1925

Allen and Gertrude Bickford have moved for the 21st time since they were married this time from Tennessee to Heritage Village in Southbury, Conn., to be nearer their sons in New York. They are pleased with their new home and the surroundings.

Another mover is Paul Homneyer, who left Wayzata, Minn., for Mazatlan on the west coast of Mexico, where he reports having a comfortable home just off the beach. Paul has a grandson in the sophomore class at the College.

Matt Jones writes from Babylon, N.Y., that while he has not been back to Hanover in six or seven years, he is still traveling and enjoying retirement.

Al Horton is confined to his home in Somerville, Mass., because of emphysema but writes cheerfully that he still enjoys life.

Dodie Tower, at home in Pocasset, Mass., this past summer, writes: "When in Florida last winter saw Phil O'Connell at a 1926 reunion which I attended with Henry Whitmore. This summer has been busy with grandsons who are working for Kemper insurance on scholarships for college. One of them is at Syracuse and hopes to go to Dartmouth next year for business. We retired to the Cape in '69 and had five years of fun before Tip died in 1974. But I am very rich in children and grandchildren."

In July Pudge Wheeler's wife, daughter, and grandson stayed two nights at the Hanover Inn for an early low profile nudge to the grandson (about to go to boarding school). They had tea at the Tanzers' and stopped at the Baker Library, where this spring Marty sent about 350 books of Pudge's beloved horticulture collection as a memorial gift. Secured now for posterity in the botany section, the books carry individual bookplates in his memory. The last family graduate so far is Dr. Maynard Boynton Wheeler '6l, who followed his father's specialty of ophthalmology and practices in Hartford. Marty, of Southbury, Conn., had a lump in her throat when the Hanover Inn placed her name on a card on the Bulletin Board under "Dartmouths in Town."

David, son of Haven and Eddie Blake and a member of the class of 1961, has been an associate dean and faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh. Effective September 1 he was named dean of the Northeastern College of Business Administration in Boston.

Ken Montgomery of Chicago was recently named to the planned giving committee of the Harvard Law School, where he obtained his law degree in 1928.

In Florida in September the St. Augustine Art Association presented a collection of the visionary surrealist paintings of LangstonMoffett.

Margaret (Roger D.) Johnson writes from Richmond: "I am sorry I could not get to the 55th. I did get to New Hampshire in July and as close to Hanover as Woodstock. A cousin of mine there had an old sea desk belonging to my great-grandfather and her great-greatgrandfather, Captain Benjamin Larcom, who sailed out of Beverly, Mass., from 1797-1813. My cousin Lois Barrett Larcom (named for Captain Ben's wife) wanted my son David Larcom Johnson to have the desk. Therefore the trip to Woodstock to get it. My son Roger Jr. (Dartmouth '5l) took the occasion to visit his alma mater, showing it off proudly to his son and younger daughter. I wish I could have gone but time would not allow it. Maybe next summer!"
