sister, and now my daughter all being successful in varying degrees in the field of painting. I just had to give it a whirl, myself. I spend about one third of my time painting, another third tidying up after settling three estates with still some hard-to-move paintings by various family members lingering, and the other third fending off those who, upon seeing a man retired in good health, not having to work, think to themselves, 'What a waste of skilled man power! I must immediately enlist his energies in my x x x project!' Liberty of independent action must be fought for every day of your retired life, not just weekends when in your job-holding years. I don't mind this, really. Keeps the mind alert."
In July Ken Robbie moved from Ridgewood, N.J., to 13488 Mason Village Court, St. Louis, Mo. His daughter and her three children live nearby, and his son Ken Jr. lives in Cherry Hill, N.J., and has three children.
The first address change since 1942 for Charlie Lamson indicates he has moved from Wellesley Hills to 180 Mill Road, Falmouth, Mass.
Larry Martin, former chairman of the board of the National Shawmut Bank, has been named a director of Liberty Mutual Fire Insurance Co.
Ted Howard, who retired from Kendall Mills in 1970, has been working halftime as sales manager for Pagel Corp., Norwood, Mass., a paper converting firm owned and operated by Jack Kenerson's son-in-law. He says business is good and they have just completed a new and larger plant in a nearby town. Ted also announced the arrival of their sixth grandchild. Last March he and Jeanne had a week in Bermuda and are spending October on the Cape. He saw Rocky and Ruth Keith in Marion the end of September - Rocky had just had Howie Bush out on his boat.
With sorrow we report the deaths of Frank Tindle June 6, Henry Scherp August 16, and George Buckingham January 6.
