Herewith is a reporting of those summer nuptials involving 1922 progeny about which I have been informed. No doubt there were others and I should like information about them for reporting.

Early in June I received a note from FrankHoran expressing his regret that the only boat reservations available were for June 13 sailing, thus preventing his attendance at reunion. Frank, Betty and the three children had their trip mapped out to provide for three weeks at a country club just outside Dublin followed by two and a half weeks of motor touring around the coast of Ireland.
Hanover visitors during the late spring and the summer, too early or too late for reunion, who put up at the Inn were: John Wood,Pete Kiewit, the Frank Hutchins, the BobDeweys, the Duke Vosburghs, the Kitty Kattwinkels with their two sons and the Rus Bartons with their two sons.

In May, Chuck Canfield was elected president of the Paper Association of New York City.
I have learned only recently that Kip Orr has spent considerable time at the hospital in Hanover during the past year. Unfortunately, it was unknown to any of us that he was in Dick's House at the time of our reunion. With the summer closing of Dick's House at the end of June, Kip moved to a convalescent home in Enfield.
Since February, 1950, Ralph Totman has been stationed with the Alaskan Air Command at the Elmendorf Air Force Base. A colonel, Ralph is in the Office of Command Judge Advocate.
Recently I had a 'phone visit with JohnBrouier who called on his way through Boston to New York. From reunion Jack drove to Prince Edward Island for a vacation with his sister. An accident on the road damaged his car enough to make it necessary to prolong the vacation a couple of weeks. After a day or two in New York, Jack expected to return to Toronto and resume his practice as a Chartered Accountant.
Mike Adams is off on another foreign project. Engaged upon the New Jersey turnpike construction until last May, his firm then sent Mike to superintend a two-year program in Casablanca, French Morocco. After the children are distributed to their schools in the fall, Ralph Jr. to Dartmouth, Mary to Northfield and Pete to a New England preparatory school, then Laura will join Mike at his new base of operations.
