W. Armstrong Perry, Harvard student from 1904 to 1907, didn't show up for the annual Washington Harvard Club dinner, but John H. Pratt '30, secretary, accepted his excuse. Perry was marooned in a Venezuelan jungle with a wrecked aeroplane and no food.
Sitting under the overturned plane, which was only good "to hang my hammock on," Perry dreamed of the food at the dinner while three other passengers wandered off in search of water and never came back, according to a letter from him recently published in the Alumni Bulletin.
