This marks the end of my fifth year as class secretary. I hope you approve my Class Notes, and would welcome any suggestions or criticism you might have. Regretably, my 1939 news is limited to the passing of three eminent classmates—Colby Cogswell, Bill Goodman and Baxter Prescott. Colby died November 11, 2009, in Orinda, California. He had the unusual career of being both a trust officer of Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco and an ordained Episcopal minister of a church in Berkeley. Bill Goodman died February 21 in Danbury, Connecticut. After managing and closing (in 1958) the family hat business, he joined a commercial warehouse and moving company, serving as its chairman. An advocate for social justice, Bill pursued his vision of a city diverse in both industries and people until Danbury became that city. Quoting the Danbury newspaper, he was “a Danbury leader whose influence is reflected in commerce, education, government and even the physical layout of the city.” Baxter Prescott died April 16 at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center just a month shy of his 93rd birthday. His 37-year career was with the Bell Telephone System, first in Washington, D.C., where he met and married Eloise Collingwood, and then in West Virginia. In 1977 they retired to Hanover, where Baxter was active in Dartmouth and 1939 affairs, including chairmanship (with Ellie) of our 65th reunion and serving on the 70th reunion committee. A poignant memory is that both Baxter and Bill Goodman attended our 70th last October. Our heartfelt condolences go to the families of Colby, Bill and Baxter. —Robert L.
