1888*

John Lew Clark—The Secretary on Friday the 13th of June passed a pleasant hour with John Lew and Mrs. Clark at their attractive home in Exeter. They both seemed in fine spirits and hoped to spend July and August at their camp in N. H. No more grandchildren to report at present.

Fred T. Dunlap and wife—Our Nomads —did not come North 'til May this year. As they stayed in Florida all last summer, it had been nearly two years since they had seen New England. They pronounced Florida not so bad a summer resort as they expected. A class meeting was held in Boston while they were there, Mr. and Mrs. Fred and the Secretary being present. It was good to get an 'BB view on Florida. Fred'was in Hanover for commencement, reports no other 'BB men present. His ad- dress during the summer was 54 Nashua St., Milford, but he seems to have been vibrating between Milford and all parts of New England. He expects to be heading South in early October and his address will be 115 Second Ave. N.E., St. Petersburg.

Dr. Richard S. Ely—ln Dick's last letter he records in a most nonchalant manner"have just finished one patient with a fish bone in his throat and another with a rusty nail wound and now I will write you a line." I recovered from the letter but I am wondering about the other two patients.

Charles T. McCarthy—we are glad to express our appreciation to Roy Bunting of the Class of '22 for his contribution to our class Alumni Fund in memory of Charlie McCarthy who was his uncle.

Fred Louis Pattee—Pat still has a generous amount of the Granite of New Hampshire in his blood stream as evidenced by the publication in The New HampshireTroubadour of a recent poem entitled "Lilac Time." We are glad that long residence in Florida and North Carolina has not lessened the red corpuscles.

Fisher H. Pearson, Jr.—son of our "Ben," whom we remember most pleasantly at our 50th, was married in June at Kendall Green, Mass. The fortunate lady was Miss Nancy B. Green.

Henry F. Spencer—still has two suits of clothes and perhaps an overcoat. I know it for his check (contribution to Al Fund) was lost and he accused me of having it in my desk. But it was eventually found in one of his pockets in time to get under the wire by June 30th.

The Secretary—wishes again to record a personal note in spite of its bad taste.

My conclusion is that as an advertising medium the MAGAZINE is a flat tire for did I not in the June issue invite all '88 men who chanced to be in Maine during the summer to come to Ocean Point and eat lobsters at our modest retreat (no charge), it is now September 8 and only Doc and Mrs. Lougee showed up. Yet they made us a too brief visit but much to the delight of the Cate household. The following week I understand they again trended into Maine, this time to Moosehead Lake, where Larry Lougee '29 has a camp. In fact it was a Lougee roundup—with Doc, Winna, Richard, his wife and son, and Larry.

Secretary, 11 Oak St., Belmont, Mass. Treasurer, 135 Summer St., Maiden, Mass.
