1958

Received a letter from a young lady the other day - wife of a '58 surprisingly enough — in which she said she has a real knack for gossip and would just love to take over my job. Well, I cringed at the thought at first but on second glance it doesn't sound so bad. This gal could actually tell me, on the basis of several '58s' past records, whether they'd reformed, grown worse, or stayed about the same since they left Hanover. Great fun. Well, whether or not I think this column needs a little more meat, there's little time to think about it now. Got a lot of news this month among which I found a blooming number of weddings; many '58s going the way of all flesh.

Y.; Walt Vail and Mary Barr of Newton Center, Mass.; Doug Smith and Eleanor Becker of Hanover; Owen Johnson and Sara Thomas of Sandwich, Mass.; Sam Fineberg and Naomi Schwartz of Bridgeport, Conn.

Dave Cassidy and Corrinne Massa of East Brunswick, N. J., in which Bruce Blackwell was best man and Bob Rudolph ushered. Dave's with the Army right now in Fort McClellan, Ala.

A few engagement notices should wipe that slate clean for a little while: Carey Rhoten and Sara Crew of River Forest, Ill., Carey's with B. F. Goodrich in Chicago.

Norm Sylvester was seen heading for the South Pacific on a yacht last we heard. Dave and Barb Sharrock now live in Cincinnati where Dave's working with the Merrill Company after finishing a service stint. Gersh Abraham just took up arms but should be out by Turkey Day I'm told. Seems like a pretty short six months.

A son born to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Thompson in Mexico City on September 11.

Well, I've had enough. Let's call it a month.
