COMMUNICATION Buffalo, August 12, 1935 Miss Mabel Follick Exeter, Ontario Dear Miss Follick: For some time it has been in my mind to write and tell you what a great and lasting pleasure it was to re-visit Exeter and her people, and enjoy fellowship once more with many of those I knew in boyhood days. I am directing this to you because you had most correspondence with me, and because I realize you must have put a tremendous amount of personal effort and time into mak­ ing a success of our “Re-union,” but those who were associated with you must be included to share the grate­ ful feeling that springs from my heart at the wonderful meeting I was permitted to share in. Certainly it was the embodiment of “the thrill that comes once in a lifetime” to join in the Re-union proceedings, and I beg you to com vey to the correct authorities the thanks of myself and the apprecia­ tion of my family for the glorious day we spent in Exeteir. As I can­ not normally hope to attend another Re-union, should one occur at some remote future date, we hope to re­ turn soon and see the dear old place in quieter aspect, and with enlarged opportunity of visiting old friends and acquaintances. With deep respect and admiration for those who promoted the affair, I remain ' In all sincerity yours R.
