The perseverance, faith and good fellowship of our members ' through these years has molded together an organization of which we should all be proud. We have grown in both numbers and prestige. We have been instrumental in having legislation passed which has benefited not only our members but also the veterans in general. We are proud of our contact with our deceased buddies through their families, wives, and the Gold Star Mothers. The future of our organization is in the hands of each member. Do your part, cooperate with your officers, you will be the one to benefit through a better A.D.B.C. I wish to thank all the officers who have worked so hard the past two years to give the members the best results possible. Thanks, gentlemen. JOSEPH A. VATER Joseph A. Vater, whose home is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has been elected to this position. Joe was one of the organizers of the Pennsylvania Chapter and the first Commander of the Pennsylvania Chapter. H e is married and the father of three very fine children. He is working as an estimator for a painting concern and recently built his own home. A former member of the 803rd Aviation Engineers, he served on Bataan and Corregidor. H e was in Cabanatuan and Mukden, Manchuria. Joe's home is always open to any Bataan and Corregidor survivor. HOTEL BRADFORD, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - . SATURDAY, MAY SEVENTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE On the next few pages you will find the events that havetakn place in the last ten years in the lives of the men and women who fought in the Defense of the Philippine Islands. I believe we have acquired many qualities through the years of hardship that we endured together during W orId War II-the meaning of Will power, tolerance, the ability to forgive, the understanding of God's will and His ways, knowing how to wait, knowing how to share, and knowing how to get along with our fellow man regardless of race, c'Olor, or creed. Therefore, for those who are gone, our wounded and incapacitated comrades, for the mothers, wives and dear ones who have suffered, this book is respectfully dedicated. SAM MOODY History of the Year 1946 In January 1946 a few of the Project·J men who were stationed at Lovell General Hospital, Fort Devens, Massachusetts, talked about fOrming an organization made up of the men and women who had been POW's together. This was over a few beers one day, over the Mess Hall tables the next, and in the hospital wards at night. After getting the basic idea, a meeting was called at the Base Theater for all ex-POW's to discuss the idea. From that day, with a meeting of about 80 ex-POW's, the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor was born. The following is an extract ,from the Lowell Sun, Lowell, Massachusetts, dated 28 January 1946. This story tells as near as we can find out the start of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor: " A few days ago in a Main Street law office of this old New England community, was born one of the most unusual and unquestionably the most exclusive organization to come out of the maelstrom of World War IiI, and with it came a first hand account of one of the epics of world history - the def ense of Bataan and Corregidor and the infamous "Death March on Bataan" as told by American soldiers who participated in and miraculously came through it all. The organization 'The American Defenders of Bataan and Corregfdor, Inc.' whose organizers were prompted by the loftiest of motives to band together the survivors of the immortal defense of continental America's outer-Pacific outposts, deemed it fitting that the town of Ayer, from where some of the finest fighting men of World War IT left to enter the ultimately victorious battle against the ruthless forces of the Axis powers, should be its legal birthplace. For through this town passed :threequarters of a million of New England's youth as raw recruits on their way for induction at Fort Devens. and here was heard the tread of marching feet of the "Fighting First", 26th Yankee, 32nd and 45th Infantry divisions. In this town also daily hurry hundreds of these same New England youths on their way home with the coveted discharges won after varying periods of . service in all theatres of war, and through here have passed the warweary, the wounded