The re- union of Co. I, 18th VT. Volun-
teers, was held at Willoughby Lake, June
10. If any company of veterans know how
to have q good time it is the members and
ladies of Co. !. AS the ladies have an
equal share in the pleasures of these re-
unions, it was suggested a few years ago
that it be called Co. eve" OF all the
pleasant reunions of the company this
was the pleasantest. A larger number of
members, ladies and visitors were present,
the day was everything that could be de-
sired, and Willoughby the most delight
full place for an occasion like this. We
met at the Twombly cottage, which was
prettily decorated with ferns and ever
greens, and were cordially received by
Captain and Mrs. Averill. The forenoon
was spent in exchange of greetings So
cialIy, and in natures surrounding charms.
At noon we repaired to the church where
dinner was provided by the Ladies' Aid.
And such bountiful supply and great va
riety of tempting things as the ladies of
Westmore spread before us makes ones
mouth water to recall! Between fifty and
sixty of us did ample justice to this re-
past, after which we returned to the cot
tage, when officers were elected for the
ensuing year, and the remainder of the
the old army songs, war anecdotes, rem
iniscenses, etc. One of the pleasantest
features of this part of the program was
the reading of letters from absent COM
rades. They all seemed to have the rare
gift of letter writing, and perhaps gave us
more of their inner thoughts than if they
had been present. Captain Averill had
planned to give US sail on the KeeWay-
din, but some of the working gear of the
boat was out of order and he could not get
it repaired in time. But without this, we
were all SO well satisfied with the day we
voted unanimously to come to Willoughby
next year.
