1888*
Clark and Hardy (we quote from letters received from both John Lew and George):
"Have one important thing to report, had the very great pleasure of a call from George Hardy. He was here visiting his grandson, John Jr., he who was made an honorary member of 'BB at our last reunion and has now entered Exeter Academy on his way to Dartmouth. George also visited his granddaughter at Abbott Academy, Andover. John Lew thinks this a happy combination as it may en- able him to see George occasionally."
George's son, John (Dart. 1922), has been in the army since early in June, and is now a Captain in the Ordnance Corps stationed in Illinois. Geo. was expecting to see him in Oct. when on his way to Texas.
Cobb and Spalding: The Sec. is pleased to have his rumor as printed in the Oct. issue confirmed by letters from both. I quote—"a week to be long remembered," "a real reunion, no topic in the history of '88 was omitted."
Cobb also reported a most enjoyable visit with Wendall Williams while he was vacationing in the Berkshires.
Cobb will soon leave his mountain re- treat to winter in Great Barrington.
Dunlap and Spencer: The Dunlaps will soon leave Daytona Beach and return to St. Petersburg. Their address will be Lex- ington Arms Apts., 816 Fourth Ave., North. Henry and Mrs. Spencer have apartments at the same address, with Gage 'B7 and Henry Austin 'B5 living just around the corner.
Rob Fairbanks writes from his old New Home in St. Johnsbury. Says his "true name is Rip van Winkle and there are but few left to talk of old times." "But," says Rob, "the sound of the ninepins still rolls among the hills to welcome the wan- derer. Here my daughter trudges up the same hill to St. Johnsbury Academy that I trod, and hastens to the sound of the same bell which quickened my step in the long, long past."
Mrs. Fairbanks is doing a most useful work by lecturing throughout the State on subjects vital to us in these days. Remem- ber that, from 1914 to 1918 and again from 1939 until they left England less than a year ago, Mr. and Mrs. Rob were part of that vital force which has enabled England to keep up the struggle, and I know of no one who can tell this story better than Mrs. Fairbanks.
