Dear Solon: | \

Father O'Neil did a swell job considering the fact that he
knew very few of the Rotarians by name. I sat next to hin
and helped him as fer es possible.

Revert MeNair Davis introduced 4, W, Davis, and W. W. intro«-
duoed Hovey Nanna; lovey Manna introduced Walt Varnum, and
they ven Elmer Ousdahl in on Hovey. Then Ousdahl introduced
Caryl Dodds, and Dodds + Ralph Ward; Ralph Ward « Frenk Danks,
and Frank Danks ~ George B, Smith. Capt. Smith - Ke W. David~
gon, and K. ¥, introduced Ted Aszman. Yes, and by the ways
Walt Varnim introduced Dave Horlameans.

Father O'Me1l wes not altogethor familiar with the other
names and the group was so mixed up that I thought we better
@all it off at 1:30 instead of running to 1:45, ‘There are |
still follows who want to go through with their introductions
so if at all possible I think we had better close it up this
next week if we can. If you have a program already arranged
maybe we could do it between courses, fF course, the courses
are rather scanty, but 1% could be arranged. ,

It really is a good thing ani I think Father O'Neil did a
swell job, but frankly he knows very few of the men to oall
them by name and it dragged a little, so we oslled it off
with his cooperation. We had a fine meeting and I am sorry
that you could not be with us.

Rotarily yours,

PCA:AT ) President.
