Letter from Ham Fish, Capt. J. H. Fish if you please, from Texas who writes "I have read Horton Chandler's ('18) ALUMNI MAGAZINE often and finally decided to let you know of two of us at least in the wild plains of Texas.

"Horton is Lt. Col. acting as executive Officer and I as Capt. in the capacity of Plans and Training Officer for the 197 th CA(AA). We came down here October 1, 1940, so have really got acclimated and like it immensely. On leave last time, Charley Holbrook and wife came over to see Jackie (my wife) and myself. He's of course near our home in a business way and we're sure always glad to see him. As you remember Charley and I roomed together our first year in Hitchcock.

They've a fine bunch of grads in Houston—loo miles away—but so far our off time hasn't permitted us to visit but once last year. We've just come in from 12 weeks' maneuvers so we may get a bit of time off soon." Thanks, Ham.

HELP WANTED

A group is needed to help JohnnyDregge, George Anderson and CharlieFrench organize a week-end family outing for the Mid-westerners, similar to the Jug End Barn party. Here's some news from Johnny Dregge: "I am working like the devil and probably like most of the other boys in the Class, am trying to figure out just what in the world I'll be doing next year at this time. My activities here have been pretty well diversified, what with serving on the City Commission in East Grand Rapids and a few other jobs, the biggest one being chairman of the British War Relief Society work in this locality. I suppose that you find the same thing true, that it isn't hard to keep yourself pretty well tied up these days. About two weeks ago I went down and spent a week-end with George and Betty Anderson of Elkhart, Indiana. He is doing a grand job down there. He is president of the First National Bank, and without any doubt, one of the big shots of Elkhart. He has a fine family—two boys and a girl. From all reports they keep him pretty busy."

BANKER CELEBRATES

Don Coyle celebrates his 15th Anniversary with the New York Trust Company. As you know, he represented this bank for a number of years in Berlin. He now travels considerably throughout this country for them. Here is an account of his recent travels. "Travelling in the north and central area of the United States has given me an opportunity to look up Classmates here and there. In May I saw a lot of Owl Keyes in Des Moines. In fact, I got laid up there and was on his hands for a week. He is also with a bank, the lowa Des Moines National Bank & Trust Co., where he is engaged in investment stuff and doing very well. He has a charming wife and a son who will soon be able to take his old man apart—or maybe he has by now. In October I had lunch and a fine visit with George Anderson in Elkhart, Ind. I had hoped to look up Jim Taylor in South Bend but didn't have time. Ran into Johnny Dregge in Grand Rapids, but just had time for a minute's chat. A couple of days later I saw Vim Heegaard for fifteen minutes in Minneapolis at the station just before he left on a trip East. Had dinner later that week with Dorothy Heegaard and their five boys and we tried to catch up on what's happened since the Heegaards lived up the street in Cambridge from Lyon, Learned and yours truly. On this past trip (December) to Wisconsin and Illinois, I saw several friends from nearby classes but the closest I came to anyone in our Class was a telephone conversation with Ax Coffin in Chicago. For the record—l have been married for nine years and have no children. We live in a rural section of northern New Jersey in a remodeled grain mill with our own pond which gives us skating in winter and swimming in summer. My wife is greatly interested in raising, training and showing cocker spaniels, both for field and bench shows, but I haven't yet gone completely to the dogs."
