1905

A very pleasant break in the routine of the lives of Clara and Carroll ("Camp")Campbell took place during the Christmas season. They took a trip to Honolulu where they spent five weeks with their daughter Jean. They had a delightful time, including a tour of two of the islands. Jean had taken leave from her teaching at Smith College. Incidentally she introduced her parents to a young man who was "paying considerable attention to her." Indeed, on April 6 Jean was married to this young man, John Leslie Tugman Jr., in Honolulu by the Rev. Richard Peterson, pastor of the Methodist Church of Kaneohe, Oahu. The Campbells are looking forward to a visit from their daughter and new son about the last of May. Clara and Camp rounded out their trip by staying in Florida three weeks on their return journey.

If we need reminders of the passage of time, we receive one when our grandchildren marry. By a coincidence of dates, my granddaughter, Suzanne Butterworth, was married on April 6 to Douglas Laurence Coleman, 2nd Lieut., U.S.M.C. The wedding was solemnized at All Saints Episcopal Church in Wolfeboro, N. H., with the Rev. James W. Kellett officiating. Sue will be graduated from the University of New Hampshire in June and will join Larry at Cherry Point Marine Base where he is stationed. To our regret, for reasons of health Mildred and I were unable to attend this first wedding amoung our grandchildren.

For obvious reasons we were unable to attend a second granddaughter's wedding either. Judith Putnam, my son Bill's '30 older daughter, was married on Saturday, April 27 at a civil ceremony and the next day, Sunday, in a religious service at the American Church in Paris. Judith has become Mme. Pierre Bastianelli and has dual citizenship. The Lyme Putnams expect to have a chance to become acquainted with this new son when he and Judy visit her native town some time next October as planned.

Marjorie Wust, older daughter of FrankMcCabe, and her husband enjoyed what must have been the thrill of a lifetime for devout Catholics that they are. They flew to Rome to attend the beatification of Mother Seton, founder of the Sisters of Charity and first American woman to be beatified.

It is distressing to learn that the vacation which "Sliver" and Alva Hatch had anticipated with eager pleasure was upset by a serious illness that sent Sliver to a hospital. This was in Golfito, Costa Rica, where they were visiting their son. Sliver was confined to the hospital for ten days. Toward the end of April he had gained sufficiently to fly back home. We hope very earnestly that he will continue to gain steadily and recover his former sturdy health. He says that he had never been sick in his life before.

A word to you men of 'O5 who have not yet paid in your share of the Alumni Fund: Help Sliver by sending along your check promptly; don't task Sliver's strength by having to following you up.

This is the last call from your secretary for the reunion July 12, 13, 14. See you there.
