DescriptionAt the last meeting of the Royal Society Club he informed members of Boys' inability to attend during the blackout, and probably for all future dinners. The news was greeted with regret and the feeling was that dinners would not be the same without him. He hopes that Boys' expectation is false, and they would not in any event remove his name from the membership list.