and the sick on their wav to the Lovell General Hospital at Fort Devens to continue the seemingly endless battle for the good health which it seems only yesterday they had enjoyed. Among this latter group are 200 New F'1gland survivors of the Bataan Death March from whom as they lay on painwracked beds at the Lovell General ( 3) Hospital, or walked around its spacious grounds as they gradually were gaining the strength stolen ·from them by their infamous captors - came the idea that matured into being in the law office of World War I, veteran and past commander of the Groton Post, American Legion, Ralph B. Bowmar. To him they entrusted the details of making certain their organization was legally incorporated and they were free to carry on for ,t hose 'who didn't come through, and that their dependents never would want.''' It was decided by the first officers that the first: cOillventlon would be held in Boston and everyone would bring their famllles and friends. On April 9, 1946 ~t the . iHotel Bradford, Boston, Massachusetts, one of the greatest conventions ever held by any group returning from World War tr was conducted. The State of Massachusetts made April the 9th ''Hataan Day" and .!!'av,~ all the kids a day off from school. The city put on one of the greatest parades ever seen past or present Major General Edward P. King Jr., our Honorary Commander, led the parade witnessed by 500,000 people. After the parade, in which over 750 exJp()W's marched, a dinner· dance was held at the Hotel Bradford with about 1300 gueSts attending. . Anyone who went will tell you it was great. People talk abOut '1t when they TENTH ANNIVERSARY AMERICA N DEFENDERS OF B A T AAN A ND CORR EGIDOR gather around to swap war stories. A few of the members who gave us a helping hand when we first started were· Dom Giantonio, Larry Martel, Ed Martel, Hank Sanochi, Bill Sniezko, John Hatch, Jimmy McCarthy, Hank Wilayto, Stinky Stankistis, Sgt. Prince of the USMC and his wife, Harriet, Ray Morgan, Colonel Kostechi, George Picerillo, Harold Spooner, Sam Moody, Earl (Killer) Kane, Everett Roseen, Mike Tardivo. In 1946 we had the help of one civil· ian and most people who knew him will agree he was a wonderful guy. Although he wasn't in the service, Cy Stewart will always be remembered by the gang from 1946 as being a great person. If I have missed giving credit to any· one else who had helped make the 1946 convention a success, please for· give me as 10 years is a long time and I may have unconsciously overlooked some of the names. SAM MOODY 1946 Convention Chairman History of the Year 1947 As I pore through my files, memories keep crowding each other - forcing me back to those hectic days when the turbulent rush of events kept us hopping prior to the eventful day of April 9, 1947. I remember the "old faithful guard" that rallied round the first National office at 120 Boylston Street - Helen (Cassiani) Mester, who spent many an hour keeping all of us hopping, Frank Margiotto, Simme Kickman, Johnny Ray, Bob Doyle, Nick Metta, Ray Morgan, Jim McEvoy and a host of others _ all putting their shoulder to the task that almost got out of hand. Some of the old timers may remember that the second convention was originally planned for Washington, D. C. but, with the committee in Boston, Washington was too far away to do any kind of a fair job at all. At the same time the hotels were already spoken for the week of the 9th. Jim McEvoy, after a fiying trip to the Capital, decided that Boston w()uld be a better choice. So·o·o the members trooped back to the City of the Bean and the Cod and we had a rip·roaring meeting that kept people pro and con· ning for a many a day afterward. When I look back upon those days, I think the men elected to lead OUe organization gave added meaning to the theme of the convention - ·'Pres· tige." The following day the Boston Herald carried this account of the activities: "Five years from the day he surrendered Bataan to the Japanese, Maj..Gen. Edward P . King of Atlanta, Ga., was elected national commander of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregido'T vesterday afternoon by 300 delegates of the heroic gTOUP's second national conevntion in the City Club. After the organization's business was completeld, he reviewed mechanIzed cavalry troops on the Common as the Army paid tribute on Bataan Day.

