1944

I owe an apology to Dick Rondeau for my poor penmanship. I wrote last month's notes longhand in a Chicago hotel and when writing of Jack Riley mentioned the balance of the triumverate, Rondeau and Harrison. The editors apparently couldn't decipher my treatment of "Rondeau" so they dropped it.

Oscar Goedecke was good enough to write from Dallas and tell about a pleasant experience he had last fall when a car bearing his new neighbors pulled up. The neighbors: Dick and Ann Rondeau and their two lovely daughters. It was the first time Oscar had seen his old roommate in seventeen years. Dick was renting at the time, has since bought a beautiful new home several miles away. He and Oscar still see one another frequently, like watching the Olympic hockey games, for instance. Dick is manager of a large Dallas concrete firm. Oscar is Southwestern District Manager for the Tube Division of RCA. Oscar, Helen, and their four youngsters are true Texans by now. He concludes saying, "Once we get Ann Rondeau sold and Dick used to no hockey, we've got it made!"

Bud and Nancy Coith are rejoicing with their latest addition, daughter Ann Davis. There was a nine-year lapse in the diaper and formula schedules at the Coith household, but last report has it that Bud is holding up very well.

It is with real regret that I inform you that Bill Ard, possibly the most talented man in our class, died of cancer in Florida on March 12. I first learned of Bill's untimely death from Pinky Corroon, one of Bill's closest friends. Later I received a letter from Harry Cary who was vacationing with Pat in Florida at the time and attended the funeral. Details will be found in the In Memoriam section of this or a subsequent issue. The Class extends its- very deepest sympathy to Bill's wife, Eileen and their children, Eileen and Bill Jr.
