Pdooring" ceremony held by their Ghanaian friends
for daughter Noel Fitzgerald. This ceremony is an
elaborate prayer for the blessing of the family and
the ne%vborn infant occurring exactly one week
after birth—April 24, 1963. The rites end with
each person coming forward and dropping a fciv
shillings on a plate for the ncu- child. By virtue
of the gift, the donor not only has a right but a
duty to watch over the child's welfare for the rest
of her life. Bill is parish choir director for his

of Ghanaians, British, Americans and some Chinese

COL. MIZE MORRIS '40
A Popular Joe in Mexico, Mo.
Mizc Morris recently received unique
honors from his home town of Mexico,
Missouri.
For the past 15 years Mize has been
active in the Mexico Chamber of Com­
for the coaches' meeting last January. Mike is
with the U. of Nebraska coaching staff. They
must be doing the job. They started with a good
win over Minnesota. Mike :Uso saw JOHN HAN-
NIGAN in Philly. "Punch" is chief metallurgist
for .Man ^Vood Steel Co. Saegert also saw LARRY
DEVEREUX in Chicago, Larry's wife is expecting
her eighth child. No excuse for Larr>- not to be at
the reunion with all the superhighways from
Chicago. In '60 I rode back to Chi uith Larr>and
will e,xpcct the same ride in *65. Also probably
in the car will be the incomparable DON
GILLILAND, whom Gcrr>- saw in Tulsa. Chub has
been with several of the stale insurance commission
offices. .Mso in Tulsa, Saegert saw GERRY
DONOVAN and his family and met T. D. SAFFA
at a local ND communion breakfast. Gerry's
daughter had just graduated from St. Mary's.
Saegert saw HANK DOWD, BUD O'DONNELL
and JOE DE FRANCO at our local golf outing
here in June. Had a note from BOB HOWARD
down Virginia way; Bob is the executive secretary
for the Medical Society of Virginia. He is looking
forward to seeing or hearing from JOHN GOR­
DON. Have a good questionnaire from ED KELLY,
ricc-pres. with Bankers Life and Casualty Co. Ed
is married and has two children, Mike. 9. and
Maureen. 6. He recently saw RED BOWLER,
^vhose son is a frosh at ND this year. Ilal is
moving back to Chicago momentarily from Jersey.
Imagine anyone giving up the Garden State.
Pindar, Kelly (John) ct al., take note. Ed mentions
that JOHN WARD has just reentered prix-ate
law practice in Waukegan, III. Ed is also looking
for a few '40-ttcs after a football game. Have a
brief questionnaire (it's.hard to fill a column with
cold-statistics) from TOM McCABE right here on
Long Island. Tom is married and has two daugh-
- ters. He is with the Long Island Lighting Co. and
would like to hear from ANDY GANNON and
ED O'DONNELL. See them at the reunion! Also
a brief note from JOE HENNESSY in River Forest,
111. Joe is an architect and has two sons and a
daughter. Forgot to mention Saegert had a fine
iieekend in Ch'icaso with TOM FLAD and Eileen.
Tom would like to hear from BOB LAMBERT,
who I'm sure is still here in NY after moring
from Chicago. See him at the reunion, Bob. In
looking thru the '40 Dome to coordinate a few
names and faces, I happened on one fuil-page
picture of BUD KERR in his All-Amcrican sweater.
merce as its president and executive vicc«
president. Recently he annotmced a decision
to move from Mexico to Apple Valley,
California, where he will be in the real*
estate business.
A grateful Mexico, keenly aware of his
many civic contributions, paid him the following
honors after the announcement of
his decision to leave:
The City Council passed a special resolution
expressing gratitude for his continued
contribution to a better community,
Missouri Military Academy, from which
he ^va5 graduated in 1936, held a special
parade and review in his honor.
The Chamber of Commerce gave a banquet
at the Mexico Country Club attended
by more than 170 people. At the banquet
Mize was presented with a handsome
plaque from the citizens of Mexico thanking
him for his sen'ice to the commimity.
And the publisher of the Mexico Evening
Ledger^ Robert M. White II, was the principal
speaker.
White's speech not only paid tribute to
Mize but to his brother, the late Major Fred
Locke Morris, who was graduated from
Notre Dame in 1936. White also pointed
out that Morris brothers' great grandfather
built the first house in Mexico in 1836.
"Since that time the Morris name has been
associated with almost every progressive step
taken in Mexico," he said.
Among the guests at the banquet were
several Notre Dame men, including Harold
V. Pohhneyer '33, Lowell L. Hagan '34,
Norvall M. Hunthausen '40 and Tim Hagan
'59.
Saegert had received a letter from Bud only a
few days before h£s fatal heart attack. It was
quite a shock. Bud has been out of football and in
the hotel business in San Francisco these past few
years. Remember him in your prayers. Start
thinking and planning and saving for June, 1965!

Good autumn and winter to you of '41.
Today's (Sept. 27) wonderful showing in the
football game wth Wisconsin gave your balding
correspondent the incentive and initiative to
scribble some items about your classmates. You
will recall that in the August-Sept. '63 issue our
reunion fund stood at $1902.30. Since then the
amount has increased slightly to $1942^0. Heard
from were: OSCAR HASTENS, $20; BERNIE
NEWMANN, $10; and BILL HOYNE, $10. Thanks
men; ever>- little bit helps. Again I ask anybody
to %vrite if he has an idea of what would be an
appropriate souvenir to give to the Class returning
for the 25th Reunion only 18 months away by the
time you read this. Otherwise your secretary will
ask some of our Class located around the Metropolitan
area to assist him In selecting something
for our silver meeting.
