I was Extremely surprised, but
very thrilled, to learn today that
I’ve received the $100 Elisha Parmele
Scholarship for the 1944-1945 Session
at W&M. It’s awarded so they say
to the highest ranking member of
the Junior class taking an AB
degree. It’s especially thrilling since
I didn’t work for it, and actually
had no idea I was in line for any-
thing like that. The honor is quite
wonderful. I must have a fairy
godmother lurking in the shadows!
I met Mother and Dad for
dinner at the New Yorker to celebrate.
