1888*

Allard, Horatio E writes on May 3; have been somewhat out of commission for some months as the result of an automobile accident. "I am now able to get around after a fashion." He and Mrs. Allard live at 171 Hemenway St., Boston. Gene has for many years been in the electrical contracting business in Boston.

Porter, Frank M— It was good to learn from Frank's own pen that he is living at 46 Hallock St., Farmingdale, L. I. By unanimous vote we welcome you back to that small but choice society of '88.

Dunlap, Fred T— Sends a fine letter on Sept 4. Health improved, due to Atlantic breezes plus a good osteopathic doctor. He says kind words about the comfort of Daytona Beach in summer. Wish I felt at liberty to send them to the boosters column of that burg. Before cold weather he returns to St. Petersburg.

Davis, Frank ].—A note, just to remind us, that he and his wife are still able to carry on, but like Dunlap he finds the less he does the better he feels.

Gregory, Warren F.—Report says that Mrs. Hope Gregory Bird who added so much to our joy at our 50th has recently added another grandchild to our expanding list.

Lougee, W. W.—Doc is getting along as well as could be expected, this is professional lingo. This means that Doc early in August acknowledged an urgent request from the Cates to visit them in Maine by saying that he had his hat on and was just starting for the hospital for an eye operation on himself. Said he dreaded the prospect of having a couple of nurses hovering over him and he not able to see them. Wish I could print the letter in full, but I must remember that dictator, the editor. Yes, Doc is getting along fine and I have Mrs. Lougee's word for it.

Paul, Richard—us modest as ever. He cautioned me not to publish his letter, I obey.

Pearson, Fisher H.—to quote Wendell Williams. "I have received with sorrow the news of the death of Fisher Pearson." He had one of the keenest minds of the class. I wish I could have kept in closer, touch since we graduated." See necrology in this issue. We have lived all these years not more than 20 miles apart and still have met only at reunions. The passing of his beloved wife on May 1 as recorded in the June issue caused me to make another resolve to see and get acquainted with Fisher. Hence I find in my list of things to do as soon as I return from Maine the notation to see Fisher Pearson. So another desire has failed of fullfilment. His son, Fisher H. Pearson Jr., is worth knowing. He writes to the sec. on Aug. 15 expressing the deep appreciation of the family for class remembrance.

He records that his sister has a son in Dartmouth class of 1943.

Williams, Wendell and Mrs. Williams seem to have had a most satisfactory summer in their cottage at most sterville. I expect they have returned to Milford by this date.

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass.
