1920

Class President Sherm Adams was in Hanover for the Harvard game and visited with Bud and Alice Weymouth. (Pat Holbrook and his wife were also at the game.) Sherm was "surprised at Bud's progress. ... He was bright and witty and moved around well . . . His condition probably has to be classified as marginal, but substantially improved." Keep it up, Bud.

The following items come via Al Frey: From Charles Hutchinson: "Still hanging in there. We saw Nate and Mildred Whiteside in Sanibel, Fla., in March. Saw Hazel Macomber later in Naples."

From Warren Turner: "Since my wife died in 1977 I have had my widowed sister (age 90) live here for company for us both. Now she needs a good deal of help 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I solved the problem by offering a young couple with a baby a three-room apartment rent-free, with free food, in return for the necessary help. Now my household is: one 90, one 83, one 25, one 24, one one and a half. Never a dull moment!"

From Bob Farwell: "Kindest regards to you. I am still healthy and happy, 86 years. Hope you are as well, too."

From Ralph Roberts: "Hope this finds you well and happy. Ole '20 seems to be faltering; well, it was good while it lasted, right?" (As an old car buff I subscribe to the Old Car Weekly and, I read some time ago that Ralph had been elected to the Car Designers Hall of Fame.)

From Ralph Sunergren: "I'm afraid my contribution to class notes comes down to, 'Hi, Al; best to you.'

From Henry Hayes: "I trust you are in good health. As for me, I am hanging in there but spend most of my time in the easy chair. One day follows another, with little news to send. I don't expect to get to Hanover for the 65th but will try. Best regards, Hank."

From Charlie Crathern: "Just back from '20/'21 monthly meeting at Concord. You and Hope should join us once in a while. Live it up, boy. . . . Elsa has very little sight, which handicaps her getting around out of the house."

And from Ted Marden: "Too bad about Bud Weymouth. Takes me back 20 years. I had my stroke in 1962. He can say a couple of words; I couldn't say anything. He will come along. It takes patience don't worry and mind the doctor. I have a grandson who entered Annapolis July 7, 1982. His parents are Barbara and George Pasickuke of Littleton, N.H. George is principal of the Littleton High School."

After so many tales of woe, let's go back to happier times our class newsletter of April 1923: "LOW COST OF REUNION: The rates for June have been announced as follows: one night $2.00, two nights $3-00, three nights $4.00. Plan to stay the whole time and save money. ... IN PUBLISHING BUSINESS: When you go into the publishing business, you are told you can easily become financially comfortable by rising to the president's position, gaining control of the stock, and dragging down a fat quarterly dividend. In the meantime, you are asked to live (or try to live) on a nominal sum,' says Dick Pearson. Since graduation, Dick has spent a year at Columbia. He has been with Lyon and Carnahan, publisher of school textbooks, since leaving Columbia. He calls on the schools of New York City."
