1918

Here are the gleanings of the summer, saved from the "Roar" for this issue.

Hal Bloomfield's birthday card found him home happily active in maintenance of his home.

Frank Fiedler from lowa expressed appreciation for the class birthday card and gave encouragement to the secretary, who is having cataracts replaced by an implanted lens. Frank has had excellent results with such.

Mot Coon, on the birthday card he sent the secretary,.reported all well with him. He keeps in shape chasing rabbits and deer out of his garden. Mot, I understand the Pennsylvania deer herd is getting too large. The rabbit clutches certainly are, for all the many gardeners of Kendal are deluged with rabbits.

Phil Tusting was another to respond by a birthday card. He is gradually getting back in shape.

Doc McBride recalls his fellow high school and college pal Ned Ross, who died June 9, reporting that he never heard Ned speak ill of anyone. Another who lived by the motto, "Speak well of another or not at all."

George and Pat Stoddard escaped the unusual summer heat by staying at the Yankee Clipper on Cape Ann. It gave them the Opportunity to have luncheon with Barbara Hood at her gracious home in Manchester, Mass.

Chet Hulbert, when acknowledging the class birthday card, had just returned from a week with a niece on Long Island. He reported he will attend his 11th Alumni College. In closing, he congratulated the secretary on his first great- grandchild.

Bill Dutelle, while attending an eye clinic, had his car stolen from the parking lot. After all these years he confesses that his wife Irene is a jewel. Now that your secretary is at Kendal, Bill, on your route to Swarthmore, visit him as you go to your daughter's.

Now for the ladies, bless them!

Ethel Barr is always most thoughtful. She sent the secretary a news clip of the wedding of Bob Fish's grandson. She reports Stump is holding his own in the nursing home at White River.

Alice Huntoon, Louie's widow, sends a friendly message; finds she is slowing down like all of us.

Peg Sargent had an exhausting but delightful visit at her son Dave's with five of his six children, a great-grandson, six dogs, three cats, three goats, and six horses.

Billie Bemis is restless. The trip to Alaska was full of wonder at the magnificence of the glaciers, mountains, and wild life. This she follows up in the fall with a trip to Hong Kong and China.

Minetta Morey reports that Dartmouth meant so very much to Syl, "not alone because it was his alma mater, but for the lifelong friends he found. And we Dartmouth wives were fortunate in being a part of that circle." She enjoys her country home in the Berkshires but visits her son on the end of Long Island and had a winter with friends in southern France and a stay in Switzerland.

With great regret we report the death of PaulS. Miner on August 25.
