1953

The December ticker tape brings welcome news from many - it tells us that:

Tom Fraser has had the great honor of being called as pastor of the newly-organized Walbrook Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Md. Tom had previously served as assistant pastor at St. Augustine Presbyterian Church in New York City. In September 1953, Tom entered Union Theological Seminary, graduated in 1956 with his Bachelor of Divinity, and then went on to pursue work in religious political thought at Harvard University. He was graduated with a Master's in Sacred Theology in 1957. Congratulations from us all, Tom, and best wishes for continued success in your new, challenging work!

During the summer (Dr.) Ken Snell and Carol Scall of West Haven, Conn., took the title of Dr. and Mrs. They are making their home in Belmont, Mass. Ken graduated last June from the Boston University School of Medicine and is currently interning at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital.

The wedding list grows longer with news of Owen Cote's summer marriage to the former Ann Fulton of Belmont, Mass. Ann is a graduate of Newton College of The Sacred Heart. Owen is doing grad work at MIT and makes his new home in Cambridge.
