1957

For those of you who read the first paragraph of this article only, this BMOC Award will come first. It goes to "Gaston," an olive owned by Don Cowlbeck. The personable olive lives in an Olivett, a machine designed by Don to introduce the stranger, an olive, to that exacting mixture of friendly ingredients that comprise a Martini. The Award does not go to Don because of his invention of the Olivett but to Gaston for lasting three and one-half years of being dunked in Martinis. For those who are interested, the Olivett is on sale at better stores everywhere.

The annual report of the West African segment of the Class has come in. John Berge is in Liberia right on the border of what used to be French Guinea. Except for suffering from hangover fever, a common tropical disease resulting from a visit to the largest city around, Monrovia, John is well. He also states, "No, I have not done any big game hunting. The reason for that is that there is no big game. I have seen one leopard, a number of snakes, and a host of rats. The natives eat all. I stick to canned foods."

Art Johnson filled a letter full of many names and travels of classmates. Art, after graduation from Tuck spent six months at Officers' Basic School, Fort Sill, toured the West for a few weeks, and then went to work for Continental Can on a Sales training program in New York at the first of the year. Bill Duvall same as above (he and Art survived the Army together) and is now working for U.S. Steel in a sales training program also in N.Y.C. John Donnelly a PFC at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., is driving a truck for six months. As a civilian John works for Minneapolis-Honeywell in Minneapolis. Tom Donahoe is an airman in the Air Force Reserve in Denver. Otherwise Tom is working for Arthur Anderson Accounting in Chicago. Quigg Porter married Joan Mason in June and is working for the Northern Trust Company in Chicago. ChuckSchroeder is in the Navy at Charleston, S. C., and was married to Miss Beth Rennett. RonFraser is in the Army for six months. BillKramer is working for IBM in Boston.

Don Saunders is working for the Linde Corporation in San Francisco. Pete Wardle is out of the Air Force and is also working in San Fran. Wayne Kakela is going to photographer's school somewhere near Mexico City and is managing a small inn during his spare time. Eric and Pat Eichler had a second baby, Denise. Their first child Kurt, was second in line for the Class Baby title by virtue of the fact that he was born fourteen days after Cindy Weiss.

From Art's letter you can see that there are people spread all over the globe. If any of you are about to move do write me and let me know where you are going and I will let you know if there are any classmates nearby.

A few days ago Ed Matthews survived dinner at our house and The Executive left this thought. "For a while the class will be on the move but there will be a gradual settling down and looking toward the future class activities. The best way to do this is to get ideas from you as to what you would like to do as a class. Do rush your comments to us. The sibling contest was a fertile success. Keep up the People Movement and we'll look forward to hearing from you."
