o. Commander French "The Girl |
! Left Behind Me-"
The hour that followed was de-
voted largely to "reminiscences by
the veterans and many instances
were related OF sacrifice and suffer
! ing. Comrade Vesper gave quite an
extended account of his painful eX-
/ perience after his arm was amputated
in the battle of the Wilderness and
how finally he reached heaven on
earth in the hospital at Washington.
! Capt French followed with an adj
| dress full of optimism and good
cheer and then introduced Col. Pin
| gree who was received with much en-
thusiasm. Col. Pingree contrasted
the days of 81 with the days of 1920,
particularly in the line of invention
and when he denounced the subma-
! rine as a means of warfare that
would never be tolerated again the
veterans heartily cheered. Col. Pin
gree said he had missed but one of
the "a reunions and the last one
was always the best.
DR.. Henry C. Newell expressed
great pleasure at being with the
comrades once more and said that the
older he grew the more he enjoyed
his friends. He said he had one of
the best outlooks for the future in
good wife and rood home and the
assurance that he would be we'll
cared for as long as he lived.
Harvey Powers of Lyndonville
spoke of seeing today II of the vet
Grams that he saw on the st. Johns
bury Fair Ground when they enlisted
under Gov Fairbanks in 1861. The
two newspaper men nresent, Arthur
F. Stone and Charles T. Walter
were called upon by the commander
and both expressed their pleasure at
being honorary members of such a
worthy organization. Comrades Du-
bois and Arnold were the last speak
ers after which there was a general
exchange of greetings until the de-
parture of the late afternoon trains.
