Lt. Julie Leslie, now with the Air Transport Command in the India-China Division, writes that he is doing adjutant's work at a field in India Tom Von Tacky's daughter is a lovely blonde and even at ten months seems to be intent on making men's hearts palpitate, mostly her father's. Tom's company, Hope's Windows, Inc., recently received the Army-Navy E George Vennum's duties as disbursing officer at Camp Ritchie, Md., keep him on the go, yet he didn't have trouble finding enough time to get married recently. We'll probably get the details later. .... Fred Vogt is now cracking the books at M.I.T. on a tough Radar work-out Although Dave Pearsall has been out of the States most of the time during the last six or seven years, his interest in Dartmouth affairs appears to have increased, if anything. At present, Dave is vice-consul at the American Embassy in Panama. He's seen several '38s lately, Tesreau at Santiago, Chile, Becker in Panama, and Stan Brown, also at the Chilean Embassy. Dave's new daughter Pamela-Lee Anne was born in August. Dave is planning that she attend Carnival around 1961-62.

Don Ross is with the Naval Hospital at Norfolk, Va., now, having left the "Terry" and returned to the States last October. He was senior medical officer at a Radio School for awhile, but finds hospital duty much more interesting. He saw Ed Smith and Brad Varnum recently in New York, all gory details omitted. The latter two had just returned from Europe a week after Don returned from the Pacific. Don McKinlay has also been seen at Norfolk in the last couple of months Bill McNight is a new ensign.....

GeorgeSnyder sent from his ship on patrol duty in the Atlantic Lorine S. Schultz writes that Lt. Harry Schultz can be reached at 1569 Krieg Offlag 64 Germany, U. S. Prisoner-ofWar, via N. Y. His recent letter to his sister shows a deep appreciation of letters received "from Father Sliney and many of my classmates. Please tell them that their letters mean a great deal to me here and I'll never be able to thank them enough for their thoughtfulness. " Let's pile a lot of letters over to Harry! .'...News of Bob Ross's and John Doukas' promotion to captaincy has been received. ....Heck Tweed would like to hear from a few of the boys and they don't have to be Dekes necessarily. He's located at 40 Gillis Rd., Hamden, Conn., and has been laid up for over a year now. It isn't much fun especially after being in a very active sales territory, Manhattan, for a live-wire outfit like Gulf Oil. Heck and Jane's boy is now four years old and is ready to move on to a new size hockey stick and skates A most interesting letter from Phil Johnson, enterpris ing vice president, treasurer of the Bank of Fairbanks, Alaska, assets $3,000,000, is calculated to move the pioneering instincts in even the most staid and conservative classmate. Phil's daughter is now three and a half, but his son is only several months old. They have been living with Betty at Council Bluff's, lowa. Phil writes, ."I am hopeful that I can find a place to live in shortly after the first of the year. The housing in Fairbanks is abysmal with most of the houses being log cabins and no municipal water system. There is lots of money in this country, however, and long-time prospects look good to me. It gets down-right cold, however, and has been down to 58° below zero earlier this year. The hunting is different from that in Southeastern Alaska or in New England, but is only middling fair in most lines. There are lots of caribou and moose, but no deer and very few ducks, as most of them go south before the season opens. I have killed about 150 ptarmigan this fall and quite a few spruce hens. There is quite an active group of skiers here." .... Roger Cheney is now a first lieutenant. Dorothy Cochrane writes that Capt. Steve is out in the Pacific with the Marine Corps. The Captain is now a company commander Lt. "Pat" Patterson, the old American Airliner, is quite anxious about the big Reunion. He's getting himself in shape for it already.
