1925

Sad word from Dick Colton: "My beloved wife, Howell, passed away on Saturday, September 12." Dick married Howell, his second wife, in 1941. They had three children. Our deep condolences.

Bud Brown's wife, Isabelle, whom we all remember well from reunion, fractured her leg this summer and suffered excruciating pain. Doctors worked in several sessions and finally were able to short-circuit the fracture by replacing her hip joint. The pain was relieved. Isabelle was very plucky. We wish her the best. More in the next newsletter.

Molly Bates visited her sister in Oak Ridge for the whole of September and enjoyed being there for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Atomic City. Her sister, who works with ceramics, created pieces on tile which were mounted on large plaques for the art exhibit marking the occasion. Molly was thrilled.

Betty Sleigh's granddaughter, Anne, visited her from the University of Washington for four weeks, then returned to Seattle to study another year for her master's in forestry.

Fine letter from Jim Martin in Phoenix. He mentions a release by the Pentagon about the 50th anniversary flight of 150 Flying Fortresses from Halifax to England. The success of the flight was made possible through secret preparation by the construction organization for which Jim worked in Springfield, Mass., the principals of which were all graduates of Dartmouth and Thayer. A big plus for the College. (More in newsletter.)
