This month's contributors include PennyAborn, Charlie Batchelder, Ellsworth Buck,Bill Hands, and Art Maddalena.
Walt Daley is still active and in the pink. Rosie Hinman doubts making Florida before February, because of steel labor. Johnand Marion Warren roamed between New Jersey and North Carolina for Thanksgiving and Xmas with the two boys and grandchildren. Roscoe DeWitt has a bid in for Sunbird and wants particulars. Moose Englehorn really enjoyed the Princeton game. He appreciates what went on there and gave much credit to the coaching staff. Moose should know Bill Wolf is still active with the Allied Board of Trade, and is interested in our affairs. Bill Gilbert retired at year's end after forty years with the Legislative Reference Service Research & Counsel work.
Lize and Polly Wheelock have a nice story. Now at Lihne Union Church, Lihne, Kanal, Hawaii. Just preaches once a week, and he took with him a stack of old sermons, enough to last him a lifetime. Now is an honorary member of the Rotary Club and the Yacht Club. What's more, the golf club is only eight miles away. He hopes to get back to the Cape in June, and then to Holland in August. He likes this retirement business.
Art Maddalena writes such a nice letter. He is retired on the Cape, nearby to his son and daughter and five grandchildren. Art and Mary plan another trip south after the holidays. He reports that Howie Fahey is now retired. The Harold Browns were with them last summer, at which time Hal took away with him a Maddalena promise never to miss another reunion. Marion Naramore was number one helper during the Remsen emergency. While Mart was in hospital she helped Kathleen get settled in their new home, and stayed with them a while before leaving for Florida. Mart and Kathleen left after the holidays for Georgia and other spots as the health dictates.
Here is a report to be proud of, and it has pleased your good treasurer ever so much. This is the list of men who are paid up until the 50th (and some beyond). There will be more, too, because several of our regulars are yet to be heard from. A good job.

Getting word to you on Sunbird has been difficult but here is something. Gus Fuller has two good assistants in Caleb Niles andCharlie Batchelder. The date is March 14 at the Bath Club near Redington Beach. Gus has made good arrangements, and a letter telling the whole story has perhaps answered all questions.
This history business is something else again. Our questionnaire was mailed January 5, and please act promptly. Ellsworth, Bill and I were to have had our first meeting in December but I flopped because that month is a busy one with three birthdays, an anniversary, and the usual fuss over Xmas. I couldn't make it, but Bill and Ellsworth got things started. Tell you in March.
Your many Xmas cards helped make the holidays.
