It makes us feel proud and not quite so ancient to know that our classmate, Brig. General Henry C. Pillsbury, is not only still on the job but doing a grand bit of work in this war. "Cap" has recently celebrated his 62nd birthday. After graduating from Harvard Medical School in 1906, he was commissioned a lieutenant in the regular Army Medical Corps in 1907. Since then he served at the Walter Reed Hospital, in the Philippines, and was Chief Health Officer of the Panama Canal Zone from 1936 to 1939- He opened up and developed the Lovell General Hospital at Camp Devens, Mass., in 1941 and as its commanding general has made it an outstanding Army hospital. Now he is being sent to Nashville, Tenn., to take command of a new Army hospital there.

Avery Lambert is in the department of Anatomy at the University of lowa College of Medicine, and has a son, a captain in the Medical Service of the Army, who was stationed near Portland. I telephoned Fort Williams and several of our Islands here but must have just missed him and am indeed sorry. Avery has a second son, 19, who expects to be in the Army any day.

Secretary, 7 Ship Channel Road, South Portland, Me.
