Fennel in his rather retired location grows weary of the prolonged winter, and reads with longing of a temperature of 60°, February 19, in New York.

The following items are taken from an account of Goodhue recently published in Dayton, Ohio.

"In his younger years, Dr. Goodhue was one of several well-known Daytonians who made annual hunting trips into Canada, the Dakotas, and other northern regions, as well as into Florida.

"In later years he was a regular attendant at the annual outing of the Montgomery County Fish and Game Association, of which he was a member, where he 'swapped yarns' with others who in their younger years had been actively engaged in outdoor sports.

"Dr. Goodhue otherwise was not a great traveler, but in 1910, following a meeting of the American Medical Association in St. Paul, he went to London to observe methods of bone-plating perfected by Sir Arbuthnot Lane, who had visited St. Paul to demonstrate his treatment. Dr. Goodhue came back with all the knowledge he could absorb and a complete set of instruments and materials. Four weeks later he introduced bone-plating in Dayton.

"Because he was the first to introduce certain types of operations in Dayton, he was often referred to as a pioneer physician. He was the first to perform a cataract operation here, and in 1892 did the first appendectomy in Dayton. He was the first to do any work in intubation here with cases of diphtheria. Later he wrote a tract describing the 28 cases he had treated by this method in one year."
