1929

A clipping from Squeek Redding describes a ceremony honoring Mort Jaquith, held by the Worcester County Lawyers' Guild of St. Thomas More. Mort won the Ecumenical Plaque, awarded annually to the lawyer "who has demonstrated the humane principles of good will and kindness to his fellow men and women." An active Episcopalian, Mort is a member of the Worcester Commission for the Promotion of Christian Unity.

The Daniel Webster Council, Boy Scouts of America, has honored Chief Justice Frank RoweKenison by naming him a 1975 New Hampshire Distinguished Citizen. The nominating sponsor wrote: "Most often, a cloak of anonymity envelops those who sit on the bench of justice. In some cases this may suit the function. For others, however, there must be personal participation and strong identification with the purposes of the great American judicial system. Frank Kenison is the latter kind of man. For nearly 25 years he has served on the Supreme Court of New Hampshire, not only adjudicating and counseling, but always striving to bring the contemporary standards of society into application in making his judgments." He has received many honorary degrees, and in 1973 was given the Robert Frost Contemporary American Award. Despite his active judicial role, Frank finds time for outdoor life; fishing is his favorite avocation.

A couple of items of interest from our noble leader, Duke Barto: "This past fall Bill Keyes ventured east from his Sequim, Wash., fief. He visited with Trunkie and Ruth Brittan for the Penn game and spent some time with Ed andPolly Chinlund; visited his home town of Malone, N.Y.; spent the night with Bob andMary Louise Austin in the Berkshires; stopped by the Heaths; and topped it off with an overnight visit with the Cavanaghs. As William Faulkner said, 'A body gets around.'

"In looking over the Dartmouth Hockey Book I noticed that Molly Bott holds the record for goalies an average of 1.63."

Some more of your notes sent to Jack Hubbard:

- Morgan Baker: Margie and I moved here to this most excellent retirement residence, Casa Borinda, here in Montecito, last May. We had thought we might have second thoughts about leaving Ojai and all that was wonderful about our life there, but the new life here is all that we had hoped for and more. Of course we are only 40 minutes from Ojai so we have the best of two worlds.

- Ed McGibbon: In the winter I am apt to be at our ranch in Arizona, which my son Bill (Univ. of Penna. 1966) now runs. I am largely retired from my law practice, and do work only for several old clients. Last year I sold my aircraft business in Tucson, although I still have my plane and fly a good deal. Do you know of any other active pilots in 1929? If so I would like to have their names.

- Al Floyd: Would like to retire but they won't let me. Named president of Lynwood Battery Mfg. Co. - storage batteries. Just more responsibility besides trying to keep my accounting license by going back to school. Best wishes to all the classmates.

- Donald Childs: Fully retired to Florida as of February 1975. A great life, especially when combined with three summer months at our lake home in Jaffrey, N.H. Regret not doing so three years ago.

- Philip Fitzpatrick: No news to report just loafing around at the same old stand.

- Bill Dodge: Living in New London and closer to Hanover activities than we have been for many years. Golf, gardening, grandchildren, and a few trips keep us well occupied. Marion and I both enjoyed the class dinner last Saturday but my enthusiasm for watching football in the cold rain is receding.

- Another rain victim - Gus Wiedenmayer: We were in Hanover for the Penn game with Dick and Mary Burke but the rain drove us back to our second home in Conway, N.H. Sorry to miss you all.

- Phil Rising: See John Laffey fairly regularly at Cape Cod alumni luncheons.

- Mat Rock: Not much news except that we're moving permanently, to the Cape on November 18 - 223 Hickory Hill Circle, Osterville, Mass. 02655. I hope we'll be able to make it to Hanover a few more times a year. Best to all.

Charlie Gaynor died in December while visiting friends in Washington in order to attend a new musical at the Kennedy Center. Who can forget his Carnival musical comedy hits - TheGreen Peach and Double Trouble?
