"I was in Boston in September, 1929, when my brother, Jack '10, died and again in September, 1943, when my Dad died. I saw only my brother-in-law, Ralph Sexton '04, as I was there on both occasions only 24 hours.
"I really haven't been north since 1926 when I was at Hanover for Commencement. I was ashamed of myself because I recognized so few of the boys.
"I have a boy in the submarine service in the South West Pacific and a daughter who has presented me with two granddaughters, four and one half and two and three-quarters.
"I've been practicing here for thirty-three years this month. I am gynecologist to St. Vincent's and the Duval County Hospital, chairman of the Board of the Fidelity Federal Savings and Loan Association, live on the river and raise camelias for a hobby. I also have a farm on the river twenty-eight miles from town where I raise chickens, ducks, guineas, oranges, pecans, persimmons, grapes and vegetables and I'm too damned busy to fish, fooling with the farm.
"I hope to have time to get north some day and see the boys, but they are working the socks off me now. My day starts about 6 A.M. and ends at 7 P.M. and I'm so tired I can only fall in bed. Regards to all of the fellows."
