1927
The May class officers meeting in Hanover found the Class well represented by President Ken and Ruth Murray, Secretary Chuck and Marie Baker, Head Agent Sam and Allice Wormser, Bequest Chairman Paul and Helen O'Connell, Speakeasy Editor Tom and Dot Gillespie and reunion assistant chairman Larry and Ora Scammon.
Doane Arnold reports from Sun City, Ariz., that he and Marie had been at their winter home since mid-November, but were flying back to New England in May. They had seen Dow andAlice Mills who were in Arizona since January. They also had seen Rev. Nick Carter and Dr.Lowell Wormley a couple of times.
Don McCall has been checking on the athletic claims of Curt Wright, but is afraid to make public his opinion because he isn't sure he himself could do more than walk a good 440. Don and Betty enjoyed two months in Key Biscayne, and are now back in Sharon, Conn.
Ed and Dot Jacob are among those who listed Florida in their winter sojournings. They have promised to include the Midwest in their next barnstorming in their new Airstream trailer.
According to the Winter Garden, Fla., Times, six past district governors and other dis- tinguished Rotarians were on hand to hear CliffRandall, past International president, reminisce about his experiences a few years back as head of Rotary.
Paul Revere O'Connell celebrated his birthday playing in a club golf tournament. He thinks it proper for Massachusetts to declare that day a holiday each year.
Phil Hunt says it doesn't have to be a holiday for him to play golf in Vista, Calif., just be retired and moderately healthy.
Tom Gillespie continues to produce those outstanding Speakeasy class letters. In his spare moments he is serving as chairman of the United Fund, having been president the last two years, and he continues as chairman of the Commission on Aging. They have established a five day a week Drop In Center, provide minibus service, medical testing sessions, and are considering a $1 hot lunch program for the elderly. (In our county they get free legal advice!?X.)
We are indebted to Charlie Huntley and Chuck Field for information contained in the obituary of Fred Thompson. Charlie began a lifelong correspondence when Fred went to Florida after his health broke down in 1930, and both of them were interested in the citrus industry. Fred was Chuck's closest friend in college, and they worked together in the Outing Club.
Easter Sunday we had a nice visit with Jimand Katherine Picken at the Greenbrier at White Sulphur Springs where we had all been enjoying a Chessie shareholders house party for several days. Exactly 50 years ago that week he had been on a southern trip with the Dartmouth baseball team. Jim preferred to talk about having a reunion of that great basketball team which won the championship in 1927. Jim promised to come to fall reunion October 10-11. Three days later his heart stopped.
We are sorry to report the deaths of Reynolds Guyer, March 19, Paul G. Woelfel, March 23, James E. Picken Jr., April 2, and Ros Nichols, April 19.
