Along with his recollections of Berwyn sixty or so years ago, George Moran sent several snapshots of some of his schoolmates, the programs for the class play and 1928 graduation exercises, and other "memorabilia" of his years at Tredyffrin-Easttown, for our collection. The club, incidentally, is always interested in obtaining old photographs and postcards and similar material from the past for its files.

Skip Eichner presented his article on "Medicine in the Revolutionary War" at the April meeting of the club. One of the club's newer members, Dr. Eichner is on the staff of the Delaware County Hospital, and is a former member of the Board of the Greater Main Line Branch of the American Red Cross.

From April 9 through June 5 this spring, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology of the University of Pennsylvania staged an exhibit entitled "River of Gold". It featured a number of artifacts of gold and other materials found in Panama in 1940 by an archaeological expedition of the Museum under the direction of Dr. J. Alden Mason, of Berwyn. "A Legacy of John Alden Mason" was presented at the March meeting of the club, just before the exhibit opened, by Elizabeth Goshorn, who was also a tour guide for the exhibit.

And finally, Bob Goshorn recalls an incident that happened forty years ago this August, when the Lincoln Highway, now better known as Route 30, was briefly used for air rather than ground transportation.
