The war in Viet Nam has been brought closer to us by word from Joe Smith that his son, Fred, was wounded in action near DaNang on April 16. He was admitted to the St. Albans, Long Island, Naval Hospital on April 24 to receive orthopedic care for the serious damage done to his left arm by mortar fragments. He was a member of the Marines' 3rd Engineer Battalion and was promoted to a corporal on the day he was wounded. Fred is our second casualty - Elliott Donnelley's son Dave, also a Marine, was seriously wounded earlier this year.

We're obliged to Joe Smith for a few words about the spring reunion at the St. Andrews Golf Club on June 10: "We enjoyed the evening of fellowship and the food was truly excellent. Bill and GertHeep deserve our thanks for their efforts, but the turn-out should have been much better. It was good to see Warren Burding, trim as could be, and meet his wife. EarlFain hadn't been seen in a long while, and he was there. Good old reliable Red Pelton came all the way from Olean, N. Y., and after the party Ruth and I brought him home to spend the night with us. Ken Turner had his daughter, now a sophomore at Hollins College, with him."
