1925

The largest assembly of '25ers during the summer was the happy gathering at Sunapee, N.H., on June 12 at Dot and Larry Leavitt's 50th wedding anniversary party. 38 were present, including the children and grandchildren, some members of the wedding party, and some old friends.

In the latter category were the following classmates: Marian and Curt Abel, Doug Archibald, Helen and Lloyd Brace, Betty and Tom Carpenter, Connie and Lane Goss, Ginie and Pete Haffenreffer, Billee and Bill Jenkins, Adeline Kimball, Kay and Bob McKennan, Ellie and Jack Norris, Velma and Rad Tanzer and Gertie and Ford Whelden.

The Jenkinses and Haffenreffers met again at Mount Hope Farm and joined Naomi and BobBorwell aboard the latter's Misty in Narragansett Bay to view the Tall Ships gathering there before proceeding to New York for the great July 4 parade. The Borwells also went to New York for this event on the way back to their farm in Michigan.

Bob Sharp, a winter resident of Chatham, Mass., spent the summer as usual on the Isle of Springs in the Boothbay region of Maine.

Ellie and Frank Wallis, summer residents of the same community and Floridians in the winter, planned a transatlantic roundtrip on the Queen Elizabeth II for September, with a week each in Paris and London.

Also leaving Cape Cod in September are Billee and Bill Jenkins, to cruise the eastern Mediterranean.

Ken McDonough and his wife, who live in Woodland, Me., like to spend the winters in Green Valley, Ariz. They too may have a September trip abroad, to England to see their son and his family. Their oldest granddaughter will matriculate at Colby College in Waterville, Me., this fall, while the oldest grandson will be entering the University of Idaho.

Ty and Martha Werner are also Maine residents, in the town of Westbrook. Like others of us in the state, they survive the winters, enjoy the springs, and do some traveling.

Our sympathy goes to Harry Clarke in Manhassett, N.Y., on the death last spring of his wife Frances.

Dorrie and Nate Bugbee this year again visited the Navajo country in the Southwest to enjoy the scenery and the people.

Lloyd Brace, retired from the First National Bank of Boston, the Dartmouth trustees, and various other activities, is now serving as president of the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Bob and Hilda Hardy have terminated the brokerage activities of their firm, Hardy, Hardy and Associates of Sarasota, Fla., which will remain an investment company. This will free their time for other activities. As reported elsewhere Bob received the Alumni Award for his dedication to the College over a span of many years. Mike McGean, secretary of the College, presented the award at the final Sarasota club meeting of last winter.

Don Moore, another Floridian, retired in Venice with his wife Anne, enjoys swimming, golf, bridge and travel. They planned a summer trip to Boston, New York, and Indiana to visit the five children and twenty grandchildren they have between them.

Carl Wilder Smith is enjoying life at the old family home in Cutler, Maine, only a few miles from the point where the sun first touches the United States each morning. He and his wife have been living there since he retired in 1971. They collaborate on a Cutler news column for the Quoddy Times, a bimonthly newspaper published in Eastport. Carl is a photographer and some of his work appears in the same paper. He is also interested in tape recording, belonging to a worldwide club of about 2,000 members and exchanging reels or cassettes with such places as South Africa and Australia, as well as points in the U.S.
