1927
Here it is only the eighth of September-so it is quite appropriate to hope that you had a good summer. By the time you read this the 1927 fall reunion on September 1819 will all be over, and much of the football season will be history. The good news is that yours truly is back in the saddle again having recovered moderately well from his stroke of last July. The first order of business is to thank Dow Mills for pinch-hitting for me in preparing last month's column for this periodical.
For our second attempt to condense notes and letters from classmates into the new 350 word limitation, here goes:
Joe Russekoff is one month into his ninth decade and says that it will take time getting used to. His legs are not walking at their previous gait and his fingers don't tickle the typewriter as fast as they used to in the preretirement years in his advertising business in New York City.
Hank Bayles enjoyed spending time talking to Fen Ming Tung at the 60th reunion and has since been in touch with Fen in New York City. Hank has promised to send in a story about the interesting career that Fen had during the 60 years since both graduated in 1927.
One attendee at the reunion whose name was inadvertently omitted from all published lists, per Hank Bayles,, was JeannieSlotnik, widow of Moses Slotnik. We apologize.
Rog Bury wrote in August that he and Lolly were leaving the country for a month but did not indicate where he was bound.
Meritt Joslyn reported from Hinsdale, Ill., that he is reasonably well. He still finds time for golf and has had the same secretary in his insurance business for the last 43 years.
Doc Harvey was sorry to have missed the reunion but he had complications at home with a graduation and also a marriage of grandchildren. He and Vera were planning a trip to Alaska in August.
We send our heartiest congratulations to Ben and Mim Bell who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in September at a gathering in Sarasota, Fla.
Chuck Brewster has returned home to Pleasant Hill, Tenn., after attending the reunion in June and then spending the rest of the summer at his place in Georgetown, Maine. Chuck had recently heard from RossGuyot that Ross and his wife Jean had visited Ed and Eva Ripley at the latter's home in Van Nuys, Calif., on the occasion of the wedding of the Guyots' grandson, and coincidentally, the Ripley's 50th wedding anniversary.
