1925

Charlie and Addie Moore celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on October 3 at home in Orleans, Mass. Charlie says, "We both agree that fifty is nifty."

Dave and Mary Burner are another couple who have reached that 50-year mark, but they did it in October last year with friends in North Carolina. They left Decatur, Ill., this past spring for a trip to the Orient, and Dave writes that they hope to see Mary Kelsy in California in January if they make it to the Rose Bowl game.

Ed and Frances Burns report a delightful summer in upstate New York and at the end of it were looking forward to a visit from Art andDorothy Smith of Toledo. Leaving October 1 for their winter home in Sarasota, Ed expressed regrets at missing the '25 fall gathering in Hanover for the first time since 1954.

Phil and Eileen O'Connell also had to miss the Yale game weekend and were resigned to seeing the team at Princeton, closer to their Glen Ridge home. Phil says, "Golf standing up pretty well for an old crock. Won my age group in New Jersey Seniors three times, the last time at Baltusrol with 82, 81. Won by 15 shots - wow!"

Charlie Graydon is keeping busy in Katonah, N.Y., with various hobbies, vegetable gardening, hospital volunteer work, and visiting with housebound friends. He too expressed regret at not being able to make the Yale game.

Bunny Levison writes from Brookline, Mass.: "Marian and I had a great summer highlighted by a trip to California - first to San Francisco where we spent several days with daughter Joan, then a three day trip down the coast to L.A. - breathtakingly beautiful. Spent three days in L.A. with my brother, Yale '27. Tried to work in a day with Stan Litschfield in San Diego, but regret we did not have the time."

From the St. Augustine Record in midSeptember we have a clipping headed "Author on TV": "Langston Moffett, a local author and a. contemporary of Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, will appear on 'Conversation,' a television talk show hosted by former St. Augustine resident Mike Gannon and broadcast from WUFT-TV, Channel 5, Gainesville, a public broadcasting system station.

"Moffett will participate in a discussion of Paris in the 19205."

Another author is Bob Misch, who says he is busier than ever teaching three wine courses in New York, being the new drink editor of HouseBeautiful and wine editor of Carte Blanche. While vacationing from all this at Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks, Bob and Janet had a visit from Dris (Huberth) Schriever and her husband Jack.

Another third generation representative in the College for 1925 is Gordie Marvel's grandson Jonathan, whose father Tom was in the Class of '56.
