1902

Notwithstanding the marvels of modern medicine in lengthening the span of life, it still remains "news" among octogenarians to be able to report, as does Jimmie Huntington. Writing from Hadley, Mass., where he lives in the old family mansion, now a famous colonial show place, he says, "The operation did three things for me. (1) Removed the cause of all my digestive trouble. (2) Proved that in spite of symptoms there was no trace of cancer. (3) Restored me to a perfectly normal diet. It is a blessed relief. Spring is really with us in spite of sub-freezing nights after the longest and coldest win- ter I have ever known."

As for Mose Perkins, we have long since ceased to wonder at him. His permanent home is with his daughter at 20081 Almaden Drive, San Jose 24, Calif., but he is only just starting to drive back across the continent, having" been busy since our 60th reunion a year ago. at the Hampton Country School in East Rindge, N. H„ a non profit residential therapy institution for gifted but emotionally unstable children. He writes that it has been a stimulating and rewarding experience. He sends details about his six greatgrandchildren. The 1902 class family is growing!

H. G. Parker writes nothing about his health, but wants to record his pride in the College, with which he has so many family ties, without the advantages that so many of us have of being able to pass on the tradition to direct descendants. He can still shout Wah-Hoo-Wah, and does so at our tempo. His great-grandnephew, Henry L. Parker IV, is Dart. '63.
