1890

Had a chat with John McDonald recently Reynolds is planning another cruise. Can't keep off the big transatlantic liners. His motto now seems to be "Je suis l'homme errant." .... The Secretary has caught the spirit and is leaving the middle of May for a trip through California and the Canadian Rockies Fred Woods and wife and also Vic Safford and wife have returned from their winter's sojourn in Florida I received the following from Vic:

"My dear Hardy: "I have your postal—'Give account of yourselves.' I suppose that you want me to tell you something of what I have been doing. At the urging of a friend who has a winter home in Clearwater, Fla., my wife and I went down there in January, and so settled for the rest of the winter in a rented bungalow in Dunedin, overlooking the sea.

"Fred Woods 'go and Mrs. Woods had a place near us, and Stephen Chase '96 and Dr. Harold E. Winchester 1910, all-year residents of Dunedin, were among our neighbors.

On February 26 we attended a reception at the winter home in St. Petersburg of Mrs. Edwin Brant Frost, wife of the late professor of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin, a Dartmouth 'B6 man. The same evening we attended the annual dinner of the Dartmouth Club of St. Petersburg. Including wives, there were about 50 present.

"On our return North we were guests in Washington for a week of Dr. William Gerry Morgan, who is well and running a big, active practice. We took a trip to see the much-advertised restored "Old Williamsburg," but I found the Mariners' Museum at Newport News, founded and endowed by Archer Huntington, much more interesting to me in every way. Pilgrims to "Old Williamsburg" should not miss the Newport News Mariners' Museum, only a short distance away.

"I am well and very busy, buzzing around in various activities, notwithstanding my retirement from my Boston Health Department job about a year ago. We expect to be here in Boston until we move to Woods Hole for the summer about a month hence."

Secretary, 34 Gray St., Arlington, Mass.
