1888

Richard Paul has sent in a fine report of his summer's activities. He was at Jasper Park for two months with old friends. They gave him and Mrs. Paul a grand party on July 27 in honor of their 57th wedding anniversary. A huge cake was brought in during the dinner and this along with cards, telegrams, letters and flowers galore, "made a very happy party for both of us." At home in Minneapolis he enjoys the Interlaken Club, and its associations of 40 years, but has given up golf with regret at loss of its companionships. Because of Mrs. Paul's health they will remain in their comfortable home this coming winter, rather than change to some resort hotel in a warmer climate.

John Lew Clark has been a patient in a Boston hospital for the past month and has won his contest with illness. On his 83rd birthday he was visited by Mrs. Clark, son Robert, his three daughters and the Secretary. All were cheered by his seeming improvement. Wendell Williams and the Secretary made another visit to him later and held an 'BB reunion for a short time. It was hoped that Clark could return to his home at Exeter, N. H. by Nov. 1.

With his usual sense of humor Pattee writes he is to have a ride with an undertaker, but not the undertaker. He was to return from his summer resort in West Virginia to his home in Winter Park, Fla. and make the 1,000 mile trip in a sumptuous ambulance with two drivers and a nurse. Mountain roads and railroad changes made the ambulance owned by the local undertaker the easiest and most practical solution for the long trip.

Keay was at home recently to the writer and wife for a call in Rocheser, N. H. He does some medical work for a few old pa- tients, and attends to all necessary demands as Medical Examiner for Strafford County. Baseball and football also get their full share of attention from our Champion Old Athlete.

Secretary, 135 Summer St., Maiden, Mass.
