Had dinner with Hoppy the last part of April and he told me that Charlie Crane had been elected an officer of the National Life Ins. Cos. with the title of assistant to the president. Charlie has been associated with the National Life about fifteen years and deserves the recognition given him.

Ruth and Jack Kingsbury have announced their retirement as directors of Merricourt.
