1920

How many in the class of '20 are aware of the fact that our treasurer, Al Frey, has served as either treasurer or as class agent ever since graduation? In 1920 he became treasurer. For period during the fifties he was class agent. Then he returned to the office he now holds. What faithfulness and dedication! We are all indebted to you, A1.During my recent visit in Maine, son Doug Carter '49 and I had the very special pleasure of dining with Al and Hope at their beautiful Beersheba Farm in Dresden. The plot of ground on which their preRevolutionary house was built (mid-1700s) has remained untouched, the same 120 acres as it was in the beginning. Hope served a sumptuous and delicious dinner homestyle in front of the large fireplace in their charming kitchen. Such a warm, secure feeling permeates the atmosphere of an old house filled with artistically arranged antiques. Of course, the occupants of a house make a vast difference, too, and no couple could be more gracious than the Freys.

Let's all "give a rouse" for Dick Watts and his grandson Ben '84 who not only graduated magna cum laude but also won his letter in football. Dick was on hand for this grand occasion. Sam Center will never forget a return visit to Hanover in the thirties. He was with the New England Telephone Company. Those were hard times. Thirteen of his crew of 14 were laid off. He was a cable splicer. One Sunday night he heard a loud voice cry out: "Hanover telephone office on fire!" This office was above Campion's store. Cables melted off; cellar was full of water; Sam brought hip boots; crawled in basement window; cut all lines in town; spliced new cables; got to bed Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.

Red Tillson is sending out apologies for his "shaky handwriting." Cheer up, Red, your shaky handwriting is twice as good as your class secretary's unshaky handwriting. Dean Travis has made another cycle and is now 89. He would like, to know if he is the oldest man in the class. Speak up, '20s! TedCart continues to handle his own investments. If you lived a little nearer, Ted, I'd enlist your help. Larry Lovejoy reports he is "chugging along" in an unexciting day to day routine. Remember, Larry, we're all in there chugging along with you. Fred Marden is still fighting back in his good-natured and optimistic way in spite of some falls and slight strokes during the past six months.

Let's get busy all of us and send some encouraging messages to those who are "fighting back." Here is a list of names and addresses: Frederick T. Marden, Haven- wood-Room #A-15, 33 Christian Avenue, Concord, NH 03301; Henry W. Dearborn, 7 Pleasant Street, Orono, ME 04473; A. KelvinSmith, 22099 Shaker Blvd., Shaker Heights, OH 44122; George A.

And please be sure to include Burdette E. and Alice Weymouth, RFD#1 Greensboro Road, Lebanon, NH 03766.

It was my very good fortune to dine with our president, Sherman Adams, on my return from Maine. He is doing just great in spite of his recent physical bouts at Mary Hitchcock. I'm sure he too would enjoy hearing from you at Pollard Road, Lincoln, NH 03251.
