From Lew Wood, ’46--When I received the recent copy of Howe Now and read an item by my old friend and classmate Dean Phillips, it occurred to me that I recently visited Indian- apolis and reunited with another old friend and classmate, Howard Caldwell. It is doubtful that I will be able to make it to our 65th anniversary of graduation from Howe, but it all de- pends on my mobility capabilities at that time. I just don’t travel very well anymore! But I suppose that is true of many of us eighty-plus year olds! (Ed.

Howe done is well done…

Slogans sometimes are a little trite. Sometimes they are right on the money. The latter applies in the case of the appeal we made for your financial support in the last HOWE NOW . Your response was great and much appreciated. The Thomas Carr Howe Alumni Association and its programs continue to exist because of a small, hard-core, dedicated group of Howe supporters. We need your help to continue the tradition of “Howe done is well done.” You do Howe proud with your support that proves that old slogan is still appropriate.
