SERVICE SCENERY ... While our numbers in khaki and blue have diminished considerably in the past two years, we maintain a number of Navy lads around the globe, as well as occasional Army and Air Force devotees. Yes, and the Marines still claim a couple of Injuns, though we don't have any very late info on them at this juncture. Afloat is Al Harquail, mashing molars on the USSCascades. Lt. Bill Williams continues in the dolphin branch and now serves on the USSToro (SS 422) and lives in Groton, Conn.

Had a good letter from Ted Lawton reporting his activities over the past half-decade as consisting of law school and the U. S. Marines. He, Peg, and sons Ed, 3, and Dave, 1, are back in Youngstown where daddy expects to practice. Ted says Chuck Little is still in the leatherneck brigade in Holland and boasts a family of two children. Dick Halstead also has a couple of offspring. Looks like it really does take two to tango!
INKADENTAL INTELLIGENTZ ... Also received news of Wes Carr, who covers western Tennessee, Arkansas, and northern Mississippi for Westinghouse. Wes and wife Betty live in Memphis, will play golf anywhere in his territory, and would like to find some other staunch advocates of '50 to help defend the honor of the class against a couple of our seniors.
Many of you around Gotham are aware of the Downtowners' meetings the third Wednesday of each month, but attendance at the February conclave belied general knowledge.

Hope more of you will be able to drop down to the Seaman's Institute April 18.
We may have good news for John Wulp if all goes well. Robert Whitehead has taken option on a script by John, according to a February news clip, so be sure to buy tickets for The Summers Treason if you have a chance.

In Tine with always providing pertinent poop for papas in tough straits, we have for you the names of myriad doctors, lawyers, and merchants this month.

Further west, bear in mind Bill Ziegler in Cleveland, Dave Bull with Wilson & Mcllvaine in Chicago, and Tom Cornwall of Cornwall & Cornwall in Spencer, la. On the far coast, BillMilliken is with Parker, Milliken, & Kohlmeier in L. A. and John Hetherington is taking postgrad law at Cal.
