1911

Just over a year had passed since the class suffered any further loss in the diminished ranks of its surviving members. But that welcome interim was broken with the deaths of Charlie Jordan on June 18 and Hopper Allison on July 12. See the obituary section of the September issue for more details on Charlie's life, and of this or the next issue for Hopper's notice.

In early May, Don Cheney wrote as follows in explaining his inability to attend the 70th reunion: "On February 9 I took a tumble off a ladder, falling backward and breaking half a dozen ribs and shaking me up in general. I am still pretty sore and swollen, am getting around ; on a walker, and have hardly been out of the house. This kills my plan to attend commencement in Hanover for our 70th year out. I had my plans made to be there, and I am very disappointed." We hope that by now you have made a complete recovery, Don, and are carrying on as usual.

Also in May, we received word from TrueDudley, keeping us up-to-date on his status. He wrote that he is still getting around and walks about a quarter of a mile a day when the weather permits. He was then on the point of moving again to an area called Park Village, designed especially for the elderly. The section has a cafeteria, housekeepers are available, and there are spacious grounds for walking and an infirmary. His new address is Apt. #1188, Park View Village, 2004 Max Luther Drive, Huntsville, Ala. 35810. He expressed his regret at missing the 70th, as he was due to be moving at about that time.

No further news was received during the summer recess.
