1952

In mv last article I described a Northeaster here Tn New England. Little did I realize fhat the monster would drop m excess of 56 inches of white stuff. The area was left without heat liahts, etc., for four days and the kids missed "three weeks of school. As a result of the storms, my poor Mary was suffering from a bad case of cabin fever.

"'However, the department stores are dissaving their spring lines and the baseball teams are getting ready to return to the hot dog and peanuts circuit, so the bloomfog season should take us out of the winter doldrums.

Speaking of baseball, I remember very vividly a classmate of ours who was a fairly decent ball player, Ray Smith. In discussions about his baseball prowess, it was always agreed that Ray had a great pair of hands but was a little weak with the stick Being no slouch, the guy used his head and capitalized on his strong points. Recently Ray was appointed regional and commercial manager of Allstate Insurance Companies for the New England area. He will be located at the New England Regional Office in West Hartford. Ray, his lovely wife, and three children live at 290 Wolf Swamp Road, Longmeadow, Mass.

We all knew that you would put those mitts to good use, Ray! Congratulations and a job well done, and how well we realize that your customers are in good hands!!
