Class of 1910

Frank L. Meleney writes as follows: "I am back in America now for good, trying to build up a practice in surgery in New York city. I am on the surgical staff of the Presbyterian hospital, which is soon to move up town and join with the College of Physicians and Surgeons as the nucleus of the big medical center." His address is 110 West 69th St.

Recently your Secretary and Mrs. Allen were fortunate enough to make a trip to the Pacific Coast, and while there saw several of the boys. In Los Angeles I found that Hiestand was in the East and planned to see some of the New York and Boston fellows. I found he was merchandise manager of one of the largest department stores in Los Angeles. In San Francisco we found Wilkinson and Spokesfield, and spent an evening with them. They are running a race to see who will be the last bachelor in the class. A lot of us saw Wilkie last reunion, but Spoke hasn't been around for a long time. He is the same as ever, and says he hopes to come on this fall to some of the football games. However, he has said that for several years past. Somebody has got to get after him and make him come through. Nobody in California talks except in terms of the largest. Spoke says his concern is the largest manufacturer of rubber hose in the world. In Portland we had dinner one night with Louie Langdell and his wife and little girl. Langdell is with the Northwestern Electric, as cost accountant. He hasn't changed a bit since he was back to reunion in 1915. Last year he was in poor health, and spent several months with the U. S. Forestry Department and had a wonderful time out in the forests of the Northwest. In Seattle we saw Chan Baxter. In spite of a lot of golf, Chan has put on considerable weight since most of us have seen him. I think we would have to look twice to recognize him. He is no longer with the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing Company, but expects soon to be in a business of his own.

Eastey hears regularly from Ernest Small, and the following extract from one of his letters is interesting: "On or about June 12 I expect to be detached from command of the Brooks and to report for a year's course of instruction at the Naval War College, Newport, R. I. I shall have no regrets at going ashore for duty, having been at sea for three years. After June 12 please address me at 36 Ayrault St., Newport, R. I." Perhaps we shall see him occasionally now.

Charlie Fay has been appointed special agent for handling group life insurance with the Paul Clark Agency of the John Hancock Life.

The Banker and Tradesman has a note in a recent issue that George A. Underwood has been elected treasurer of a newly incorporated firm in Gardner, Mass., the G. F. Richardson Company, insurance.

'Albany" Hatch is one of the Tenners climbing along in the world. He is now vice-president of Fuld and Hatch Knitting Company, Albany, N. Y., which manufactures the famous "Hatchway No-Button Union Suits."

Secretary, 40 Florence Ave., Norwood, Mass.
