Baltimore

OUR MONTHLY MEETINCS continue uninterruptedly as informal get-togethers, with no prearranged programs. In these postwar days we are chiefly interested in the reappearance of returned service men. Among them are Lt. Clark Barrett '38 USNR, back in the employ of the McCormick Company; Lt. Bob Ekin '37 USNR, former president and energetic worker of the Club, with ideas as energetic as ever; Lt. Buford Hayden '40, of the Air Forces, now with Harry Brown '12 and the Greiner Engineering Company: Lt. Sam Dillon '37 USNR. On the other hand we have lost a member to the Army by the recent induction of Joe Vancisin '44. It has been a pleasure to renew our acquaintance with Lloyd Nolan '39, whose strenubus activities in civilian warwork have kept him from meeting with us for several years. Another welcome newcomer is FBI agent Theodore Wachs '41.

Lt. Dick Kenney '40 USNR, we hear, has fallen in love with California, married a California girl, and is now a graduate student at Leland Stanford in Palo Alto.

For the second time in 1945 we have the sad announcement to make of the death of a senior member. It was Carlton Soule '06 in the summer, and now Dr. Arthur Pattrell '02, who died here on December 17, after a long period of illness. For many years he was assistant medical superintendent of Sheppard & Enoch Pratt Psychiatric Hospital in Towson, adjacent to Baltimore. Unfortunately for us he was seldom able to attend our meetings, especially in these last years of his declining health, but he was always punctilious in expressing his appreciation of our invitations, and those of us who knew him and his charming and gracious wife were very fond of both of them.
