1938

Athey Fuller writes from Ellsworth, Maine, that Morgan Marshall came to the East Coast last June for a family reunion and took time to visit him—"Fifty years-plus after our prior meeting, Morgan appears to be sound of mind and body and enjoying retirement. As for me, arthritis has taken me off the golf course and ski trails and onto the 'quad cane' on the way to the wheelchair." Athey's grandson, a graduate from the University of Maine, received a $300,000 signing bonus with the NHL New York Islanders. Athey and Betty will again winter in Myrtle Beach.

Heard from Doris Ward, Earl's wife, telling of a luncheon they had last April with Parker and Marion Holden, along with Gil and Fran Tanis. Earl and Doris are the proud grandparents of their sixth grandchild.

Frank Cannell is awaiting the birth of his eighth great grandchild. He and Marymoved to Colorado Springs in 1951 to help his son's asthma, retiring from Met Life in 1980..."N0 place like Colorado Springs, even as big as it is now!"

Janet Duckworth, Roy's widow, has just returned from a trip she took with her daughter on the Silver Cloud to Denmark, Norway, Scotland, and England..."No '38s on board!"

I regret having to report the deaths of four more of our classmates...Red Bliss,Walt Dodd, Al Hawkes, and JohnTower.

Tina Towne, Jim's widow, and now remarried to John Moore '40, took a trip in August to Scandinavia and St. Petersburg on the Regina Renaissance. She says "hello" to all of us!

Please don't forget to mail the green "intent card" enclosed in my initial 60th Reunion letter. Talking about "green cards," those included with Danny's last PS with my address: I must report receiving only two and one from a widow. Do you think that is fair when '38's classmates population stands at 302!

Since Turkey Day is less than two weeks away, Jean and I would like to send our very best to you for an enjoyable Thanksgiving dinner with your families.

I found this in my local newspaper and it seems appropriate for many of us..."You are sort of a person and a pretty balanced pup if you can still put on your socks while you are standing up!"
