THIS ISSUE

goes out together with December issue, belatedly due to my accident of which I informed readers by postcard last month.

I have received so many get-well cards and letters that I find it impossible to answer them all individually, and I take this opportunity to thank all writers very sincerely and with deep appreciation.

I am gaining strength (I refused a transfusion), but I will be on crutches with my leg in a cast until April, just in time to resume my daily 15-mile round trip 1,000 ft height difference.
