These interesting notes were received last spring from Parker just too late to be used in the June issue and so had to be held over until the fall. We are sorry they are late and thanks for a swell job. Parker has been a municipal bond authority since he started working for the Babson organization in Wellesley Hills in 1927. Some time was spent in New York City, but in 1946 he returned to Boston and is now with Lyons & Shafts. He and his wife live in Newton.

Wes Blake evidently is having more fun than a great many of us with his varied activities and traveling in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire. Naturally, he gets to Hanover "on business" as representative of Boonton Table Ware, a plastic which looks like china. Wes has seen Dr. Ralph Miller in Hanover, who is also a N. H. State Pathologist.
