The attractive program of the testimonial dinner tendered to the Eminent Grand Commander at Middletown, Connecticut, on May 13, 1944, has a fine cut of Camp in full regalia, bearing an ornate sword. Camp has been an engineer in the Maintenance Bureau of the State Highway Department of Connecticut since 1932.

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell have entered the honored ranks of grandparents through the birth of William Knetge, born to their daughter, Ailsa, in Burbank, California, on January 14, 1944.

Through the courtesy of Fred Chase, word has been received that the former Mrs. Eliot Park Frost is now the wife of Walter Dabney Blair, a prominent architect in New York City.

Mr. and Mrs. Blair have purchased and restored the Elihu Coleman House in Nantucket. The Coleman House is the secondoldest house in Nantucket. Mrs. Blair is an author and poet, writing under the name of Elizabeth Hollister Frost. Her first book of poems in 1928 was entitled "The Lost Lyricist" and was inspired by the memory of Eliot, as have been several of the later books. In 1939 she published some stories of a little French village, entitled, "The Wedding Ring." Her "This Side of Land" is a novel of Nantucket. Granger Hollister Frost, son of Eliot, graduated from Yale in 1940. He rowed on Freshman and Varsity crews. He was married while in College to Dorothy Elizabeth Crum of Smith College. Granger is now in the Navy, in command of a sub-chaser.

William Pickett McLary, son of the late Arthur E. McLary and Mrs. McLary, was graduated from Franklin Academy at Malone, New York, on June 27, 1944.
