1939

It is with sorrow we report the death of HenryWelton on March 28 in Menlo Park, Calif. An obituary appears in this issue.

It has been a long time since we have had any news from Jack Boynton, but the latest tells us that he and Mildred are leaving their home in Basking Ridge, N.J., to take up residence on Nantucket where a new home is being built for them by their son Peter (Bucknell '70) who currently lives on the same exotic isle. Son John Jr. (Dartmouth '64) lives in Falmouth, Maine, and is in the administration of the Portland School system. The youngest third of the Boynton issue is Andy, a sophomore at Boston College. There are two granddaughters, a welcome addition to a male-oriented family. The Boyntons see Bob Timbers on occasion, keep in touch with Bob Fletcher, a California resident, and this past fall had a Nantucket visit with Bozo and Janie Noland.

Jack Parkhurst writes that he is still teaching full time, having passed up an offer of the Dean's chair. The classroom, he says, retains his total interest.

We sadly report the death of Dick Brooks's wife Phyllis on February 17, after a courageous bout with cancer. For her many friends in the Class there is a fund bearing her name under the aegis of the Christ Hospital Chemotherapy Fund, Cincinnati, Ohio 45219.

Moreau Brown lectured at the Harvard Graduate School of Education on "corporate support" this past March. Brownie remains big in the Bicentennial effort, and with wife Sisi he spent some time in London last fall representing the Thirteen Original States at the opening of the Franklin-Jefferson Exhibit in that city. More recently (January) Moreau had one half of an inguinal hernia repaired, and reports that daily swims are keeping him in good trim.

Time Inc. has sold Time-Marketing Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, to a new company formed by Bill Conway. Bill has been an executive with Time Inc. for 30 years, before this independent venture. The company solicits subscriptions to magazines of various publishers including Time - and provides other marketing services as well. It is headquartered in Teaneck, N.J.

Dot and Henry Conkle recount a winter vacation with such relish that we quote for all to enjoy: "It was one of the best trips of our lives this past February. While the passenger trains are still operating, we took the Canadian Pacific west from Calgary to Vancouver with a stay at Lake Louise in the dead of winter. We went cross-country around the lake, right up to the glacier, and we walked on the ice on the lake, which is the most beautiful spot we have ever seen. Then we took the Canadian National train back through Jasper to Edmonton, right through the highest mountains in the Rockies in vista-dome cars both ways. The temp was 42 below the night we left Lake Louise, but we enjoyed clear, wonderful picture-taking weather the entire trip. The trains are clean, the chow and bar are good and we recommend the trip as a worthwhile gamble in the middle of winter." We note that the Conkles spent a week but a month later at Young Island off St. Vincent in the Grenadines, sunning, swimming and sailing. No doubt it was a necessary antidote to the midwinter gambit.

Also sunning in the off-shore isles were Jackand Lois Kuhlke who put in some time at St. Croix during March.

Less fortunate was Mary Darby wife of our newsletter scribe, who took a tumble on winter ice and broke a leg. The cast was off by March 16th.

And talking of the ladies, we have some new addresses: Mrs. John Larrabee can now be reached in care of Edward Bayley Jr., Box 358, Picture Rocks, Pa. 17762; Mrs. Max Goldstein is at 779 Prospect Ave., Apt. 14-B, West Hartford, Conn. 06105; and Helene Dee (Mrs. Jack) who was married to John Bates until his death in 1954, can now be reached at 2023 Hyde Park St., Apt. 11, Sarasota, Fla. 33579.

A final reminder that your scribe is constantly on the look for a bit more news to finish our season with a bang. There are a goodly number of classmates from whom we have not heard in years. Drop us a note for our June issue.

Above, (I) Bud Reed '37, Dan Marshall'38, and Bill Watson '40, in the firstMarine OCS class, 1940, Quantico,Va., and reuning last year at Marines'200 th Anniversary in Washington, D.C.
