1928

Only three months to our 40th! June 17, 18 and 19 are the dates and if any '2Ber is decision shy, remember this is your Fortieth - it won't come this way again. So notify Reunion Chairman Cal Billings that you're coming - his address is 58 Rumford St., West Hartford, Conn.

Wives and children, of course, will be more than welcome. A wonderful program has been arranged and will be fully described in the class newsletter, which will also list the names of those indicating they are coming.

If you're one of the many who've attended previous reunions, you'll be there again ... you wouldn't want to miss. If you're one of those who've missed in recent years, or never made it... a thrill of a lifetime awaits you, in Hanover, June 17 to 19.

Chet Kellogg, chairman and chief executive officer of Alfred M. Best Co., Inc., publisher of insurance magazines, says, "We are delighted with the results of moving our business from New York City to Morristown, N.J. - better help, better commuting, less dirt, and smaller taxes. Business trip to London last summer and Hawaii the summer before." Chet's three sons are married, the youngest in South Korea; the middle one, out of the service; and the oldest, Burton '56, now vice president, life insurance division, of his father's company.

A nice compliment from Stew Wright in Minneapolis —he has saved all our lighthearted birthday greeting cards and hopes we'll continue the custom. After a bouquet like that, how could we quit!

"No more crab grass, leaf raking or snow shoveling to worry about," says Vic Hartjens, "we have moved from the suburbs into an apartment in Georgetown (Washington, D. C.)."
