The Hitching Post
Reference to April's "past tense now?" on Gerry Sarno, affirmatory, and it's Ensign now, still! On March 15 Gerry married Virginia Elizabeth Murphy in St. Theresa's Church in North Reading, Mass., and the couple headed for sunny California to honeymoon. Best man at the ceremony was brother Joe Sarno and Jim Lyons was in the traffic directing crew. Since the couple will set up house in Hingham it's hard to say whether or not they were headed West to pick up a ship for the groom, but we can say this affair adds another Colby Junior to the family. Inkadentally, Jim is with the Quartermaster Corps testing specialized equipment for the extreme temperatures at Mt. Washington. He is assigned to the 9135th Technical Service Unit at Fort Lee, Va. You explain how he got up into Northern New Hampshire.
The other matrimonial matter concerns Phil Hoadley and Phyllis Maureen Idle who spliced the knot in the Little Church Around the Corner February 21. Phyllis attended the Columbia University School of General Studies. Phil's public relating for National City Bank in the concrete jungle of NYC.

Bumped into Lt. Jack Coffman looking mighty fit in his Marine greens at the O-club in Norfolk. He was on his way to take over a detachment of gyrenes (oooh, is that a naughty word?) on the U.S.S.
