Dear Gang — While on a trip to our home office in Boston a short time back, my "boss," Mr. Homer C. Chaney, second Veep of our fair organization brought me up to date on his son Doc (Homer C. Jr.). After taking graduate work and teaching at Stanford for several years, Doc is now an Assistant Professor of History at Fresno State College in Fresno, going there this September. Doc and wife Anita have one boy and one girl with another little Chaney on the way. If my memory is correct, Doc either has his Ph.D. or is very close to it. Homer also told me that Don Sia had finished med school and is somewhere in California.
