1888

All items in this report antedate our proposed 55th reunion, which event was, by mutual consent, postponed for the duration.

In the absence of any information since the date of that decision, this reporter should label his dispatch "delayed in transit."

Alumni Fund: It is pleasing to report that the records as of June 21 showed that '88 figures are 152% of our objective.

John Lew Clark and Geo. F. Hardy seem to have hobnobbed much and often during the past year. This was made possible by Geo. having a grandson at Exeter. John says the boy is a fine lad and heading for Dartmouth.

Charles L. Cobb has returned to his summer camp at Housatonic, Mass., where all '88 men who can walk, or other- wise get there, are invited.

Fred H. Chase is still "at the Law." His letters look busy.

Fred T. Dunlap, has again taken up his summer residence at Daytona Beach, 233 N. Ocean Ave. This looks cool.

Richard S. Ely still doing his own work and the work of a member of other medics who are either sick or gone into service.

Robert N. Fairbanks, we understand, has weathered a winter temperature of 46° in St. Johnsbury, his first in 56 years.

Geo. F. Hardy: His letter should be combined with that of John Lew in order to give a good picture of what an '88 man can do. We judge he is not as old as the rest of us.

F. L. Keay: Medicine must be a wonderful profession. Think of Cully Keay, Dick Ely and Doc Lougee all still going strong.

W. W. Lougee: Doc does admit that the temperature for 3 weeks in June was a trifle depressing and made him wish he was training under his son, Larry, in Alaska.

F. L. Pattee reports he is interned for the duration. He brags about his victory garden, planted on Feb. 1, and, since Easter, he has enjoyed the fruits of his hard work. This may be true since for many years he operated his Sabine Farm in Bristol, N. H.

W. J. Richardson reports a long hard winter in Littleton but still hopes for the best. Has two grandsons in the service.

Henry F. Spencer says his "Caput" is 0.K., but otherwise he is all wrong. His doctor seems pleased, and that's something.

Charles R. Spalding, having stayed part of last winter in New England, is now trying to forget the cold by staying at Jacksonville Beach all summer.

Berton Williams sends congratulations to the class for not attempting to have a reunion.

Wendell Williams: We hope Wendell and Mrs. Williams have made Lake Placid this summer as usual.

The Secretary and his household have arrived at Ocean Point, Me., for the summer. His official duties enabled him to secure gas for the trip. Not much to eat hereabouts but lobsters—come and have some with us.

Secretary, 11 Oak Street, Belmont, Mass.
