A letter from ]ane Annable says, "It is exactly one year since Paul entered Castle Point and as things look now we are hoping that one more year will take care of things His major operation was in the Spring at which time they did a thoracplastic job and removed seven ribs on his right side. On his left side he is getting pneu- mothorax. Right now he weighs 180 pounds and looks better than I have ever seen him look. Through it all his spirits have been wonderful— never once has he lost his optimism—and he is de- termined he is going to beat the mark set by the doctors."

On the way home from a convention of the Pennsylvania Petroleum Association near Reading, I dropped in to see Roy and MabMilliken and their recently acquired palatial estate in Robesonia. It was easy to find because the State maintains a large sign on the Read- ing-Harrisburg highway giving its location and history. The huge house was built in 1807 and is really a showplace. There are beautiful gardens, a boxwood maze, gate-keepers lodge, barns (Roy keeps two riding horses), and so much lawn that Roy has a tractor and regular golf course equipment to cut the grass.