( 4) lJOTEL BRADFORD, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - With Gen. King, now retired, in the reviewing stand were several of the r:c\"Ily·elected Bataan group national c-fTlcers, Lt. Col. Chester L. Johnson of Cambridge, his aide, and Lt.-Col. Don:> In. B. Harriott, commander of the I. rmy show on the Common. Other officers elected at the second national convention of Bataan fighters were Simme Pickman of Lynn, viceco_nmander; Robert Doyle of Boston treasurer; Chief Frank J . Magiotto of. Medford, secretary; Sgt Arthur Bressi of Kaiser, Pa., adjutant. In a stormy session members of the group voted to set up an organization 01 regional chapters, and to hold next year's convention in Albuquerque N. M. It indorsed a pending bill t~ set up a reparations commission to dem and damages from the Japanese government fOT the agonies suffered by the men and women of Bataan and Corregidor. At last night's banquet, Gen . King called for a strong military force to prevent any posibility of another war. . '~ call on you to alert your fellow cltlzens who are less informed than you,' Gen. King said. 'Our people and p~ess cry out for peace, believing that WIth the invention of wonderful new weapo~s we shall never have to fight defensIvely again: '~o ma~ who has been in a war will behev~ thIS for a minute_ The trained man IS the basis of national defense from the bow and arrow to the atom: Weapons change. Men change from freedom to slavery as they lose the courage and spirit to defend their . country.' Other speakers included Rep. John McCormack, James F. Reynolds, commander of the Massachusetts Veterans of Foreign Wars, and representatives o~ Gov. B:adford, Mayor Curley, the FIrst SerVIce Command and the First Naval District." HENRY J . WILAYTO 1947 Convention Chairman SATURDAY, MAY SEVENTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE Newly elected Commander Major Talbot and members meet with Governor Tobin at State House, Boston, Mass., May 1947 History of the Year 1948 The Third Annual Convention was held at the Hotel Commodore New York City, on April 8 and 9, 1948.'Major Ray Morgan was the Convention Chairman . It was at this convention that after three years of trying to really get a National Organization started that we turned to more serious nature of business. Dues were raised from $1.00 to $3.00 a year in order to keep our organization going. The additional amO'Unt in dues was necessary to help put out the "Quan", answering corresoondence, and to keep the club going in general. It was voted at the convention to make the "Quan" a monthly newspaper. The follOwing officers were elected at the 1948 Convention: Simme Pickman. National Commander; Robert Doyle, Vice-Commander; Frank Margiotto, Secretary; George Piccirillo, Treasurer; James E . Brennan, Adjutant. Members of the New England Chapter take part in parade at Boston, Mass., in 1948 The main banquet was held in the main ball room of the Commodore Hotel on the 9th of April with over 500 ex-POWs and their families being present, One of the highlights of the Convention was when General King and about 20 other members were guests of the Ringling Brothers Circus at the Madison Square Garden. A really good time was had by all. ( 5) History of the Year 1949 The Fourth Annual Convention was held at the Hotel Ambassador, Atlantic City, N. J. IAt the business meeting, the members called for enactment by Congress of bills sponsored by ,t he Truman Administration to give American servicemen $1 a day for each day spent in a prisoner of war camp. They also adopted resolutions supporting the Presi- TENTH ANNIVERSARY dent's civil rights program and urging the United States government to take all possible steps to strengthen the United Nations. Simme Pickman of Lynn, Mass. was r elected Commander. Other officers chosen included : Albert Senna of New Brunswick, N. J ., Vice Commander, Frank Margiotto of Medford, Mass., secr etary ; George Piccirillo of Newtonville, Mass., treasurer, Harold Brennan of Atlant ic City, N. J., Adjutant, Robber t Levering, Mount Vernon, Ohio, Judge Advocate, Perry O. Wilcox of Elmira, N . Y. and Herman Baumann of Pittsburgh, Chaplains. The speakers during the annual dinner included Generals King and Bleumel, Sen. Frank S. Farley and Congressman T . Millet Hand of New Jersey. This convention turned out to be one of our biggest conventions · - maybe because Atlantic City is a convention town or maybe in 1948 everyone just felt like having a get-together. Ex- _ POWs came from all over the country. One plane load came all the way from Oklahoma. The parties that were thrown that April weekend will long be the talk of the Ambassador Hotel Al Senna was Convention Chairman and he and his committee made the Atlantic City Convention one of the best reunions we have had. History of the Year 1950 The 1950 National Convention of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor was held at the William Penn Hotel, Pittsburgh, Penn. It was my pleasure to be appointed chairman of the Convention Committee. The following members formed the nucleus of my committee Joe iVeter, Moe Mazer, Bob Levis, Bob Adams, Stan Korczyk, Bob Neil, Joe Glessner, and Stan Patrick. Also the cooperation of the National officers was greatly aporeciated. I am quite proud to review some 01 the more interesting events of the 1950 convention as I still receive comments on the good time had by the members. Friday evening we introduced something new to entertain :the guests. Through the cooperation of Post 5 of the Americcm Legion