Bill Mauran manages to spend several days at the Hanover Inn every month as he goes through on business Butch Nichols was recently interviewed by his hometown newspaper upon his teturn from the service. His berth as head of the History Department at Gilbert High in Winstead, Conn., "seems like paradise," said Dave. He's seen active service in New Guinea, the Philippines and Japan. Butch's views on the general world situation according to the Winstead Citizen is that the common solution of world problems is with the U.N.O. He believes much can be done through education and seeing how the other half lives. The crowded condition of Japan with 75,000,000 people in a small area demands an answer and territorial expansion must arise. Butch summed it up: "We must recognize the problems of the defeated as well as those of ourselves and our allies." .... Major Bill Geraghty got over to Hanover from Ticonderoga. Also Lt. Comdr. and Mrs. DougButnam spent a few days at the Inn in Hanover in late January Dayton Morgan was recently transferred from the Fiscal Division at the Springfield Arsenal to Fort Devens for terminal leave and discharge.

Bob is attending the George Washington University School of Government in Washington. "It seems like a good set-up and I enjoy it although I sometimes feel my extreme age when I look at some of the applecheeked sophomores. When I applied for my marriage license, I felt a little foolish giving my occupation as 'student'; it sounded like retarded development and I'm not too sure it isn't. At present my life consists of three hours each week of Asiatic Geography, Developments of Nationalism, Far Eastern Contemporary Politics, and Chinese. The latter staggers me occasionally but gets to be less involved and complex every lesson."
