Runt Martin writes from Daytona Beach, Fla., that his newspaper work is satisfactory and he expects to stay with it.

Tom Barnes '02, brother of Sam, also lives in that vicinity. Roy Hatch '02 was a former resident of DeLeon Springs.

Runt's children seem to be giving a good account of themselves. Dexter '36 has been getting a Ph.D. degree in English at the University of Pennsylvania. Bill '39 visited his father recently on a Ford Foundation fellowship trip. He had recently resigned from the Colgate University faculty to become Eastern Maryland field manager of the Mental Health Association. Daughter Jane teaches at Colby Junior College. John '51, who majored in English, is an engineer for Fairchild Airplane in Los Angeles.

Runt reports that Art Harrington is considering moving to Florida.

Nat Davis has retired from business, as previously reported. He severed all business connections in 1949 and considers that he is taking a continuous vacation, which he finds very enjoyable. Nat has spent a lot of time in traveling about this country and western Canada and Alaska. He and his daughter, who accompanies him, prefer to wander as the spirit moves and eliminate reservations and specific objectives. Recently Nat has found it possible to enter political life and has served as a member of the General Court of New Hampshire for two terms. Currently he serves on the Appropriations Committee and the Finance Sub-Committee.
