Had a long talk with Ed Reich, reminiscing back to 1926, when we knew each other at camp. He still plays nine holes of golf and also has a remarkable memory. He even remembers the street address of my roommate Harold Silverman when in college, which led him to ask me about Harold’s widow, Renee, who still lives in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, which led me to call her. She is doing fine. Ed is not coming to California in December, as Robert is coming east. That is a disappointment to me, as I really enjoy getting together with them.


Tried to get together with Lou and Harriet Bookheim, who said they were not up in the way of entertainment. We will try again to make a lunch date.


Had a nice conversation with Leon Kent. He has been married three times in Paris to Monette: when in the service, to comply with French law and also to make sure he was married by a Protestant minister and a rabbi.


Evelyn Eisendrath writes she misses Bill very much, and that he did what he wanted to do in life. He worked hard raising cattle.


Happy Thanksgiving to all.
