1912

When our good treasurer, Fletcher Clark, told us about expenses exceeding our income from class dues, he conceived the idea of polling our numerous widows, suggesting that they might feel anxious to be of assistance.

Nine widows responded, most of them with help to pay for their ALUMNI MAGAZINE subscriptions.

Some kind person had supplied me with a lengthy review of the business life of our fine old classmate Nelson L. Doe. The information seemed so exact that I proceeded to use it in his obituary, which was in the September issue of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.

But it was incorrect. He did not start working for General Electric. He enrolled with Turner Construction Company on April 27, 1913, and continued with them until June 1, 1960, retiring as vice president of the company.

Our class president, Lewis Waterbury, is again down in his winter home in Sun City, Ariz., away from winter's blasts.

Old buddy Quechee French says he is in good shape except for his eyesight. His wife drives for him.

The class of 1912 is sadly reduced in members, so your secretary finds it difficult to make up a class notes column. We are all trying to hold together, but at age 90 it is not easy.
