1901

Bemus Pierce, much to his disappointment, had to miss the Reunion last June, because at that time he was pushing demonstrations of his surface-milling machine for peat production, working against time. It paid off, however, because in September a New York corporation was formed to buy all the rights, and now construction has begun on the big commercial models and several of them are already released. Bemus still continues as designer and research man and sees a busy year ahead. His two sons are sergeants in the Air Force, one due for a year overseas, and the other gets his discharge in October and will then resume his medical course.

Chan and May Cox had a most enjoyable month's cruise on the Caribbean in February. They visited Cuba, the Panama Canal, Cartagena and Santa Marta, South America. They experienced beautiful weather on the trip, but it was somewhat discouraging on reaching home to find Boston in the throes of an old-fashioned winter.

At the Boston Alumni Dinner this year the following regulars showed up: Johnnie Ward,Chan Cox, Bill Cheever, Ned Calderwood,T Wood and Bill Bryant.
