At this writing, the Big News is Reunion. It will still be Big News when you read this, providing you don't shelve this issue until after the News becomes History.

Do you want to know whom you'll be seeing in Hanover? We wish we could answer "the whole gang" and let it go at that. Butlet's get down to cases and run down the list, as of the first week in May.

Ted Whitmore and wife, Bob MacPherson and wife, Brad Chase and wife, Ray Reitman and wife, Tommy Thomas and wife, BobDensmore and wife, Don Robbins and wife, Charlie Lehman and wife, Hesty Hirst, CliffPorter and wife, Don Sutherland and wife, Harry Lowd and wife, Dick Treadxvay and wife, Vin Wentworth and wife, Len Mead,John O'Connell and wife, Clark Sorenson and wife, Joe Davis, Tom Parker and wife, DickStowell and wife, Dan Schwartz and wife, BillGarlick, Len Florsheim and wife (all the way from Chicago!), Al Momenee and wife, Tommy Thompson and wife, Herm Nunnemacher and wife (trekking up from Milwaukee), Ed Nilsson and wife, Bill Macurda and wife.

It's a regular peerade: Stoney Jackson, BillLee and wife, Dave Fox and wife, Dick Morton and wife, Pete Fitzherbert and wife, ArtLevin and wife, Ray Builter and wife, BudHorn and wife, Leo Levitt and wife, DickKnight and wife, Ed Higbee and wife, SteveStotzer and wife (another representative from Milwaukee!), Frank Weston, Bill Ferguson and wife, Joe Smith and wife, Bob Prentice and wife, Merrill Teulon and wife, DuneNewell and wife, Jack Smith and wife.

And don't forget the Committee: Chairman Bill McNulty and wife, Chuck Sims and wife, Dick Dorrance, Frank Kappler and wife, JackMorrison and wife, Paul Lynch and wife, EdChamberlain and wife, Norb Hofman and wife.

In the "uncertain" category (we hope not for long) are: Art Davidson, Ed Dreschsel (who may be able to schedule a trip from the West Coast to coincide with Hanover-time), Pug Goldthwait, Frank Curtis, Pep Mintz (who would like to run up from Kansas City), Bud Titcomb, Al Butler and George Beyer.

It is significant to note that the most frequently given reason for absence at the Fabulous Fifteenth is the impending visit of the stork. He'll be an extra-busy bird—even if the only June business he gets were to come from '36. Of course, geography plays its part, too. As does the little matter of bread-winning. Ren Ostrom, out in California, sums up his plight admirably, and perhaps typically: "Too far, too busy, too many kids too small, too little money, too damn bad."

If we were of the Drew Pearson ilk, we'd predict that many of you guys and gals will be able to swing the trip at the very last min- ute. That will be fine. You* can rest assured that your money is good, the weather will be bright, the beer cool, the water wet, the beds comfy, the voices strong, the baseball soft, the steak ditto, the gang congenial, the clothes informal,—all adding up to a truly Fabulous Fifteenth. We'll be seeing you!
