Overcast in A.M. Cleared in P.M. Arose 7 A.M. Made toilet. To college 7:45 to 11 A.M. Talked with Charles Dotter at Library. Took nap. To College to see annual scraps. Around town on errands. To Palace with Merlin & Russ. Bowled at Morse etc. To bed 11 P.M.

Ah, it's time for the annual "scraps" again! Remember last year's? If not, see my post, September 23, 1919.

Charles Albert Dotter was listed as Russell Norris's brother in the 1915 New York census. He was born June 13, 1898 in Pennsylvania. By 1918 he was married to Helena Hogan, and working at the Glenville Rail Yards for D&H Railroad doing car repair, according to his WWI draft registration. By 1920 he had a son, Ernest, and by 1930 he had four children. He was still living in Glenville in 1940, working as a car inspector for the D&H Railroad. Looks like he died in 1959 in Santa Barbara, where his son, Ernest, also lived until he died in 1991.

D&H Railway is the Delaware and Hudson Railway.  There's a lengthy article about its history in Wikipedia, if anyone is interested in reading about it: D&H RR. It's now owned by Canadian Pacific.
