1898*
"Crowley now batting in place of Patey " One afternoon near the end of February Phil Patey dropped in on the alternate and informed him that at 9:15 the next morning Mrs. Patey and he were starting on a two months' trip which would take them as far South as New Orleans and West to the coast. If Phil carries out his intentions of looking up the various '98 men on his trip and sends back the reports he promised, there should be some interesting notes in this column next month.
While Florida seems to attract the Bartlet.ts and the Cranes, the western coast has the lure for the Pateys and the Carneys, the latter being in California for the month of March.
Bill Williams, being an authority on income tax and estate tax law, as was Fritz, and having many clients who make large contributions of income tax, and sometimes die leaving large estates, is a fairly frequent visitor to the Federal Building, and such visits result in a small '98 reunion each time.
Ike Seelman was the only '9B man at the New York Alumni Dinner on February 15, Ted and Doc being under the weather with severe colds. Ike wrote that he sat at the table of the "Oldest Living Graduates."
Pete Adams writes that his older son is now away from home attending a preparatory school, and that soon the question of going to college will have to be given serious consideration. What this consideration can be is not understood, for surely the young man will have to go to Dartmouth to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious father. Pete anticipates retiring in about four years and after that, for recreation, to "brush up on his Greek," light reading for him, no doubt.
Shortly after the appearance of these notes we will receive the annual cheery and welcome letter from Ted Leggett, welcome even though it is calling for our annual contribution to the Alumni Fund. As Ted has again lost one of his large contributors as well as his most prompt one, the least we may do is to make a prompt reply and response to Ted's appeal.
Fund Contributors for 1939 Contributors: 60 (120% of graduates). Total gifts: $1,263 (148% of objective). FREDERIC H. LEGGETT, Class Agent.
