1936

Ren Ostrom, who by his own admission "still works eight hours a day in the salt mines and spends the other 12 at home with a crabby wife and four yelling kids," sent us one of his periodic west coast round-ups. To bring you the full flavor of Ren's reports—and yet spare ourselves from libel suits—we quote Ren directly:

"Bill Essex is still with occupation forces in Germany but has been joined by wife and two children. Understand he drinks nothing but champagne and lives in a castle over 8,092 years old! .... ChuckVenrick has been transferred to the glorious West Coast, but unfortunately to the middle of it. He lives in Piedmont—near Oakland which is near San Francisco which is 400 miles north of Los Angeles which is near La Canada where I live. We see each other often and Chuck, wife Louisa and daughter Betty are confirmed Westerners. Chuck is west coast manager for the American Locomotive Company. .... Bill Klingaman is finally getting married to a Baltimore lass—or at least he sent out invites to gather graft Joe Whitney has moved to La Canada where he is owner of a grand and glorious restaurant. Really a spot with fine eats but no liquor, so you wouldn't be interested Bob Morris is still lawing and politic-ing, though I believe his main source of revenue is derived from his poker at which he excells."

Hugh Chase recently returned from the American Zone in Germany, after two years there as an assistant Field Director, American Red Cross Dr. Tom Monagan has settled in Waterbury, with Mrs. M. and three children. He has had a pediatric practice there since July.

From Stu Mac Mackin: "I have one wife (1942); one daughter (1944); one-tenth of a house (1946); one dog (1947). Spend time admiring my wife, being amazed at my daughter, painting the house, cleaning up after the dog. I also work in the Law Department of General Electric in Schenectady, where I worry about such things as what does the Taft-Hartley Bill mean, and how to protect poor little corporations against big bad working men. I don't make as much as a bricklayer, but I have more fun."
