1906

On December 14 the Automatic Canteen Cos. celebrated its 20th anniversary. The highlight of the week's celebration was the luncheon given to honor Nat Leverone, Chairman of the Board. At the speaker's table were most of the outstanding business and civic leaders of Chicago, among whom were Gen. Charles G. Dawes.

Joe Nuelle and I had the pleasure of having breakfast with Gus Ayers January 24. Gus was east to attend the Engineers Convention and also the Thayer School Dinner.

A note from Bob Blood to Dave Main advises that he is improving slowly but still has a long way to go.

The class will be sorry to hear that LonnieRuss's, wife Blanche passed away on January 27.
