This news gathering business, like most other businesses, is a matter of feast or famine.

Can't seem to keep Class Agent Bob Russell out of the notes. This time he's chairman of the 1956 Christmas seals sale in Ulster County, N. Y. Associated duties include membership on the board of directors of the Ulster County TB & Health Assn.. vice-presidency of the Saugerties Lions Club, board of directors of the Ulster County Branch of the American Red Cross and trustee of the Village of Saugerties. There are more, but the newspaper must be feeling the shortage of space. What's more, Bob set a new record for the Class as Class Agent for the 1956 Alumni Fund.
