1933

The ladies come front and center in this month's news. Marge Worthington, as was, informs us that she has married Richard Gray Davis and has moved down the road in Chestertown, Md., to 462 Heron Point. We are delighted that Marge has found happiness and extend congratulations and best wishes. We overlook the fact that the groom pledges allegiance not only to M.I.T., but also to Harvard.

Eleanor Prince and Catherine Jennings have sent us notes thanking the class for the gift of books to the library in memory of Erv and Al. In addition, Catherine included a moving and well-deserved eulogy which their youngest daughter, Patricia, delivered at Al's funeral mass. We also were told of a touching example of the Jennings feeling for Dartmouth. When Al was in the midst of his last illness, his children gathered in his hospital room in a demonstration of affection. Their method of expression, led by Patricia, was a rousing rendition of "Glory to Dartmouth." He sure trained them well!

Joan and Ed Foley halted their marine peregrinations long enough to find terra firma in New Jersey and send us a Christmas card. Our next communication from them will probably come from Panama City or Pascagoula.

Bob Mitchell phoned us recently from the Bay State to check on our status and get a view of the Washington scene. He sounded very perky and gave evidence that he maintains a close watch on political developments in and around Boston.

Allen Gemberling ranks with our more vivacious members since he lists hiking as a regular pursuit and engages in a vigorous daily walk in Millburn, N.J., where he resides. He was one of the fortunate ones who found a job with Sherwin-Williams, the paint company, in 1933 and worked for the same company until 1976 when he retired. Since leaving the industry, he has devoted a great deal of time to hunger programs, having served on the board of the New Jersey Community Food Bank, and he now works as a volunteer with the Newark program on hunger. He boasts a Dartmouth son, five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

Hank Miller, who was with us for one year, is now retired and living in Rockville, Md., after a career in statistical data processing with H.E.W. (as was). He seemed to think it was newsworthy that he was 81 years old, but we assured him that such was par for the course in '33.
