1910

Walter Norton's daughter Nancy sat in the 1910 section at the Harvard game but did not enjoy it. Nancy was top-seed in the National Senior Women's Tennis Tournament, which she promoted. She has recently written an article on Hazel Wightman for Notable AmericanWomen and is now writing one on Babe Didrikson Zaharias.

Herb Wolff received from Monterrey, Mexico, a long letter from Ed Raabe, dated December 15, 1977. This was in answer to Herb's letter of November 14, forwarded to Ed by the National Business Exchange. Ed retired in 1950 and has not been back to New York since. Ed says he spends all his time exploring, researching, and writing.

On February 14 Karen and I drove to Naples, Fla., and spent the afternoon visiting with Bones and Rena Jones at their apartment. Rena fell and hurt her foot and could not go to the annual banquet of the Dartmouth Club of Southwest Florida. Bones and I represented the Class of 1910, the oldest class present, and were given a salute. President Kemeny was the principal speaker, and his talk was very well received with much applause.

Karen received a nice long newsy letter from Everett Robinson's widow Helen, from her winter address in St. Petersburg, Fla. She chose St. Pete because she is a rabid baseball fan, and two teams winter there. She goes to a game every afternoon. In the off season she visits her brother '25 at Vero Beach, Fla.

Pineo Jackson writes that they were snow-bound for several days, but they had their larder well stocked and did not suffer. He says this winter was cold, and snow in New Jersey reminds him of winters spent in Hanover.

Osborne Shenstone, who lived in Lake Worth, Fla., for many years, passed away January 28 in St. Mary's Hospital in Palm Beach. I reported to you on my visit with Ossie in December at his home in Lake Worth. His wife Gladys died April 21, 1976. His son Joe '38 lives in Birmingham, Mich. Joe has furnished information for Ossie's obituary.

We received a note from Mike Elliott's widow Tilly saying the Florida weather is too rainy and cold for her this winter, and she is staying by her warm fireside in Minnesota. She reported that her bird list from Africa was not as long as she would like because the guide specialized in animals. She says she does know a giraffe without introduction when she meets one.
