Several years ago this writer had the extreme pleasure of being privileged to describe Frederic P. Lord as the Complete Man at a meeting of a large group of DMS alumni who had returned to Hanover to honor this grand gentleman. Today it is with an equal degree of sorrow that we must write you of his death on October 30. For those of us who enjoyed being associated with this superlative teacher during his 1911-1947 tenure, his death creates a real void.

HaroldHawkins M'64 recently breezed through too rapidly to be seen, but promised to return. . . . The John McGowan's M'6s are celebrating the arrival of Angela Kay on September 6. . . .
