1929

As I was write we were readying for Christmas, and much of our world was at a standstill. Snow, snow everywhere, but very little in Hanover. The Christmas tree on the middle of the Green looked beautiful, as always, especially after dark with multicolored lights and at the top the golden star. A bit of sad news for shoppers in Hanover area and returning alumni: The last of Campion s stores is going out of business (by choice), and we shall miss it.

John Cavanagh '55 wrote us about being invited to dinner at then President John Dickey s home along with all the sons of the class of 29 at the time. We agree it was a very gracious touch.

He also mentions that his brother James E. Cavanagh Jr. 51, the class of 29 s baby, teaches one course per year, anatomy, at the Florida State University Medical School.

Mary Burke, widow of Dick, who lived in Wayne, Illinois, when Rip did, writes she so much enjoys receiving the Alumni Magazine.

Rip adds his verse: Love is Gods language and his rule Shared with us freely, sage or fool. Ours to give freely, never finished Our store of love does not diminish.
