A letter from Elmer Tenney's granddaughter was very disturbing because it indicated that Elmer was stricken so that he could not write himself. However, a letter has now come from the Major which indicates that even with a cerebral hemorrhage, a '94 man may be down, but isn't out. We shall look for still more encouraging words in the immediate future.

A letter from the one man in the class who has three initials, A.H.M. Curtis, has this word about his health. "Personally, I feel very well, but have a knee which bothers me and slows me up."

Movements southward: Jim McGrody has established himself at his old haunt at St. Petersburg, Florida, for the winter. Bob Burnap has gotten as far as New York, probably on his way to Florida. Or are you going to stay in New York this winter, Bob?

A letter from Irving Read has this to say about Jim Townsend: "Through the years I had many pleasant contacts with Jim Townsend who was a tower of strength for Dartmouth and Ninety-Four here. It is difficult to believe he is not here as always before, and that of that memorable group of five at his house only you and I are carrying on." (Irving refers to a round-up in 1940 attended by Reid,Punch Rollins, Ruggles, Jim Townsend and the Secretary).

Is there any man in the class who has four major anniversaries in October .... October 7, the birthday of his older son; October 8, his fortieth wedding anniversary; October is, the fiftieth aniversary of his ordination to the Christian Ministry; October 19, his wife's birthday. The Secretary happens to be the guilty man.

Secretary, REV. 74 Kirkland St., Cambridge 38, Mass.

Treasurer, 89 Prospect St., Somersworth, N. H.
