1925

Had a great visit with Larry Leavitt on October 30. He gave out a lot. He reminded us that the track around the playing field was named for Dot's father, E.K. Hall, with memorial stone hard by. The stone was sculpted by Larry's friend Charles Coletti and displays a plaque that reads, "Dedicated to the highest ideals of team-play and sportsmanship." Larry went to a luncheon at Vermont Academy October 22, a celebration for the Laurence and Dorothy Leavitt Planned Giving Society, closing with Dot's Vermont Academy Evening Song (Larry played this for us-he's a fine pianist). We tried to make church on the 29th, but the College Church had advanced the hour in accordance with the end of daylight savings time, and when we got to Norwich, churchgoers were coming out. Foiled twice, we went exploring. Drove to Thetford where we had been in '69 a beautiful site, very historic. Met Pete Blodgett and Louise at the Harvard game, also Donand Barbara Hunt. Peter and Louise were chipper and said hunting in New Brunswick was the best ever. Don and Barbara were chipper also. Don had been very ill with an infected ear. Barbara has been well. Our four oldest classmates now, after Walt von Lehn's death, are Hal Ryder, Terry McGaughan,Bill Boise, and Don Hunt. They will carry on in yeoman fashion. Ellie Norris has been given a big honor by Rotary. Details later. I appreciated a card from Prof. Walter Stockmeyer, greeting all the class. My son Dick studied under him for his M.S. degree.

CORRECTION: It was Ken Montgomery, not Dick McDonough who gave us Oh, The Places You'll Go. Sorry. But the McDonoughs have done plenty. Caroline and Dick helped in a big way at our 65th.
