October 2, 1929 May 12, 1946 STUART GUY NUSS “In perfect honour, perfect truth, And gentleness to all mankind, You trod the golden paths of youth, Then left the world and youth behind, Ah, no! ’tis we who fade and fail— And you, from Time’s slow torments free, Shall pass from strength to strength and scale, The steeps of immortality.” By John Buchan Fratri Delectissimo”
