Bob met Herb Young during a holiday cocktail party and mentions that Pete Powers is in Germany with the Army while Steve Hibbs and Ted Everett are helping keep the Air Force alert.

Unknown sources have reported that after a flying trip to California, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Prasch are settled at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. Pvt. Bill Woodbury is here at Ft. Meyer and doing some sort of work at the Pentagon. Larry Gardner and Mrs. are living in Alexandria. At last word Larry was working for Senator Cot- ton in the morning and going to Law School in the evening. Skip Traynham is also in Alexandria, at Virginia Theological Seminary. Jim Smith is resigned to a term in the Army and is awaiting the call. 2nd Lt. Chris Wren has returned from a year of study and mountain climbing in Europe to do push-ups for the Army at Ft. Benning. Frank Andrews is returning from a year in Australia on a Rotary to the awaiting arms of his draft board.

In September Bob Dennis married Miss Barbara Zimmerman and is now living in Baltimore working on his Doctorate at Johns Hopkins.

On July 24, I started with the Foreign Service and was presented with a daughter, Helen Leas. Never have the corridors of Washington been paced so fiercely. I am now engaged in an intensive German course which will terminate in February. I will be working for the Economic Defense Division of International Resources for 18 months before going overseas.

Officially Bob is a Vice Consul and a Secretary in the Diplomatic Service certainly worthy of this month's BMOC Award.

To you all congratulations and regards.

Skip.
