1902

There is no news that I know of. Why don't you send me an occasional line? I can only write of me and mine.

On Thursday, September 20, my wife and I took the New York train from New Smyrna. The next day we came to our daughter's home in Weston, Conn. As she drove us to her house, we turned in at our granddaughter's place where we visited for an hour with Peg and her son, Timmy Warren Holcomb, our great-grandson. Absurd, isn't it, that a member of our class can be a great-grandfather? The children went on Monday of this week to a tea-importers' convention at Wentworth-by-the-Sea, N. H. While they were gone, Peg and her husband entertained us at dinner one night and one night Tom ('52) and his wife Dottie had us at their house for dinner. How many of you fellows have a grandson who is a graduate of Dartmouth?

Don't you - any of you - forget we are celebrating our fifty-fifth anniversary in Hanover this coming June. Tell your wives that my wife says she has had some of her best times at our reunions. If there is engendered in our better halves an enthusiasm for the reunions, they will not let us stay away. None of us has too many years left to attend reunions and visit once again with dear classmates.

I wanted to send you the new address of our classmate, Ben Riley, but I have come away without Ben's last letter. He is one of the few classmates who never forget to write to your class secretary.

God bless and keep you all. I can hardly wait till next June when I shall see you again.
