1910

Arnold Barrett, who will be 88 on September 24, reports that he has been having his troubles with poor eyesight and a bad heart condition. His wife and daughter, however, are in good health, and all three send their best to everyone.

Andy Scarlett, who now lives with his daughter Margerie in South Windham, Me., writes that they live on Windham Hill in a beautiful neighborhood. The home was built in 1830. Margerie has done a wonderful job in making over the home for comfortable living. She installed an electric heating baseboard in Andy's room and obtained a new hospital bed for him so he has a very comfortable room. It is very good to hear that Andy is comfortable and happy.

Pineo Jackson writes that he now has a very competent housekeeper and expects his daughter to be back from Santa Barbara to stay with him a while. He says he keeps fit with his pills and "road work" but misses his hunting and fishing in Maine.

Brown Cooper died on May 24 in Fort Wayne, Ind., where he lived for many years. In his later years Brown operated Cooper's Restaurant in Fort Wayne. He received his B.A. degree with the Class of 1910. Brown was active in civic work in Fort Wayne. Fie is survived by his widow, Camille, and a son, Cyrus B. Cooper, who attended Purdue University.

I received a long newsy letter from Frank"King" Brady - typewritten (one finger job but excellent). King, who retired at 70, will be 90 on December 5. Since his wife died ten years ago he has lived alone in their home in Wellesley, Mass. He does his own cooking and in summer raises flowers and tomatoes. He still drives his own car, and occasionally he visits his son Frank '46, an English professor at City University of New York. Annually he visits a daughter in Los Angeles during January and February. King says he is very well and has no complaints.

Howard Bushaway, the ice cream tycoon of Boston, sent me a bulletin of the Massachusetts General Hospital, of which he has served as a trustee, in which the lead article, "Wright Airplane Pilot Lucky to be Alive," describes Howard's early flying experiences. He made his first flight in 1912 with Ruth Law, America's first woman pilot, and his first 1910 Wright plane was the first plane registered in Massachusetts. He considers himself lucky to be alive since all his flying associates were killed flying. The article includes a picture showing the 1910 Wright plane being repaired after a crash and the Cadillac car which he used for towing the plane.

Ken Phelps writes that his wife Ora is still very ill and requires his attention 24 hours a day. He manages to get out of the apartment to attend Rotary Club luncheon once a week.
