1920

Add another name to the "1920 Great Grandpappies" list! Dr. J. Almus Russell proudly announces that two-year-old Kelly Marie Winot of St. Petersburg, Fla., is the daughter of the daughter of the Russell's daughter. The Almus Russells spend part of the winter in Florida, and we can understand why — not simply to escape the winter in Bloomsburg, Pa., but to enjoy the sunshine of the smiles of their daughter's daughter's daughter Kelly Marie.

Besides having an extensive garden in the summer, Almus has a string of publications which accept the products of his prolific pen, among them Early American Life, The Antiques Journal, Windows of Vermont, NewEngland Outdoors, and New HampshireProfiles. The Morning Press of Bloomsburg in September reported that Almus gave an interesting, scholarly report to the Muncy Historical Society on "Those Remarkable School Readers of the 1800s," dealing with the works of Noah Webster and the influence of the famous McGuffey readers between 1836 and 1890.

Back in September 1916 a young man from Lewistown, Mont., entered Dartmouth, one Richard C. Hazen. With World War I raging, Dick, with many others, left college for the service. He lived in 27 Massachusetts Hall, which was also the residence of many 1920 men, such as Ed Bowen and Henry Page, Warrie Gault,Raynor Hutchinson, Kel Smith, and EbenWallace, and a number of classmates who are not now with us. Since then Dick has been missing from our class roster. Now I am happy to report his name has been restored. The Alumni Records Office reports that he has given his address as 598 South Main Street, St. George, Utah, 84770, and he is affiliated with the Dartmouth Club of Utah. Welcome back, Dick. It would be nice to have a word from you.

From Denver, Colo., Paul Richter has relayed to me this bit of news about Ned Schnayerson, one of 1920's contributions to the medical profession. Ned has closed his Park Avenue, N.Y., office and retired to his Riverdale, N.Y., home where he is enjoying his garden and his hobbies with his wife Madalene. The Schnayer-sons have two progeny: Bob, who recently resigned as editor of Harpers to undertake a new venture, and a daughter, who is a social worker in Peoria, Ill., the hometown of General Ike Miller '22, now retired and living in nearby Thetford Center. Enjoy yourselves, Ned and Madalene. May you have many happy retirement years together.

It is always a pleasure to hear about Frank Moulton, often through a note shared by Al Frey. Frank reports much satisfaction with his partners-in-law in his Littleton, N.H., office, one of them a fine young Dartmouth man. He also said the Town of Hanover had resurfaced Huntley Road, on which he lives, and he appreciates the improvement, as do the younger generation who now speed by his house; and finally that he and Kay find the food served at the Woodbine Cottage on Lake Sunapee superb. No waistline expansion, Frank?

Don McKay writes from Fisk Creek, Wis., that he is in good health from good good living, explaining that he is now down to his college trimness despite a healthy appetite, citing all the things he can eat, including his own home-baked sugar cookies and honey-flavored gelatin. Sanka and milk are his favorite drinks, but spirits are taboo. More power to you, Don.

We regret to report the news from Russ Cotner that he lost Altavene last April after 52 years of happiness together. Our deepest sympathy, Russ.

From Johnny Bedford in Jacksonville, Fla., comes the news that 28 years ago he was remarried to Mary B. We are happy to know this, John, and will make the appropriate changes in our records, if needed.

Gro and Genifred Plowman reported perfect weather last August for their tour of Scan- dinavia. They were especially charmed by the beauty of the Norwegian fiords. We concur, Gro. Our first glimpse of the midnight sun came just west of Solvaer on the Lofoten chain. What a sight! Unforgettable.

The Kinny Smiths spent a few nights in Hanover last fall. It was Kinny's first visit in more than 50 years. The Hanover Inn gave them a fine room overlooking the green towards Baker Library, Webster Hall, and the Chapel. Better plan another visit soon, Kinny, preliminary to our 60th in 1980.

A Christmas card from Charlie Goodnow in Santa Barbara was accompanied by a note saying that in November he celebrated his 80th birthday. Thank you for your card, Charlie, and congratulations on becoming an octogenarian.

Charlie and Elsa Crathern have been visiting on the West Coast this winter and, also, Bob Winters from Leesburg, Fla., I hear, has been trying a little California sunshine.

Adios, amigos.
