A letter from Vail Haak down in Atlanta announces that business commitments, in which he has to travel such a vast area, force him to submit his resignation for this spring's class agent position. His successor will be announced soon. We're sorry to see that Vail must retire as he did a fine job filling in when Johnny Stockwell had to take a leave.
Harvey Nolan called to check on whether I intended to hit the Yale game, but as of this writing I don't. My annual trek to Cambridge will probably be my only attendance, plus, of course, last week's TV appearance. At the Harvard game I'll be there with a gang which, as of now, consists of Art andBetty Wallace, Summy and Nonie Arneson,Bert and Sue Rodman, Tom and Ann Swartz, and Rocket and Barbara Reed. I'm sure there'll be many others there, but more on that later.
A letter from Paul Woodbury from way out in Malaya, which he was just leaving to report to Westover Field, Mass., via India, Fortress Europa, etc. Paul's in the Air Force and bumped into both Dave Vogels and Brayt Meyer in Japan. Brayt was a purchasing officer in Korea and was also happy to be on his way home. Paul hopes to see me at any of several football games this fall.
A letter from Pete New out in Columbia, Mo., in June, when he had just received his A.M. degree in sociology and anthropology. Pete does more traveling than any other three guys I know. In May he was in Chicago with El Baritz (there on business) and Reed andMrs. Parker. Reed got back from Europe (SHAPE) in March and is now a security analyst with Harris Trust. He and wife Kay are living in northside Chicago. El told Pete about the Russ Blackwoods who live in Greenwich Village while Russ is on a fellowship at Columbia. Pete himself enters Michigan this fall on a Metropolitan Community Seminar Research Fellowship, which means a study in Flint, Mich., with time to work on his Ph.D. thesis and to take some public health courses. Pete was reading up on osteopathy at Kirksville School of Osteopathy in Missouri and noticed that Gordon Parsons was a third-year student there.
