Tuesday, December 21, 1920

Wonderful bright cool clear day. Arose 7 A.M. Studied. Breakfast. To College 8 A.M. - 12:20 M. Dinner. Took nap. To Library to study. Supper. Down town. Family & Goewey to Uncle Henry's 92nd Birthday party. Good crowd. Fine time. To bed 1 A.M.

**********
Goewey is Hobart Goewey, one of Stanford's classmates. He has made several appearances in Stanford's diary. I have acquired a photo that went along with a short "bio" of him published in the 1921 Garnet Yearbook.


He does indeed become a minister, like his friend Stanford. In 1940, he is shown as being married to Ethel and having a 10 year old child, Elizabeth; he is a minister for the First Methodist Church of Newton, MA. I wonder if Ethel is the one whose picture he kept under his pillow?

By 1951 he has moved back to the Albany area, living in Providence, NY and serving as the Pastor for the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church. According to a family tree, he died in 1965.
