1904

We regret to report that the 1904 Secretary, Leigh Turner, slipped on a rug on December 12 and in falling fractured a vertebra. After a month in the hospital he was ordered to spend another two months in bed. We wish him a prompt and complete recovery. Notwithstanding his handicapped condition he has sent these news items.

A recent report from Mrs. Burritt H. Hinman states that she expects to return to her home at Dixfield, Me., for the spring and summer and will be happy to welcome and to see Burritt's classmates and friends.

Two recent losses are the widows of Edwin R. Bartlett of Lewiston, N. Y., and of Harry W. Chase of Abington Court Apartments of Abington, Penn.

Word comes indirectly from Augusta Fletcher of Chattanooga that the winter so far has been an active one for her. In November, accompanied by her daughter, she spent a week in New York City and apparently njoyed about every worthwhile activity that the city offers; such as Metropolitan Opera, Philharmonic Orchestra, Lincoln Center, NBC, theaters, and for good measure Chinatown and a night club. Back home, just , before Thanksgiving, where she served the family dinner, then a one-day trip to Atlanta for a special luncheon. A family dinner for twenty-one at Christmas and a New Year's dinner for fourteen were next on schedule. She reports that the most momentous occasion of the season was the wedding of her granddaughter on December 29 with two parties a day in the two preceding weeks. This round of events sounds delightful, but for some of us it would be devastating. Augusta must be in wonderful health. We congratulate her and envy her. It will be recalled that Beck and Sally Johnson, Sid and Louise Rollins and others have visited John and Augusta Fletcher in past years, and reported that the gracious hospitality of the Fletcher home was almost beyond description.

Sally Johnson writes from Vero Beach, Fla., that the Christmas Season, the first without Beck, turned out much better than she had expected. Beck's granddaughter Constance, who was married last September, came with her husband from their home in Atlanta, Ga., and spent the holidays with Sally. She was much pleased also by receiving cards from "many of the lovely ladies of 1904" besides letters from IkeMaynard and Charlie Davis.
