1916

When that unwanted summer visitor, hurricane Belle, hit Vermont it missed Al Lawton's Essex Junction. But Al reports that his old home town of Chester was washed out. Al also reported that Myrle and he celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Along that line, FletchAndrews wrote that Marg and he have just passed their 50th wedding anniversary.

Dan Dinsmoor is back in Los Angeles, and George Paine is back in Hutchinson, Kan., after long summers in New Hampshire. Sons of Laconia and Lakeport N.H., they find in their summer visits memories of those golden days of boyhood, or maybe here is an example of "the granite of New Hampshire in their muscles and their brains" that lingers on and on.

Dan says that this summer it was almost like running a motel and a coffee shop at his place on the lake. Must be something to the old adage, "If you build a better mouse trap, yet live in the wood, people will beat a path to your door."

A clipping that Dan sent tells about the three generations of Parkhursts who have gone from Winchester, Mass., to Dartmouth, with pictures of Dick's father and mother at his father's 60th reunion; Dick and Kay with son Stephen '52; his son John '79; their daughter Margaret, Smith '50; and her son Timothy '79.

With regret we add to those who have left us Margaret Bean, wife of our Cliff Bean. The sympathy of the Class goes to Cliff. Word came to us from Hanover that Anita Mensel, widow of our Jake Mensel, died in July.
