have not yet been able to get the Oct '67
Almanac & none of the Stanford people here
have it. If you are thru with your copy
I would be pleased to have it.

Regarding Evan Wentz – I lived on
opposite end of Encina & was concerned with the
fellows in the area where chimney fell through
One fellow, [Hanna?], was killed there.

As I remember the Wentz episode – He
figured if he could get on the roof that his
chances would be a lot better. His hold on the
gutter was his first effort in that direction.
I thnk no one man could be the "hero", for
as I remember, his perdicament was seen
by those getting out of the back door on that end
of the hall. Some staid right there and
encouraged Wentz to hold on and that boys
were on their way up to help him. My
recollection is that R. U. Fitting {caret: '1906 – Elec Eng."} was one of
the first to get to his room. If he was not the
one who got hold of Wentz, I think, if he is still
alive, can clear it all up. His son – R. U. Jr – 1932 might recall his fathers story about it.

I met Jacobson in 1941 when we were at the
50th Reunion & he invited us along with Jack & Gretchen
to go to the President's Luncheon. I have had no word
from Jacobson, so if you wish, you can pass this
along to him in your own way. Love to you both. Nick
