1888

Miss Lucy Noyes Fairbanks, daughter of Rob Fairbanks, writes from Sussex, England, that she and her mother are temporarily in that country on business. They made the trip on the Queen Mary, which was quite different from their voyage to America five years ago when they came on a troopship. The '88 men will recall that at a dinner in Boston given in honor o£ Fairbanks shortly after his arrival in America, he said a bomb had hit on the grounds of his estate that ruined all housekeeping facilities. Then they came to St. Johnsbury, Vt„ to live at Rob's boyhood home. Miss Fairbanks graduated from the Academy in 1944 and has since been employed as a secretary. They are now living through the unusual and hard conditions this winter in England. She reports her mother as much improved in health, and both plan to return to New England in June. Miss Fairbanks summarizes that the war has left many scars on a beautiful country and a fine people.

Dunlap and wife have lived in Florida since 1941 and are now acclimated from the rigors of the North, though Fred still has a hankering to tumble into an old-fashioned snowdrift. He hopes to come North this summer and is already discounting a raid on Maine lobsters and Wells Beach clams.

Mrs. Fostina Berry, widow of Fred S. Berry, is now recovering from a severe case of pneumonia. She has been able to leave the hospital and to return to her home at 360 West Ocean Ave., Long Beach, Calif. Since her husband's death in 1931 she has lived at Long Beach. She has enjoyed much better health than in former years.

Chase is still at the Caton Nursing Home in Brooklyn, where he watches the ALUMNIMAGAZINE for Class happenings. He received the '88 Christmas box and sends his thanks to his old friends.
