1901

The George Frenchs' are enjoying Floridr sunshine at Winter Park,—"almost too warn for comfort," George says Gene Leac!" regrets being unable to make the Reunior last July but makes a happy suggestion, "Wc ought not to wait five years more for a get-to- gether." (Can any one suggest a good place for such a round-up this coming summer?)

Chan Cox has retired as chairman of the Old Colony Trust Company, but is busy with his work as President of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, and still continues his interest in several business enterprises. He and Mary hope to travel and thus see more of their old friends.

Jim and Floss Kimball stopped over in Washington on their way to Florida, and it was a very great pleasure for the Stevens to have dinner with them at the Statler Ned Warren writes they have sufficient coal to keep the house warm this winter so that he and Gertrude will remain in Orford; they were fearful they would have to close the house,.... Gillie is feeling better, but still has to watch his step, which is good news indeed. Beth, Mary Lib, and Steve Stevens'have returned from Schenectady, where they were in attendance at the wedding of Miss Katherine Kerby Carpenter and Everett M. Stevens Jr. Jack Dunnington was unable to make the Reunion but is now coming along fine, and expects to take a trip to Bermuda or Mexico soon. Upon his return Jack says he will be a new man and "Watch the chips fly."

Christmas 1946 will go down in history as the most overwhelming occasion in your secretary's life. It was truly overwhelming, for when Bob Leavens' letter enclosing the check from all of you arrived, I realized what a wonderful friendly and thoughtful gesture the class had made to a much surprised but deeply appreciative classmate. The knowledge that you as a class cared to do such a friendly thing will always mean far more to me than anything else that has happened since our college days together. It is truly heart-warming.

A portion of your splendid tribute has been put into a very fine wrist-watch, which, suitably engraved, will always remind me of the loyal friendship of this fine class, the Class of 1901.1 take this way of assuring you all of my heart-felt appreciation and affection. Sincerely Stevie.

Secretary and Treasurer, 1371 Locust Rd., N, W., Washington, D. C.
