1949

Lou Farrar spent 35 years in New York City with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company. He contributed mightily to Western civi lization by directing lending activities for Morgan in the construction and real estate fields and, geographically, at various times governed Morgan's action in Canada and the Caribbean. Did he merit retirement? You bet he did, and in 1983, Lou pulled the plug and the following year resettled with wife Alison (commonly known as "Ally") on 11 acres of choice real estate in Lyme, N.H. Ally and he have now been married for over 20 years and, between them, there are seven progeny, of whom all but one have made Lou and Ally grandparents. In fact, there are ten grandchildren. Lou dealt in real estate for a few years, but the staple of life on the Farrar farm is sheep raising. Alison is a singer of some renown in the Lyme/Hanover area, and Lou is involved as a volunteer in the lifeline program at Mary Hitchcock Medical Center. Lou skis and misses the pace of the Big Apple "like a case of athlete's foot." He recalls vividly buying an automobile from PunchyThomas some 15 years ago. (Would you buy a used car from Punchy Thomas?)

In Grosse Isle, Mich., our favorite medical doctor, engaging in general practice, is Art Morley. Art graduated from the University of Rochester Medical School after spending two years at Dartmouth Medical School. He's been practicing in Grosse Isle, which is southwest of Detroit, for over 22 years. Jeanne and he have three children and four grandchildren. Two of their children live in Detroit and Kalamazoo, respectively, and the third is at home. Most of his leisure is devoted to golf, but a recent highlight was a reunion at Wolfeboro, N.H., last summer with such fellow medical school luminaries as Jack Hartwig, Tom Huffman '48, and Bill Coleman '4B. Art understandably reports that this was an extraordinary reunion after an absence of 35 years.

One of the more extraordinary enterprises of any class member is conducted by Dick O'Riley, who owns and operates a wholesale tree farm near Phoenix, Ariz. One son is a student at Columbia University, two other sons are undergraduates at the University of Colorado, one daughter attends Arizona State University, and an elder daughter is a copywriter in Boston.

After 20 years of executive time with Johnson & Higgins in Philadelphia, Warren Norris, who retired at the beginning of this year, now enjoys that special time in life with Barbara in Cherry Hill. N.J. Of their three daughters, two are married and living in New Hampshire and New Jersey, respectively, and one presented the Norrises with a grandchild this past year. Warren has engaged in boating for many years he owns a Tartan 37 sloop and commenced playing golf in the aftermath of his retirement. At our age, that takes courage, which has always been characteristic of Warren's intrepid nature.
