Bob Kenyon, our head class agent, informs me that Mrs. Sarah (Charles P.) Wood worth of New London, N. H., has taken over Mrs. Mildred (Joseph P.) McCann's place as assistant class agent for 1907 on the annual Alumni Fund drive. Mildred did a splendid service for several years with the widows.
It is very interesting to note that our oldest living classmate is Cliff Norris, 52 Circuit Drive, Cranston, R. I. 02905. He will be 89 years old on November 7, 1967. We hope that Cliff will have many more years of good health and happiness.
Mrs. Julius Dutton (Marion) writes that Julius has been seriously ill in the Portsmouth, N. H., Hospital and that he would love to hear from classmates. Kindly do that for time is running out on us all.
On Friday, September 22 Ethel and I drove to Farmington, New Sharon and Starks, Me., to see my relatives and BishopNiles went along with us to visit his folks at East Wilton and North Jay. We saw the Niles Memorial Library and the old Niles Homestead at North Jay. On Sunday we drove to Mt. Blue, Rangeley Lakes, Stratton to Eustis Ridge. The foliage was wonderful. On the way back to Farmington we stopped at Sugarloaf Ski Area. On Monday after enjoying the beautiful foliage in northwestern Maine and a splendid visit with our State of Maine folks we drove home.

"The New Hampshire Audubon News" of September 1967 states that "A drive to raise $25,500 to develop the 43-acre Paradise Point Nature Center on Newfound Lake in Hebron, N. H., was launched recently at Pasquaney Lodge, the summer home of fudge and Mrs. John R. McLane. They were hosts to about thirty guests, including John Ripley Forbes, president of the Natural Science for Youth Foundation, who is special adviser to the Audubon Society of New Hampshire in the project to develop the area as a nature center." That's a splendid project, Judge.
