UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY PARK LOS ANGELES July 1934 Dear Mr Everett: Certainly glad to hear from you. Much news and mighty interesting. Hoped to be able by stirring around a bit to get some news on the weighty problem of the right job for the right man, at the right time. School, teaching, business, travel, higher degree, and ripe and ready for a better teaching job. What a combination, but everyone in the teaching field out here is hanging on to their job with all the teeth they have left. And schools are not expanding. And so.....I regret to report that at present.....but I will not forget. As to other things we have a little Kiowa of our own out here and meet once a month. George Wells and wife, two daughters, two sons, two sons-inlaw, two daughters-in-law, and by the last count nine grandchildren, or is it ten or eleven. Marston Wells died two years ago, and Mrs McMahan four years ago when on a visit to us. Mrs Marston Wells is still with us, and wrote marvelous poetical minutes for the Kiowa club until two years ago. And now Ida Nay shines as poetical recorder of the deeds and doings of the said club. Her father is still alive, and still a great checker player. Her sister Nellie Nay Morrill lives in Pasadena and has a mighty nice married daughter. Harry Matthews died but his wife May and a couple of sons and daughters and theirs add to the list. Stella Hockenberry Wilson (Mrs Tommy) has a marvelous daughter Gladys (Mrs Robert Burgess) and they have a college girl (Mary Bob) and three sons. Abner Wilson died a year ago, but his wife and two sons and two daughters are still with us, all married. Uncle Jack Crewdson, after a long illness died just the other day. The Strothers family adds about eight to our gatherings, and Mrs Milton Wells (Willa Patton) and married daughter Jean. Milt lives up in the mountains. They got a divorce. Who else? Gertrude Cattell and her two boys went back to Denver last year but could not escape as a big bad bold California man went after her and married her. Hope he'll bring her back. Chas Skilling (or was he after your date, anyway he was Ada's brother) is an old bach living in Walnut Park, a suburb. Mrs Laughman comes out every year. Just had a wire from Mary McMahan that Dorsey Singleton died day before yesterday. (Wednesday) He had been in poor health and his mind was affected. A blessing that he found release. Dora is still going strong and having a good time with her church work and Faculty Wives Club (Treasurer, or Secretary from time to time) and the Town and Gown Club, and bossing her son John age 26, weight 201, and me,...age not mentioned, weight now down to 165, bath room weight, after having had a street weight for some years of 200.
