1938

Down with the cranberry bogs, chicken coops and cool, cool sea.... Edgewood, R. I., in fact, Parker "Pete" Holden writes that all goes well with bride Marion and sons, David, Peter, Arthur, Andrew, and even the job as an insurance claims superintendent. Pete gardens, golfs and tries to keep up with the young ones, he puts it. He just toured the West and Southwest where he talked with Henry Beck. Claims he visited the Episcopal Church in Dallas and found Henry's name all over the official plaques.... Senior Warden, Vestryman.... We knew Henry was building some pretty tall structures, but we didn't think he was getting that near Ole Peter. On his flight to the Coast "Pete" says he sat next to a stranger who knew your correspondent in the General Electric Company. He proceeded to tell Pete that I was getting transferred back to New York.... It would still be news to me, Pete. I gotta admit that five years in Cleveland is a new record for the Kings.

Chuck Compton has a Douglas B-26 Airplane for sale. You can get it into any suburban backyard ... by truck. It will cruise at 330 miles per hour ... a real attraction for the kids. Besides flying, Chuck is Manager of Sales Development for the Meeker Company in Chicago. Young Ann is now twelve, Arthur, ten, Mike, four, and bride "Barb" ... well.

Fran Worcester could probably tell us more about the economy in the Southwest than most researchers. It's his beat for the Northwest Paper Company, which he serves as a sales representative. Fran studied the pulp and paper business at the University of Maine before joining Northwest. Then he spent the war on a minesweeper. Back with the company after the Armistice, Fran took over the Southwestern territory. Fran and Nan have a boy, eight, and a girl, six.

Hal Herman lost his case in the Moscow Civil Court. He went there to represent the heirs of James Conant Doyle in a vain effort to force four Russian publishers to pay royalties for translations of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories. Hal, a graduate of Yale Law School and on the faculty of Harvard's barristers, gave it a good capitalistic try; got it all the way to the Russian Supreme Court, but then.... "Nyet."
