I was in communication with him during June, with respect to a prize which he planned to offer for the best article that might be written by a young member, about the great days of the seventies of the eighties, or about a leading amateur journalist of that period. He acceded to my suggestion that I talk the matter over at Philadelphia before the plan was made definite; and I was to communicate the outcome to him. The news of his death in the form of a long clipping from the Herald-Tribune of July 1, forwarded by Mrs. McDonald, came as a great shock. I have known Mr. Heuman since the New York convention of 1908. He took a kind interest in me and showed me many favors which I have never forgotten. Though I could not share is point of view with respect to the purging of the National of all but youth, I appreciated the fact that his motives were sincere and that he acted solely for what he considered the benefit of the association which he had founded and cherished. In time his view became much modified, and he appreciated the fact that as the years went on, the National must necessarily change. I was his guest at dinner at at several Reunions of The Fossils, and his earnestness and sincerity deeply impressed me. He always responded to calls for aid for the National Amateur Press Association. Whenever an emergency drive was instituted, he contributed generously. He was among the first to respond to the appeal in 1937 and wrote that he wished only that he might give more. Failing health has kept him from most of the recent Reunions of The Fossils. I remember well his last appearance, in 1938. His attendance went far toward healing an unfortunate breach that had well nigh destroyed the organization, to which he had given of his wealth and his energy
