It is always a pleasure to visit the Manchester, N.H., Country Club, the scene of our
last meeting, July 7. T h e view of the course
from the rear of the spacious club house is an
attractive picture of lucious fairways extending into distant borders of large white pine
trees. T h e scene is one of those tempting
"Come and try me" looks. Those stately innocent looking white pines always give an account of themselves during a r o u n d of golf.
T h e resounding KLICK KLOCK of golf
balls hitting the fat tree trunks was a consoling reminder that somebody else was in
trouble too.
T h e r e was no doubt that a good time was
h a d by all, thanks to an appetizing luncheon,
the generous hospitality of the club and in
particular the kindness of host Supt. Ed
Buecher and Mrs. Buecher who graciously
entertained some of our ladies.

Congratulations, boys, to both of you.
