You will notice the above address change. It is a living care property similiar in most aspects to a grand hotel with all, or most all, amenities, including swimming pool, craft shops, machine and carpenter shops, two greenhouses, outdoor gardening facilities, and, above all, for when we get old, a 60-bed infirmary attached. There are 350 apartments in this new unit, and we have already found that 17 of them are occupied by Dartmouth people, one of whom is Natalie McMillan.

We are glad to at last find a fairly recent (10 years) photo of our greatest money maker, Henry M. Keith, familiarly known as Monk. He prints it (money, that is), legally, and sells it to other countries on this side of the Atlantic and perhaps other places, too. In case you overlooked it, check the September issue of the AlumniMagazine for a profile of Monk and the story of his remarkable and well-documented ancestry.

Additional on Paul Soley: He had been hospitalized with a deep phlebitis of the lower left leg, phlebograms, surgery transfusions, plasma injections, etc., etc., and though he is "now well," I think he had a rather rough time. Send him a card at 103C Georgetown Road, Charlottesville; VA 22901.

Hart Nay writes that he lost his wife, "Roma," last December to "that ole debbil," cancer. Also Alfred Pierce's wife, Nancy, died recently. Alfred sends a prayer to those who have lost their wives.

Bud Freeman has returned from a month's vacation in the wilderness of Canada. All reports indicate that Bud is doing a superior job on the scholarship project.

News is scarce, so here are a couple of quips: There is no tuition tax credit for those attending the college of hard knocks.