in Pittsburgh we had free refreshments, food and entertainment. Sunday morning through the cooneration of the Pittsburgh Ford dealers the Gold Star Mothers, wives and g-uests were taken on a sightseeing tour of the city. As the guests were enjoving the tour, the members were electing Mr. Al Senna as National Commander and selected Philadelphia as thp. sit p of the 1951 convention. The banauet S aturdav evening was very well attended, approximatelv 525 members and guests were in attendancp.. Through the courtesy of Mr. O. D . Robinson all the ladies received a beautiful corsage and at each plate wa s a cocktail. After the dinner and after t he many guests were Introduced, we w ere favored by several fine talks. A feature of the evening- was a good "ribbing- skit'· bv Luke Barnett. Then came th'e fioor show - one that won't AMERICAN DEFENDERS OF B ATAAN A N D CORREGIDO R Members stationed at Westover Air Force Base, Massachusetts, meet with Commanding General and National Commander Pickman, NCO Club, 1950. be forgotten by anyone present. About ten acts of the finest entertainment on the American Stage Al Morgan, The Deep Rhythm Boys, to mention a few. This show was directed by Marge Nelson, a Pittsburgh theatrical agent. Dancing followed after the show. It is quite obvious this program could not have been possible without the cooperation of many men outside our organization, a few of whom were Dr. Stevenson, Mayor [jawrence, Mr. O. D. Robinson, Oliver Kaufman, the Allegheny Council of Veteran Organizations and many other prominent Pittsburgers. REV. HERMAN C. BAUMAN Chairman 1950 Convention convention, he wrote to all his friends, urging them to attend. Others who helped to make the convention a success were: Edward Smack, James V. Kiernan, Robert Levis, Morton Feinberg, Eugene McCann, George E . Wills, Grant Thomas, Robert J. Russell, John Banach, Norman T. Scott, Joseph Goodman, M/ Sgt. John Krisopovitz, and Samuel Blank. Thanks was also given to Col. Charles A. McLaughlin , Re t., Coordinator of Committees, Robert W . Levering, Chairman 01' the Resolutions Committee, and to Rev. John McNicholas and Father Herman C. Baumann, the Convention Chaplains. History of the Year 1951 The 1952 Convention 'held in Columbus, Ohio in May 2, 3, and 4 was written off as a complete success considering the fine attendance of some 350 members and families and also the organization handled b y convention chairman Mike Dunn. The town knew we had arrived and treated us as we have been so gratefully accepted in past convention cities. The convention in general was orderly and enjoyed by all. An innovation that year was the Memorial ceremonies held in front of the Ohio State Legislature Bldg. on Saturday afternoon with several noted Ohio officials present honoring our past war dead. A significant number of Gold Star Mothers traveled many miles to be with us, many who have n ever missed a convention. Our banquet, held in the main ballroom of the Deshler-Wallick Hotel, was highlighted by a speech made by Honorable John J . Dempsey, congressman from New Mexico, in which he cited the great importance for all O'f us to continue in the national fight against communism. The convention began Friday, the day ending with a get-together dance and party at the main Columbus American L egion Post a s our hosts. The 1951 Convention was held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel with approximately 600 persons in attendance. The Convention Committee was headed by J'a mes Cavanaugh. The guest speaker at the convention was Retired Marine Brigadier General James P . S. Devereux, who was Commanding Officer of the Wake Island Detachment. First Defense Battalion during the heroic but futile defense of Wake Island from December 8 to 23, 1941. His speech was broadcast over a national hook-up.· One of the toughest jobs of any convention is raising money. That year Louis Goldstein, who was Chairman of the Finance Committee, covered the assignment magnificently. Lew collected over $1400.00 alone and as a result of his efforts and those of James Cavanaugh, Louis Slattery, General Bluemen, Joseph Goodman, and Jimmy Kiernan, the price of the tickets was heM to a minimum. The success of any affair or organization deoends a lot upon an able secretary. This 10b was handled very well by Gilbert B . Soifer. In addition to answering all the mail concerning the ( 6) History of the Year 1952 H OTEL BRA DFORD, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - SATURDAY, MAY SEVENTH, NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE Saturday we h ad busines meetings and new officers were elected and impc r tan t resoluti ons were favored. The convention ended Sunday, May 4, with church services and final reuni ons until t he 1953 convention. History of the Year 1953 The Eig h th Annual Convention was held on May 1, 2, and 3, 1953 at the P a ntli n d Hotel, Grand Rapids, Michigan. Th e Convention Committee was made up of Edward E. Thomas, Walter E. Scott, J ack G. Versluis, Julius D. G:: n dzar, Walter E . Ston e, Harold J. Whitcomb. These six f ellows did a fine job of m a king the coiwention a success. It wasn 't the biggest convention ever h eld as far as attendance, but I still h ear s tories about t hings that went on th ere. In fact I h eard the hotel won't be ok an y more conventions unles s we brin g our own piano! On F r iday th e 1st of May the wives wer e g iven a tour of the furniture sh ow rO:J m s of Grand Rapids. On F riday evening "Tenko Time" was held at the DA V Pos t in Gr and R a pids.

