Bumped into Ed Scovner and wife while fighting a New York lunch hour mob last month. Ed is connected with the advertising world and seems quite content with his present status.
By luck, I ran into Ernie Greenebaum. He's been offered a teaching fellowship at Brown University. However, Ernie plans to serve in the 6-month active duty program, and then follow up with his fellowship.
Last time I heard from Ron MacKenzie, he was fleeing the country. After an extensive investigation, the Army decided Ron's hockey playing would have to be curbed before the budget got too bulky from flying him to all the service games. Pentagon sources say Ron is the hottest thing on ice since Cordie Howe. He scored five goals, high-sticked, decked players all over the ice in the final game of the season. In his spare time Ron keeps busy guarding an atomic energy plant somewhere in the frontier of Georgia.

Pvt. Martin Rosenthal is en route to Germany as part of "Operation Gyroscope," the Army's unit rotation plan. A driver in the 32nd Transportation Company, he entered Uncle Sam's group last August.
Sandy Heath gets the Oscar for this month. Why? He wrote a letter. Sandy got engaged over New Year's to Sue Redington, a sophomore at Goucher College in Baltimore. Provided Uncle Sam doesn't intervene, they'll get hitched in September. The Army has been pretty good to this '56 — just listen. He's stationed only 22 miles from home and will be there for two years. Sandy's job is specialist under the group heading, Neuro-psychiatric Tech. This happens to be a fancy name for corpsman on a mental ward. His work makes up a 40-hour week, so things look pretty special for Mr. Heath. Here's his address for all those with available pens: Pvt. D. Heath, U.S. 52424051, Valley Forge Army Hospital 9963, Phoenixville, Pa.
