This is going to be disorganized. Time's a wastin' and we're already over the deadline.
Jack Mahoney, fresh out of the Air Force, is starting an Orthopedic Surgical Residency at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center this month. The Lloyd Krumms became the proud parents of a son, Randolph Lloyd, on January 22. Lloyd is still selling for International Paper Co., and working out of New York. They are living at 278 Glen Ave., Glen Rock, N. J. On March 24, Barbara and Bobo Russell added another prospective '76er to the ranks, who goes by the monicker of Robert Snyder Jr. Bob is up to his neck in politics, busy as the devil manufacturing Sterling loose leaf and blank books, and is running our Alumni Fund junket again this year. Have a heart. New Baby — No Sleep. Send in your dough right away and take one load off his mind.
John Anderson was scheduled to participate in Exercise Surf Board, a joint Army-Navy tactical and amphibious warfare training exercise along the West Coast.

Got a real nice letter, just today, from DickGreene who reported contacting a real bevy of those of you who are concentrated around Boston's Hub. The purpose is to get together from time to time for a luncheon meeting and the first one, with very little advance notice, brought out five. The reaction was so good, however, that future prospects are excellent. Present were Dick, Walt Palmunen,Dick Leggat, Wall Cairns and Don Gilmore. Walt P. is in the Comptroller's Dept., Cost Accounting Division, of the National Shawmut Bank, in Boston. Dick Leggat is with the law firm of Bingham, Dana, and Gould of Boston. Walt Cairns is a Staff Member of Arthur D. Little Co., in Cambridge. Don Gilmore is head of the Industrial Research Section of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Dick also reports that he saw Autty Knight at the Alumni Fund kick-off dinner in Boston.
Further contacts brought word that JohnBoggia, who is in GM's labor relations office at the Framingham, Mass., plant, is in the process of completing a home in Lexington on which he and his wife have done much of the work. They expect to be in by mid-year. John has been with GM since 1949.
Foster De Giacomo is a student engineer with Raytheon located in Bedford, Mass. Back in March, while on a jaunt to New York, the secretary made connections with JohnHatheway and Jim Schaefer after a great deal of planning, arranging and re-arranging. The rendezvous was finally made at nearly midnight and lasted into the wee hours. Not able to attend was Tom Baldwin, who was in town from Omaha, and we had a cup of breakfast coffee together after tripping over each other in the hotel.
Later in March we had occasion to be in Tampa overnight on another business jaunt and looked in on Dotty and Howie Hilton. After we had decided that none of us looked a bit different except a little more debauched and child-worn, we had a wonderful, evening together at dinner and Jai-Alai. What was more thrilling, we took away twenty bucks- plus a piece from the match. Howie is advertising manager for Maas Bros., a real department store institution in that part of the world. Dotty keeps herself occupied with Chip, 5, Rod,3½ and Leslie, 1. Howie said that he just missed reunion last year by a week in having to be in New York just too early to make it.
At the end of the same week, we flew back from Miami on Friday and took in the Glee Club concert in Chicago with Jimmy and Johnny and Grace Fenno, all of whom had come in for the doings from Niles. For the occasion, the Chicago Club had bought out the Terrace Room of the Morrison which gave a real gala air to the show and got away from the high school stage angle. As you who saw the concert in other cities on the tour will agree, I know, it was excellent, just as it was on TV.
There we ran into Ken and Jean Saunders who are back in Chicago from Detroit. The Ev Wilsons were very much in evidence. BeechLockwood was squiring a very nice doll. These six had a very fine ringside table from which they were serving only the finest of hooch. Up a row or two were the Don Ryans. And the people we were most surprised to see were Sumner and B. J. Sollitt. It seems that they've been back from Puerto Rico for over a year and are living at 1024 Golf View Road in Glenview, Ill. As I recall, I reported not very long ago that they were back in P.R. again. At any rate, they are expecting young Sollitt #4 in the early summer. Also at the concert, which turned into a very enjoyable dance! were the Bill Pendills.
Well, there it is, for good or bad. Send in more and we'll see if we can't do better.
