Sign of the times in '52's own backyard: Ron Scott, Philadelphia lawyer though he is, was one of those young American reservists recalled to active duty on October 1. Ron and Terri had just purchased a home in Merion, Pa., and a child is due in November. But it's all Navy now for the Scotts.

Life goes on pretty much as usual elsewhere — marriage, birth, advancement, etc. Doug Branigan was married to Miss Marilyn Bechdolt in Indianapolis on June 24.

Another doctor, Bob Cotsen, is now with the West Roxbury, Mass., Veterans' Hospital, as a resident in cardiology and the reason why he's mentioned here is that he and Patricia had a new arrival, Brenda Meisel on July 11. This has been a busy time for Phil and Judith Trowbridge too. Their third child, daughter Susan King, was born July 23. Phil was promoted to district commercial manager for the New York Telephone Co. - West Street District - and he was re-elected treasurer (two more years) for the Bergen County (N. J.) Dartmouth Club.
