host of fsfriends. Among those who
were his warm personal friends he
could count those young business men
of his own age who had grown up
with him, who had gone to school with
linn, had Played with him, swan with
him, skated with him, showing that he
had been boy with them, youth to
a young man and that still holding
their friendship he was rounding into
middle life with them.
