A recent letter from Herb Rogers states: "Art and Tat Irving showed up in Rockport yesterday. We saw them and Art was looking well and must be some better to be able to come here for a visit Our daughter Barbara and husband, Philip, made us a short call the last of September. Philip was a delegate to a convention of controllers at the Statler in Boston." Herb enclosed an item from the Boston Herald reporting the death of Mrs. Harriet Sears, whose first husband was Horace ("Dek") Hardy of our Class who died in 1910. She was graduated from Wellesley College in 1902 and after the death of Horace married the late Charles M. Sears of Boston.
Please send the Secretary some news about yourself, your kin or both.
