1943

It may be the Christmas rush and the holiday season in general but there has been just no news whatsoever this month. The one newspaper clipping I have tells me that Horace Rockwell a Hartford lawyer, addressed the Association of Savings Bank Women of Connecticut at the New Haven Country Club. The title of the speech was, "Some of the Woes of Savings Bankers." All I can say is I would love to have some of their woes.

Stopping at the Hanover Inn last month was the übiquitous Stan Priddy and the much traveled Jim Cruickshank.

I am going to have to fill up some of this space with a joke. Did you hear the one about the two men marooned on a desert island for five years. They had seen no civilization in that time. Suddenly, one day they saw a crate floating in the water. They swam out, pulled it back to shore and hurriedly broke it open. One of the men reached in and pulled out a bottle of family size, Coca Cola. He held it up in front of him, looked at the other man and said, "My God, we've shrunk." You can see that things must be pretty quiet if I have to include such news as part of the monthly column.

In my daily rounds around Boston I do manage to bump into several of our classmates all of whom are known to you and do well. Phil Jackson has become very successful as a contractor and, as a matter of fact, one of his latest jobs is putting up the new dormitories in Hanover. I hope to take a fast trip up there with him sometime just to see that he is doing a good job. His wife, the lovely Shirley, is in the process of gestation and we all hope that this time it will be a boy, but if not, I am sure that they will both be happy and try again.

Bill Glovsky is virtually a transcontinental lawyer. Ed Lider is a local theatre magnate, Stan Priddy is a bachelor.

Had lunch yesterday with Jay Baker, Class of '41, and it was fun reminiscing about former days. He had seen Bob Brown in Chicago.
