Holidays

Boys,

I am in Florida for a couple of weeks. I will be home for the lunch on Monday the 30th. As many of you know Dr. E. David Morgan will be receiving an honorary degree from MUN on the 26 of May, I think. Bill Abraham is hoping to get him to come to our lunch. I am always amazed at how wide and far the Feildian family stretches. We have Munden bray in Papua New Guinea, David Morgan in England and Eric Pitcher in South Africa. This does not include all the Boys in the States and those in Canada.

Another old boy, Senator William Rompkey, will be leaving the Senate sometime this year. What a great political career he has had. Do we know of any other Feildians who served in the House of Commons as I cannot remember off the top of my head right now.

Ellen and I are soaking up the sun for the next few days. I am planning bringing a healthy dose of good weather back with me as I see from the weather in NL that it is 4C and cloudy.

See you all on the 30th.
