1892

Among the obituaries you will find brief accounts of the lives of Reed and Noyes. In both cases news came too late to permit the class to be represented at the funeral services either by classmates or by flowers, but the sympathy of the class has been sent to Mrs. Reed and to Miss Noyes.

A cordial letter from Putnam tells of the death of his wife a year or more ago and of his breakdown as a consequence. He has spent some time in California seeking a comeback and has now returned to Arvada much improved but still unable to make the journey back to Hanover. "Put" had been counting for years on making the Fifteenth and it is evidently a very real sorrow that he cannot meet with the boys that are left.

Ilsley writes from Washington that after he became a Civilian Civil Engineer in the Bureau of Yards and Docks in the Navy Department in 1935 he had a good comfortable job until the French debacle. Since then he has been working forty-eight hours a week and getting very little time off. Fortunately he expects to get enough to make the Fiftieth.

This is written shortly after my letter of March 30 was circulated. If you haven't sent in your "Information Please" blank or let us know whether you will be in Hanover in May, please do so now. Everything seems shaping up for a fine reunion.
