Or.old fiends, as it comes out sometimes when the linotype operator, is not on his toes ha ha. I have a couple of old fiends who managed to drop in while I was getting ready to go to England. Between them, they almost aborted the trip. . It's not thatthey bother me. I wouldn't say that. It's just that they ctpple me for about two days each, by the time we finish reminiscing and get to bed as the robins begin to chirp. That's not so bad. A chap must expect. that sort of ruin. But they brought with them a couple o4' other old fiends—their wives. That's what really put the tart on the griddle, as Lord Faversham said while he was roasting a well-known 'street -walker. We have all sorts of friends, eh?

As a gen- tleman, I can only agree with them. Yes, a chap gathers a lot of friends over a few decades. But the two I mentioned earlier on are a little special. Bub and Trap. We joined the air force together, drank beer together, sang bawdy songs together, and pursued, the fair sex together. We learned to fly together. On one leave, we hitchhiked to New York together and I can still remember Bub, after a bit of intemperance or something, spewing all over Broadway from the window of a taxi. Broadway has gone steadily downhill since. We went -our several ways during • the big conflagration, and all managed to stay alive during various hairy incidents. When we got home from the wars, we' got in touch. ' We were all going to college and funds were pretty slim, but we'd get together occasionally for some of the old riotous living of the rude soldiery. We all fell in love about the same time Band • got married about the same time. We each have two children and have - shared the woes and glows of raising kids. The three girls we' chose, Peg, Ruth and Suse, °are still married to us, something of a record these days. We've all been modestly sue- cessful in a material way and modestly unsuccessful in a spirited% way. Our • `wives tell us, in- dividually, that we are rotten husbands and fathers, but we don't see them reaching into the grab-bag 'for substitutes. When we meet, a couple of times a year, we compare mid- dle-aged aches�Cfid pains, but we're young at heart, as you would clearly see if you drop- ped by about 4 a.m. We'll probably, wind up in the same Home for Senile Veterans. If we do, we'll keep it lively. Yes, a man acquires a lot of friends ,fin a lifetime. But not many of us have`two old fiends like Trap and Bub to drop around and turn us into living skeletons when we're trying to g t ready to go' to England.
