All classmates will be glad to read the following from Edgar, son of the late Tubby Blatherwick. Edgar is about ten years old, and is living with his mother and little sister Peggy, five years old, at Westfield, N. Y. Edgar received a copy of the 1906 Aegis which the Secretary happened to have, and was much interested in the photographs of the classmates of his Dad. Edgar, by the way, is the image of his father, whose loss is so keenly felt by 1906. Here's the letter :
"Dear Mr. Thompson:
"Your good letter and the book came several days ago, and I was awfully glad to get them. I have been meaning to write you, but like most boys have been pretty busy.
"Peggy and I have enjoyed looking at the book. I am working hard in school in hopes that I may some day go to Dartmouth. I am enclosing a clipping from the paper to show you what good work I am doing.
"Thanking you for the book, and hoping that you will come and see us again, I am
"Sincerely yours,
"Edgar S. Blatherwick."
Members of the class who remember how Norm Russell used to rough-house in Elm House will not be surprised to hear of his election as vice-president of the New England Foundrymen's Association. Ever since Norm's graduation, he has taken an active part in the foundry business originally established by his grandfather, continued by his father, and steadily expanded under Norm's leadership.
We learn from Ike Paul that he had the pleasure of dining the other evening with Henry Thrall of Minneapolis, who was in New York on a short business trip. Bug Gardiner happened to be in town at the same time on his way to a construction project in South America. Bug jumps from the timber lands of Montana, where we last heard from him, to South America, as easily as most of us go from the office to the 5.15.
Secretary, Ralph Thompson, 7 Creedway, Taunton, Mass.