One of th e high lig h ts was the community singing in w hich everyone participated. The g uest of honor was Rear Admiral Frederick Bell, U.S. Navy (retired), who gave a wonderful address to our members . The Mayor of Grand Rapids made Saturday 2 May 1953 "Bataan and Corregidor Day". The people of that city m ade all the m embers really feel at home. Anoth er h ighlight of the convention was th e overnigh t bus r ide by the men and th eir wives fro m Pittsburgh to Gr a nd R a pids. The fo llowing are fa cts never publish ed before. This is information that we felt would be of interest to members of this organiza tion who took part in the Philippine Campaign during 1941 and 1942.

At the International War Crimes Trials in Japan, it was estimated between 1200 and 1500 died on the Bataan Death March. History of the Year 1954 Brig. Gen. Carlos P. Romulo, special Philippine representative in the United States, was the principal speaker at the Ninth Annual Convention. He described the defense of Dienbienphu in Indo-China against Communist Viet Minh rebels as "the 1954 version of Bataan". He said that although Bataan fell to the Japanese, it was really a victory for the United States because "America still retained the loyalty of the native population" . This loyalty w as earned by "America's promise of independence" to the Philippines, he said. "But if Dienbienphu falls, it will be a tragic defeat for the free world." Following General Romulo's address, he unveiled the memorial plaque. The following Officers were elected at the business meeting: Joseph A. Vater, Commander, Albert Senna Sr., Vice Comander, Harry ilVIenozzi, Treas urer , Tony Greco, Jr., Vice·Commander, Kenneth Stull, Secretary, Kenneth TENTH ANNIVERSARY Curley, Adjutant, Robert W. Levering, Judge Advocate, Samuel M. Bloom, M.D., Surgeon, Rev. John E. Duffy and Rev. Herman Baumann, Chaplains. On Friday evening a real "wing ding" was 'held at the Arlington Hall in New York City. Everything was furnished by the Convention Committee, including refreshments, floor show, dancing and even door prizes. A bottle of San Miguel Beer was presented to each man present as a souvenir of the Convention. It was a read 'g ood convention and the 1954 committee deserved a real vote of thanks for a great job. The committee included IAl Senna, Tony Greco, Austin Patrizzo, and George Challie. ALSENNA 1954 Convention Chairman History of the Year 1955 It seems the older the organization gets the busier it becomes. The year 1955 was one of small headaches and wishful thinking by some, but your National organization headed by Joe Vater came through with a great convention held at the Hotel Bradford, Boston, Massachusetts on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of May 1955. M/Sgt. Samuel Moody USAF was the Convention Chairman assisted by Simme Pickman, Hank Wilayto, Johnny Ray, Nick Metta, Forrest Auld, and ,H arry Liskowski. The three day affair was attended by about 500 ex-POW's and their fam· ilies. During the past ten years, it seems we have grown up a little, because in the spring of 1955, the United States Air Force asked our organization to assist it with one of its National Projects. In February 1955, our organization appointed a National Ground Observer Corps Committee to assist the USAF. About 20 members volunteered to serve on the first committee, including your National Commander. At the National Convention in Boston, Major General Irving of the United States :Air Force gave the members a briefing on the Air Defense system of the United States. He caliled upon those members of our organization not on active duty to help sell the defense of our contry to their friends and neighbors. On Friday prior to the main banquet, a "Quan" party was held in the Governor Bradford Room of the Hotel Bradford. A floor show, dancing, free refreshments and door prizes were enjoyed by all. On Saturday evening 7th of May, the main banquet was a little more on the quiet side with the renewing of old friendships with members who just came in to attend the main reunion.

