There are several ways to submit Class Notes:

Dulany deButts 4800 Fillmore Avenue, Apt. 456 Alexandria, VA 22311 (H) 703-998-3051 ddebutts@verizon.net

Well, I waited for a year after Gibby Semmes’ death before beginning to try to take his place. Here I am. How long should I wait for you guys to contact me with news? So here’s mine from this retirement home near The High School. Last year I talked to Carrington Herbert, and he sounded the same. His wife is a good hunter and was out looking for a shot at something. Then I had a long talk with Jim Malony. He was one of seven EHSers that went to West Point the year after they finished EHS. War was on, remember? Write, call, e-mail ddebutts@verizon.net, or something. Phone is 703-998-3051. My best to all, Dulany deButts.

From John Melvin: Spoke with Dave “Farmer” Carr recently. He’s having some serious trouble with one of his legs; gangrene, to be specific. I am putting him in my prayers every night, figuring that he needs all the help he can get. Maybe it would add an extra push if the 44

rest of our class followed my lead. Thanks in advance. Had a real nice note from Walter Rogers who is residing at the RappahannockWestminster Retirement Home in Irvington, Va. He says that he is on an active program involving an “exercise class three times a week” and taking long walks. He sees David Burke, who is also at the same retirement home, at dinner occasionally. I am still battling the skin cancer involving my legs which is so irritating. I cannot run anymore, and I totter instead of walking. I have been accused of overindulging in John Barleycorn. I wish that it were true! For those of you that have some news, write (or call) so that the Class of ’43 can be informed.

From Harvey: I am still going to the office and spending half a day or so and just getting in the way of our people. It gives me something to do, and I still enjoy the challenge of working. I have had the opportunity to have lunch once with Brad Tazewell ’44 and on a monthly basis with Jack Clarkson ’48 to keep up. I have also had the good fortune of being with Stuart Gilchrist on several occasions. Stuart and Mary John are living at Williamsburg Landing, a continuous care retirement community in Williamsburg. I also had the opportunity to talk with George Francisco, who lives in Houston; he is doing well, as is Bill Lummis. They asked about many of our classmates. I also received a call a few months ago from Gene Geer, and he brought me up to date with the EHS alumni in Charleston. Hugo Blankingship and I shared a double bunk room in my second year at EHS,
