1887

Some of the '87 grads have asked: how about "Cush"? So with my Christmas Greetings to him I ventured to ask: "How about yourself?" "Do you go to your office now-a-days?"

I was pleased to get a telephone call from his sister Miss Ellen Cushman, who lives with him; she says that "Cush" had an operation for eye difficulties about a year ago and he has been slowly recovering; he is able to see but few visitors, yet during the holidays he has seen several groups for brief visits.

He goes to his long-established office at 53 State Street once or twice a week to sign papers and confer with his secretary. Just now, January J, he is busy making out his Tax Return—which other lucky '87 grads should be doing.

Indeed, Cush, it is good to hear from youplease thank your sister.

I believe that it is expected that a scribe for the ALUMNI MAGAZINE should say something about himself: but Secretary "Stanley" who acknowledges his "native modesty" says little —about himself.

Well, I spent Christmas with my daughter Ruth and her family at Falmouth Foreside, just outside Portland, Me. Oh, "boys", wasn't it cold—right on zero! But that didn't stop the son of one of our classmates from driving ten miles to say hello to a member of the Class of '87; it was Stephen Johnson—son of the late George Ellsworth Johnson, our popular classmate, who in baseball language was known as "Jim" Johnson. (When I returned to Cambridge I read again in our 50-year book Jim's life story wherein he "laid modesty aside." It is still a refreshing classic.)

Besides seeing Stephen, I went to church. It was a small community church, but inside and outside it was beautifully kept—spic and span. This zero morning there was a small choir, robed in cap and gown, and a congregation of twenty to thirty persons. The service was conducted excellently by "Dean" Lord, who was formerly a successful Dean of the Business School of Boston University. He is now a resident church minister of Falmouth Foreside.

I thought, how much more one can enjoy his retirement when he tries to be of real service in his community, as Dean Lord is doing. His is a good example for our "retired" classmates to follow. A few of us are not yet retired—but soon may be.
