1910

In late October just before we left for Florida for the winter, Karen and I flew out to Denver for a national executive board meeting of the Boy Scouts. I am now serving as a life member of the national board, of which I am the oldest member.

Bones Jones attended the annual dinner of the Dartmouth alumni association of southwest Florida on February 1 in Naples. Bones represented the oldest class present and was asked to stand and take a bow. Karen and I called on Bones and Rena while in Naples on February 15 and had a wonderful visit with them. On the 25th we attended a Dartmouth alumni luncheon with Phil Holden '31 and his wife Elizabeth. Bones Jones and I were asked to sit at the head table to be introduced. Bones and Rena left for home the following Monday. It was good to see so much of them this winter.

Our daughter, Betty Eastman Peyton, is now serving as her class secretary for Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Betty is the wife of Morrow Peyton '38.

Art Lord had a surprise visit from a niece of Bertha's from Peoria, Ill. Since they were interested in birds, Art took her and her husband over to Honeymoon Island to see the famous osprey rookery, where they saw about 25 nests in the pine groves.

Bill Taylor attended the December luncheon of the Dartmouth Palm Beach County Alumni Association. 1910 was the oldest class represented. Many undergraduates, home for the holidays, and prospective freshmen were present.

Bill keeps in touch with Otto's widow Ethel. Two of her cousins from Brewster, Mass., recently drove to Florida, and Bill had dinner with them. They reported Ethel was getting along fine. She still lives in Orleans, Mass.

Tilly Elliott (Mike's widow) was here on Captiva during January, visiting her old friends, the Jim Grays (Jim wrote the history of General Mills). Jim said Tilly was very well and anxious to get back home to St. Paul to resume her project with the blind. She returned home via Texas, where she visited relatives.

Bert Kent has refreshed my memory on the status of his family. He married Hazel Clark in 1920. She died in 1973. Children - Muriel S., born June 22, 1921, attended Mt. Holyoke; and Charles W., born February 23, 1923, attended University of Southern California.
