1915

With this issue we are faced with what may be called an intermission extending to the October column. I am sure it is understood, however, that these columns are composed a couple months prior to publication which, in this instance, means that this is written late in April. So - here we go!

15ers who showed up at the Pillar House on April 16 included Dale Barker, Ed Dewing, JerryShaw, Duze Lounsberry, and Eben Clough. Ed related some juicy incidents that occurred when he was on the Superior Bench before his retirement. He is still busy with old and new clients as the jovial Judge of Wellesley, and Eben recalled some of the doings and stories of himself and Opidildock Horton. We wish space would permit some other anecdotes which Eben produced out of his get-to-gether with Opi. Eben sure can produce a bunch of reminiscences!

An interesting letter from my "twin" GeorgeIngalls, in Boulder, Colo., went into quite some detail of his various jaunts by air from New York to various parts of the world, most of them locations which we "stay-at-homers" have barely heard of, such as Dakar, Senegal, Lagos, Nigeria, Nairobi, Kenya. An indication can be gathered from the endless varieties of creatures he mentioned - flamingos, gnus, lions, elephants, zebras, gazelles, jackels, hyenas, and whatnot. He stated that Nairobi is one of the most beautiful cities he had ever seen and the tour used it as a sort of central point for two five-day "safaris" by mini-bus to national parks and game preserves of Kenya and Tanzania. Another very interesting place, he said, was the 10-mile wide Ngorongoro crater where he saw the above mentioned endless variety of creatures. Their safari was fortunate in briefly visiting the Oldurari Gorge and seeing the exact spot where in 1959 Dr. Leakey found the oldest yet discovered skull of ancient man. George wound up with "it took me three days, after getting back home, to recover from the long flights and ten hours' changes in time." He says "all's well now!"

Being as how the compilation of this "essay" has brought this writer to the edge of cocktail time in the "wilds" of our establishment here in New York City, said writer will now obey the calls that are coming from his worth-while mate and will wish all classmates a grand and glorious entrance into the new era that has just arrived. Best wishes to all and a Happy Summer!
