PERSONAL  MENTION  FROM  SOUTHERN 
CALIFORNIA. 

E.  C.  McKee,  '81,  is  a  temporary  visitor  here  in 
Los  Angeles.  He  is  spending  most  of  h is  time  with 
his  daughter  and 
two  grandchildren  while  here. 
Santa  B a r b a ra  h as  been  his  home  for  several  years, 
but  he  h as  recently  bought  ten  acres  of  orange  land 
at  Rialto,  San  Bernardino  county,  and  will  hereafter 
m a ke  t h at  place  his  home.  He  is  anticipating  much 
pleasure  in  growing  t he  golden  fruit,  and  we  antici 
pate  that  we  m ay  see  more  of  h im  t h an  in  the  past, 
as  he  is  only  about  fifty  miles  out  from  Los  Angeles, 
with  good  car  service,  both  steam  and  electric. 

A.  H.  Voigt,  '81, president  of  the  California  Furni 
ture  Company,  leaves  for  the  E a st  next  week,  on  his 
semiannual  purchasing  trip  for  stock  for  their 
large 
l u r n i t u re  store.  He  expects  to  be  in  Grand  Rapids 
about  J a n u a ry  20th.

We  now  have  record  of  56  M.  A.  C.  graduates  and 
former  students  located  in  various  p a r ts  of  southern
