1930*
Let's begin with the important business of engagements, marriages, births and the like What do you think? Chandler is engaged. His betrothal to Miss Margaret Earle Clark daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Clark of Manomet, Massachusetts was announced November 9 and the wedding will take place December 8. But the 1930 reunion will go on Ray Bernhardt joined the ranks the day before, his engagement to Miss Helen Claire Ecker of New York City, sister of Art Ecker '31, being announced November 8. Miss Ecker is still a student at Simmons College which fact will probably defer the wedding until June. Ray is still with the Boston office of E. H. Rollins and Sons, Inc., in the security business And Charlie Austin, what about those prospective nuptials of yours?
And Freddie Bowes, the postage meter man—wouldn't you know he would be affianced to a descendant of the first postmaster-general of the United States, one Samuel Osgood, not to mention John Quincy Adams. The girl is Miss Mary Priscilla Herron, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Herron of New Canaan, Connecticut.
Art Behal may not see this because we can't find his address but the Far Rockaway, New York, News tells us that he was married to Miss Sylvia N.

dear skip don t ask me how i got there but i was there all right and so was my girl friend lorinda the louse until she got caught in her giddy fashion in that rockefeller center air conditioning business vie borella may think he has all the r c labor unions negotiated but he had better watch out because lorinda is a union louse and she would just as soon make trouble as not and a little sooner she says a lockout is bad enough but a blowout is more than any louse with class feeling can take without being washed heated cooled and filtered
lorinda is not going to stay loyal to you thirty boys much longer anyway if you keep losing hair this way she likes things cushy but as long as you get an occasional lunch like that ill hold on how a free lunch draws you boys in why i wouldn t have been surprised to see adams and callaway from Chicago or the mighty swiss of williamsport pa
but nine out of twelve is plenty well i bet the boys told their secretaries at three pm they couldn t get away from an important meeting but it looked to me like a lot of esophagus stuffing and horse play i personally don t see what all the hooting was about when chandler pulled that toreador costume out of his reticule if you ask me its just the thing for a thirty reunion eh lorinda i m glad you re not going to give the wives too cold a shoulder though personally not interested in the sex question i like to see the frails get a break incidentally i see after all the riding given the unbetrothed chandler he went home in desparation and got himself engaged i don t quite see how bachelor booth got off so easy i wasn t a bit surprised when haffenreffer reported how the boys are paying dues even better than last year my letters
are doing quite a bit for your column and they figure they re getting their moneys worth this year maybe this doesn t seem quite modest to you but genius must recognize itself even if i m not quite the collectors item lorinda is
when the editors get started on that class biographical report for next spring i will be glad to handle the tapeworm department if that word gets around the boys will rush to pay up and get a copy otherwise frankly i fear for the success of the report some of your boys have been places and done things but they haven t been the places i've been not by a long shot of course all the insurance boys will come in to get all the dope on wives and babies even if you charge them ten times the class dues as bottome suggests by the way that was a payoff when nelson rockefeller jumped out of his seat when he heard there was going to be a tenth reunion doesn t he read our stuff at all say thats quite a collection of twins with duos for the blanchards tobeys schellers alderdices and rockefellers with the possible exception of my old friend larry the liver fluke who hasnt been out o£ his cyst for ten years i never saw such a guy for remembering quaint statistics like this as bud french well as john french says its high time to adjourn because we go to bed early in Vermont but count on me for the next feed andy
