Class of 1932
Whip Walser is no longer of the United States Army. He sent a postcard from Mexico saying he had been washed out of the Flying Cadets for having taken so many chances that they didn't think he would live long enough to make it worth their while to keep him. After participating in the celebration of Mexico's Independence Day, Whip was on his way to join some foreign air force "or do something else interesting." We hope to have something hot for you next month on this saga.

I his month's hard luck story comes from Pete Knight: "Two days before I was dueto sail with Grenfell for Labrador I wasworking on my boat heading off somerivets with a coal chisel when a splinter ofsteel flew off the head and lodged in myright eye. With the result that they spentthe next six days trying to hypnotize itwith a magnet. Failing in that they operated unsuccessfully. Well I got out of thatafter a month and it seemed to be doingpretty well, enough so that I took a coupleof short runs around Massachusetts Bay inthe kayak, when I discovered I was rapidlygoing blind in the poor eye. To make along story short, the retina separated fromthe back of the eye, they did a very delicatenew operation on it, and now after acouple of months in bed, by the grace ofthe last two years of medical science, I havean eye I can see out of. To be sure it isn'ttoo good, but it's a darn sight better thanone. I hope it will stay put now.

I wandered through the portals of the august New York Times the other day to chat with Joe Boldt.