We have a Christmas party each year and a picnic In the summer. Some of the Mothers have attended every Convention since the Boston Convention in 1946. This event is a high light for the Gold Star Mothers, who look forward to meeting "Our Boys" and their families.

I· AMERICAN DEFENDERS OF BAT AAN AND CORREGIDOR SEE YO·U ' IN 1956 1-19-55 War Crimes Trials The m en who went back to Tokyo, for the War Trials will t ell you about them, if you ask them. The City of Tokyo will never be the same again after the year and a half that the members of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor spent there as War Crimes witnesses. It was, with· out a doubt, the biggest, longest, and strangest affair ever held by a group of ex·POW's. The first ex·POW's started to arrive back in Tokyo the early part of Decem· ber 1946 and the last did not leave until late fall of 1948. Many of the ex·POW's lived in a home called the Ito House, about 5 miles out of Tokyo. The house had about 27 rooms with large and beauti· ful grounds surrounding the area. It was here the ex·POW's held the most talked about lawn and quan parties ever held in Japan. Don't think that this was just a wild vacation, because the ex·POW's worked - and worked hard. Hundreds of Japanese were brought to trial. The ex-POW's testified at their trials, and all who were guilty were punished, some severely. No ex·guards or Japanese officers who were guilty of any atrocities were allowed to go free until they had been brought t o trial. It is sincerely believed that the ex· POW's who went back to testify at the ' Trials did a great deal of good to bring about a Peace Treaty. It was said that in the short time the ex·POW's lived at the Ito House, more candy and chewing gum were passed out to Japan· ese children, the ex·POW's clothed more ragged children, played more base· ball, and stopped more Japanese from being beat up by young GI's who were too young to fight in WWII, than all the M.P.'s together. About 50 ex· POW's went back to Japan to help testify at the Trials dtirfng the early part of 1947, the Japanese at Yokiichi built a memorial to ' all the Americans who passed away there during the war. A number of ex· POW's went down for the ceremonies Col. Montgomery was Officer in Charge, with Major Short, Barney Grill, Dominick Prosperio, Sam Moody, Har· old Dinsmore, and Sgt. Coxey - just to name a few of the men who went to the ceremonies. A wreath of flowers was ,placed on the monument by Col. ( 10 ) Major accused Jap'a nese war criminals, on trial before the International Military Tribunal for the Far East, enter War Ministry building, Tokyo, Japan, for opening session of their tria ls. Mont gomery and Sgt. Moody on behalf of the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor. This was just one of the many events that the ex·POW's held in Japan. On 9 April 1947 one of the biggest military gatherings ever held in the Far East was a get·together of all ex·POW's at the American Club in Tokyo. The pro· ceeds of this affair were sent back to the Main Office of the ADBC to help buy the Gold Star Mothers' unifol'IJ.ls. A few of the m embers who helped at the War Trials were: Col. Montgomery, Col. Flineau, Major Short, M/Sgt. Joe Pace, Capt. Forbes, Col Swartz, M/Sgt. Barney Grill, M/Sgt. Dom Prosperio, M /Sgt. Jim Laird, M / Sgt. Tyler, T/ Sgt. Jack Bell, Lt. Britton, Eugene Clerec, Donald Ingle, Baker Austin, Lt. Ted Leitz, T / Sgt. Ernie Wilkinson. Most of the men gave up a year or more of their lives to go back to Japan to bring to trial the Japanese who had committed crimes against Americans. They also gave up chances for promo· tions, readjustment of grades and good assignments as Project J men. The two week vacation in Florida was also passed up by most of these witnesses to help bring the War Trials to a speedy close. So if they only tell you about the good side, also remember the other side and what they gave up to do their share to bring to a close the chapter of history marked "Bataan and Corregi· dor".

( 11) TENTH ANNIVERSARY On the following pages you will find the names of the members Who were kind enough to fill out the "Yearbook Information Sheet" and mail it in. On most of the forms the message was about the same - "that all memo bers would like to hear from former friends and also that their homes are always open to ex"POW's who might be passing through". In the event that your message does not appear it is only because about 80 percent of the messages were the same. We do hope that this year you will make an effort to renew old friendships with your former buddIes and friends. ABRAMS, BERNARD 406 W. 46th, New York, N. Y.
