1932*

Week-end navigators might profit by a visit to Provincetown, Mass., where Charlie Mayo holds forth the summer long in the sailing vessel Chantey, plying in and out of that historic harbor. Winters the Mayos set sail to the south, touching at Florida and the more exotic of the West Indian Isles. Last year it was Grand Cayman. This year it may be a trip to deep Caribbean waters, in search of marine specimens. Charlie has a fine admixture of maritime and literary anecdotes. His welcome is hearty for '32s like your scribe who happen by when the Chantey is in port. He recalled seeing Bob Mattox and several others whose names slip me at the moment. Also hears occasionally from John Nutter in Radio City Music Hall and from Lou Krone, who doggedly farms New Hampshire acres up Orford way.

Discussion of agriculture leads naturally to Jud Covell, who tractors acres at Brandy, near Culpeper, Virginia, where he raises wheat, rye, and a couple of fine youngsters.

Mike Cardozo is staying on for the present in Washington, having been transferred from another government agency to the SEC. He lives at 203 N. Trenton St., Arlington, Va. A recent addition to the Washington legal corps is John Iliff, who has shelved the Illinois bar for offices at 1527 K St., N. W. Bob Ackerberg, who continues to defend Windy City justice, was married Sept. 1 to Geraldine Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel B. Starrett Jr., of Evanston, Ill.

Numbered in the summer globe-trotting contingent was Shel Reed, who landed in Sweden for a Scandinavian bike trip to be followed by travel through Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, France, and the British Isles. In Edinburgh, Dr. Reed (Harvard Ph.D. 1935) was scheduled to deliver two papers before the International Congress of Genetics. Shel holds a lectureship at McGill, where he is doing research work under the Rockefeller Foundation.

Another itinerant was Dick Hazen, who tapped the local water supply in Venezuela.

And, of course, Walser, whose last ten postcards (since May) have cleared Stockholm, London, White Sulphur Springs, Bermuda, Jamaica, Canal Zone, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Sitka (Alaska), and Vancouver.

Buzz Burrows now lives in Upper Montclair, N. J., and works in New York as sales manager of the Siren Mills Division of Lamont-Corliss Co. Jack Hamel is with the Beacon Milling Co. at Cayuga, N. Y. Bob House is a salesman in Washington for Victor Adding Machines, 1st Lieut. Hank Greenleaf has been transferred from Washington to the Station Hospital at Fort Leavenworth, Texas. Ken Kennett is a Ford dealer in Newport, Washington, while Forrest Fraser peddles rival Chevrolets in Norwood, Ohio.

After a June marriage to Christina Macdonald Carlyle, of West Roxbury, Mass., Tom Dublin is practicing medicine in New York. Ben Read, entering a final year's residency in obstetrics at Lincoln Hospital, gave birth to a new car on a recent Atlanta vacation visit. Herb Friedman spent at Hanover a week off from his duties at the Presbyterian Hospital.

George Hahn reports that Dean Pinney was married in Auburn, N. Y. in the late spring to a Cornell medical graduate. Further details missing. George left Cornell's Department of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine in July to become resident fellow in malignant diseases at the American Oncologic (Tumor) Hospital in Philadelphia, an institution associated with the University of Pennsylvania. He would like some news about Hank Douglass, Art Blais or Julian Hobson, and so would we.

Irv Kramer hasn't settled down yet to write the life of a suburban doctor, but he did find time this summer to sweep the field in the Great Neck Park Tennis Tournament, in which he was not even a seeded player.

Down at last from Mt. Washington's summit, Al McKenzie is working in Boston as a radio engineer for the Yankee Network. Walt Langley is a salesman in Binghamton, N. Y. Ed Cummings is with the Curtis Insurance Agency in Derry, N. H. Jack Downs is an employment supervisor with Pratt & Whitney Aircraft in East Hartford, Conn.

Sears Roebuck claims Hen Kingdon, manager of an Atlanta store, and Don S. Simpson, who fills a similar job in Burlington, Vt. Ben Burch is employed by Ford, Bacon & Davis, and lives in Englewood, N. J. Cap Ireys has shelved Buffalo for Chicago, leaving the local ski trails clear for Reuel Denney. Reuel and his wife when last seen in Buffalo this spring were open to conviction about coming to New York for the Fair, but haven't yet put in an appearance.

One up-stater made the trip to the Big City—John Keller, who came down in August on vacation from Cuba, N. Y. and the Bradford Oil Co. Did he want to see the Fair? Yes, he thought he'd take that in. But his prime incentive was a look at the Yankees. John is nuts on the subject of baseball. In addition to being manager and shortstop of the Cuba nine, he is a virtual thesaurus of knowledge on all phases of the diamond game.

Jack Eames reports meeting Whit Daniels at the Hotel Heidelberg in Baton Rouge some months back. "As a result ofour meeting Whit found himself in thecompany of a group of Standard Oil (Esso)engineers. One was a Frenchman from oneof the foreign subsidiaries; he and Whithad a royal time picking out wines anddiscussing France in French." Din Hindes is in Corpus Christi, helping to dig Texas oil wells. Frank Westheimer recently authored an article in one of the chemical journals under the banner of the U. of Chicago.

"Visitors at the Southampton BeachClub" is the caption over a two column picture of Mr. and Mrs. George Pettengill 3d which appeared in the New York Times of July 17.

Max Wolff is promotion representative of Midwest Distributors in Baltimore. Al Young is working for the Fruit Dispatch Co. in New York and acting as home economist pro tem for the cooperative apartment house where he lives. Pierce Davis is an investigator for the General Public Loan Corp. in New York. Joe Slattery has left Dun & Bradstreet's Manhattan office for a new berth as report supervisor for the organization in New Orleans. Your correspondent has quit the publishing game for the present for a new job as director of the Division of Social and Cultural Adjustment of the National Refugee Service. This organization is set up to handle the problems of recent European emigres to the United States.

As a last flash we bring news of the wedding of Warren Moore to Nora Walsh of New York City, in St. Patrick's Cathedral, on Sept. 2. Hatcher and Hazen were present at the reception which followed.

Let's have your news of summer romance, adventure, offspring, etc.
