1922*
GREETINGS TWOTERS: The responses on the information sheet sent to you in late September have proven to be very interesting. Of the returns so far practically 98% reflect participation in Civilian Defense activities and responsi- bilities. In addition many more twoters have entered the Armed Forces. Beside those mentioned in recent issues of the MAGAZINE, we have news of Ted Robie as Major in the Army Medical Corps, Ray Millemann as an Army Captain and Ike Miller, Captain in the Army Air Force. Also Russ Harmon, U. S. Naval Reserve Lieutenant; Lieutenant Colonel John Mc- vjioan, Medical Corps; Joe Woods, First Lieutenant U. S. Army; and Ed Mac Lain and Mose Perkins, privates (?).
It is a difficult job to keep abreast of the many changes and you will be doing the class and me a great favor if you will let me know when you move around.
I am hopeful that more of you will re- turn the information sheet—only 127 re- turned so far out of a mailing list of 401. If shyness prevents your answering sections 4, 5, and 6, certainly nos. 1, 2, and 3 shouldn't cause you any worry. Please co- operate.

With great regret, we tell you of the death of Frank Clyde Wright. Frank died from a heart attack on August 14th while on vacation at his boyhood home of Lon- donderry, Vt. He had been fishing in the little stream that remembered him as a boy and slipped away near its banks. Further details are in the obituary columns. The sympathy of the class goes to Mrs. Wright. An extremely interesting letter from Dawson Berry to Bob Booth was recently sent to me. Dawson is a troop mess officer in the Army Transport Service and after an eight months' trip and covering close to 40,000 miles all over the Pacific he is now temporarily in San Francisco, in Apart- ment 35 at 237 Leavenworth St.
It is now Lieutenant Colonel Will F. Nicholson. Congratulations!
Ike Miller was good enough to send me a story of his appointment as Captain in the Army Air Corps and he is already at Officers' Training School at Miami Beach. Gene Hotchkiss was in the group that put Ike on the train on September 17th. Ike was a leading citizen of Peoria, being presi- dent of the school board and assistant trust officer of the Commercial Merchants Bank and Trust Cos. There was quite a cere- mony at the bank at the time of his depar- ture, a part of the fun being the execution of a trust deed in which Ike left in trust a check for $1,000,000 to be returned to him if, after six weeks at Miami, he could send them a picture of himself showing that his waistline was reduced. If this was not forth- coming the check was to be divided among the other signatories who were his associ- ates at the bank.
