To everyone, be sure to sign your name on the return reunion post cards. They were sent to 35 men and 42 widows. There was not space in the October issue so now I want to thank Johnnie Ward, Chan Cox,Gillie, and Howard Hall for their help, their letters and advice have been wonderful.
K Bryant was the first to answer the post card. The runner-up was Marion, widow of Stevie Stevens, our long-time and beloved secretary. She has sold her house, her new address is 4 Putnam Park, Essex Street, Deep River, Conn. 06417.
Word comes from Howard Hall and Gillie that Johnnie Ward was in the Lynn Hospital following a severe heart attack. He should be home by now with a nurse. Everyone wishes you well, Johnnie.
In answer to the secretary's request back in May for news, Dot, widow of James B.McIntyre, was the first to reply. From Baltimore she writes: "You are doing a splendid job of reporting and I know it isn't easy. I look forward to your monthly bulletins with interest. I am working as a secretary with the state of Maryland in its new Baltimore, Md., office building. It keeps me interested and occupied. I have moved to an apartment house which is more conveniently located and during the winter I enjoy the theatre, concerts, and symphonies, as well as doing some oft-postponed reading. Sometime I hope to revisit Hanover to see the changes made in the last ten years." Why not plan to make it in 1966 for our 65th reunion, Dot?
Maude, widow of Sidney G. Harding, writes: "Thank you for your note and card. Wish I might have the privilege of meeting you people. In my letter I forgot to tell you that our son, Wendell is a graduate, class of 1936."
From K Bryant a September note: "One of my daughters fixed up an apartment in her home for us. We are fortunate to have this care and affection.
"I have arthritis in my back and hand My pulse is weak, my blood is thin, But I am awfully well For the shape I am in."
That is life with a smile, K. His new address is 57 Longfellow Rd., Wellesley, Mass.
Return post card from Mary, daughter of Mrs. Charles W. Kimball, reports that her mother died December 6, 1963. The sympathy of the class is extended to Mary and to any other members of her family.
Franklin Butler, on return post card, is sorry to tell us that his mother, Martha, widow of Walter F. Butler, suffered a disabling stroke three years ago, and continues to battle with aphasia (almost complete) and has great difficulty in moving around. The sympathy of the Class goes out to Martha and to Franklin.
A September 1 letter from Charles Hildreth reports that he was in the hospital again in December and January. "Another serious bladder operation but I am making a slow but apparently good recovery. Alice says 'I am a good farmer but not much good at clerical work.' She has had a lot of work as Town Clerk, in my place, registration, primaries, and elections take a lot of time. Wish I could be more help clerically."
Returned post cards as of October 1: Yes, 6; uncertain, 11, no, 12.
