If you are wondering why this column carries no news of our Fall Reunion, which was held in the middle of October, it is because the publishing schedule of the MAGAZINE requires that it be written on the first of October, two weeks before the Reunion is scheduled to take place. You will find a complete report next month.
Bob Bliss, who is Editor and Co-Publisher of the Janesville (Wis.) Gazette, with his wife Carolyn made a seven weeks' tour of seven European countries during the spring, and was there at the time of the blow-up of the Paris summit conference. Bob visited the Associated Press bureau chiefs in the various capitals, in order to get a reporter's view of the current scene, especially on the edge of the Iron Curtain. On his return he wrote a series of reports on what he had found for his newspaper.
Col. Bob Voorhis, who is Staff Judge Advocate for Headquarters, United States Army Pacific, with headquarters in Hawaii, plans to retire from the Army next year, and to start a new civilian career in the Washington, D. C. area. His son, Nicholas R. Voorhis Jr., is in the Air Force, and stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. He also has twin daughters, age 22, one of whom is attending American University in Washington, D. C., while working in the infirmary as an R.N. The other is with her parents in Hawaii, and is working for the firm of Castle and Cooke, Inc., but plans to continue her studies toward a college degree after a few years of work.
The Rev. Nick Carter has received a citation from the Chief of Staff of the U. S. Air Force for spiritual and moral leadership rendered to U. S. Air Force personnel when he conducted Protestant Preaching Missions ill October and November 1959, for Air Force personnel and their families assigned to installations in France and Germany. Nick's son was married during the summer to Alexandra Edith Smith of Halifax, N. S., with Nick helping perform the ceremony. He expects to leave the latter part of November for Lake Worth, Fla., where he will be preaching in the Congregational Church until Easter. For the last several years, Nick and Betty have been working on an old house in Suffield, which they eventually hope to turn into a museum. They have just completed installing a replica of one room, the original of which was moved to the duPont Museum in Winterthur, Del.

Another recent wedding was that of Sykesand Helen Hardy's daughter Cynthia to Ronald Wesley Hayes on Sept. 2, in Sudbury, Mass. The young couple are living at 355 Newbury St. in Boston.
Dinty Gardner again rode out a hurricane on his yacht "Borogove." With Kay and their son, Donald, Jr., Dinty moved the boat from its regular mooring at the Eastern Yacht Club at about noon on Monday to the more sheltered Manchester Harbor. Remaining aboard all night, they managed, with the help of mooring lines fired from the shore, to keep the "Borogove" from smashing on shore.
Mike Ketz has been elected financial vice president of W. T. Grant Co.
Dick Bradley Fox, manager of the public relations department of the New England sales division of Esso Standard Oil, recently addressed the Kiwanis Club of Lee, Mass., at which time he stated that the oil industry's underground reserves are at the highest point in history. He also pointed out that the average price of gasoline today, exclusive of taxes, is 21.4 cents per gallon, four cents cheaper than in 1919, despite the tremendous improvement in its quality.
Hooker Horton has been made executive vice president of Precision Kraft Products, Inc., of Ivoryton, Conn., and lives in Essex, Conn.
Class Chairman Bob Stevens has appointed Howie Mullin as chairman of the Nominating Committee to prepare the slate of nominees for our Executive Committee, to be elected at the Thirty-Fifth Reunion. While this may seem a long time ahead of the event, this is a most important job, and one which takes time to do properly. If any of you have any suggestions of members of the Class whom you would like to see nominated for the Executive Committee, and, even more important, for the various class offices, please send them to Howard J. Mullin, c/o U. S. Steel Corp., 525 William Penn Place, Pittsburgh 30, Penna. He will be most grateful for your cooperation.
Class dues are due. Have you sent yours yet? They pay for this MAGAZINE, as well as the rather small expenses involved in running the affairs of the Class.
