Nelson Gay will be in Hanover for the reunion, the first he has attended since graduating. His daughter Carol has been with Mrs. Hayward in Thayer Hall, but is now in charge of the dining facilities at the Y.M.C.A. in Bridgeport, Conn. Nel is with the Banker and Tradesman Press, Inc., in Cambridge, Mass.

Clarence Coit Meleney and Malcolm F. Halliday have formed, as of January 15, 1948, a partnership for the practice of law under the name of Meleney and Halliday, following the termination of Patrick L. Ryan's membership in the firm of Meleney, Ryan & Halliday.

John Remsen has been having a tough time sleeping sitting up straight—three broken ribs acquired early in March in the local post office where he slipped on a freshly oiled floor. As we go to press he has improved enough to be out and to sleep with a little comfort.

"Now, These Are Really Hardy Evergreens!" by Robert E. More in the February issue of The American Home is by the Denver lawyer, an active vice-president of the Colorado Forestry and Horticultural Association, arid a writer on evergreens, on fishing and on mountain climbing. Bob's hobby for many years has been growing evergreens and he is the owner, superintendent, librarian, horticulturist and sole laborer for the Glenmore Arboretum of Buffalo Park, Colorado, which now boasts over 200 varieties of evergreens. A couple of years ago the Arnold Arboretum asked him to write up his experiments for publication in its bulletin Arnoldia-s.ee. issue, December 1945. He and Alice are anxiously awaiting Jerry's return from Japan. Upon graduation from high school in 1946 he enlisted in the Paratroopers for 18 months and is now on his way home. If they can come on for the reunion, Mose Linscott promises not to take up all Bob's time discussing mountain climbing so that Bill Baldwin and some of the foresters and landscape gardners can have their innings.

Harv McClary found Ralph Bauman in Cleveland recently and endeavored to sell him on the idea of returning to Hanover in June. Harv says, "Being a banker he didn't commit himself." Harv will be on as he has never missed a reunion and this year he'll meet with the new president of the National Life in Montpelier, Vermont.

Husky Wilbur has had, like the rest of us, plenty of winter after seven years below the Mason & Dixon Line. He's now in Dalton, Pa., and with three of his children married, he has five grandchildren. His youngest son is at Annapolis and one of the other boys back in school studying electronics. Husky is still in sanitary engineering with Gannett, Fleming, Corddry and Carpenter Inc.

We have changed one or two reunion plans already. The Get-Together party in the Class tent at the Dormitory on Friday afternoon, June 18, the day of arrival will be something and followed by a buffet supper in the tent. Plan to arrive before 5.: 30 that afternoon. The Sunday Buffet will be at the Inn and as it is the regular Hanover Inn heavy laden tables, you all know what that means. This Sunday Buffet will not be included in the Reunion Tax.

You will receive a new class list and a reunion post-card soon (if it has not already arrived). Fill out the card and mail it to George Knight and then wait for the room reservation card from Hanover. Mail that as soon as it arrives and you can make up your mind on attending the reunion. Our dormitory and tent size will depend upon your response—so make it good.

Gren and Francis Kimball were at the Hailover Inn on the March 13th weekend visiting Bob, in his second year at Tuck School.

The New York dinner on April 14 comes too late for a class roster report this month. John Remsen, in spite of his ribs, is arranging a Pre-reunion Get Together and Fund Party.

Walt Nolan and Irene were living a quiet restful life in Hawaii until Johnny Johnson dropped in from his Cape Cod home. Maj. Nolan says to check up with Johnny on his return for news.

Here's a reunion slogan from the Reader'sDigest—"Enjoy yourself for it is later than you think."
