1953

Dateline: Panama. Pete Bridges and family are living in Panama City where Pete has been working in the American Embassy for a little over a year. "Just now I am on detail as vice consul in charge of the American Consulate in Colon on the Atlantic side of the Isthmus, which makes me a transcontinental commuter. The commuting is complicated now by landslides on the Panama Railroad, thanks to a month of heavy rain which in one particular week totaled 22 inches." Pete continues to report the proud addition to his growing family of Mary Bartow born on November 14. More mud paddies are being made by David, four, and Elizabeth, two.

Dateline: Bay State Rd., Boston. Gil Osborn reports: "I spent a very pleasant ten weeks traveling the Mid-West on behalf of the current MIT Development Program and fully expected to remain in Chicago for at least a year. However, MIT concluded that my services would be more valuable in Cambridge - hence, the unexpected switch. As you've undoubtedly gathered from the comments above, I left my former spot as Director of Development at Connecticut College in July, and am currently Special Assistant for Development at MIT. However all was not lost at Connecticut; I was there just long enough to strike up a promising acquaintance with a young lady who, as of November 19, has become my fiancee. Her name is Lynne Ann Jones; she's a Mt. Holyoke grad (1958), and is currently working on a Master's Degree in Zoology at Connecticut College under a fellowship from the Danforth Foundation. She expects to get her degree in June and, if all goes well, our bachelor ranks will be diminished by one come late August."

Speaking of bachelors - Dateline; East Hampton, Conn., Fred Carleton has announced his engagement to Lea Chase. Lea graduated from St. Margaret's School, Waterbury, and Wheaton College. Fred is now with the Electronic Data Processing Division of the Minneapolis-Honeywell Regulator Company in San Francisco. Further engagement news comes from Chevy Chase, Md., where Tom Bradley and Anna Elizabeth Margaret Zamoyska have wedding bells planned. Anna is the daughter of the late Count Ladislas Ignacy Zamoyski of Warsaw, Poland. She graduated from George Washington University in 1958 and is on the staff of Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York. Tom is a grad of the University of Virginia Law School. Spring vows are set for Judith Brown and Bart Zanelli. Judith is a secretary with Needham Louis and Brorby Advertising, New York, and Bart is associated with the Newark law firm of Stryker, Tams and Horner. Dateline: Shrewsbury, N. J., and the title reads - "Miss Binder to marry Mr. Miller." Rosemary Binder and Al Miller plan a spring wedding also. Rosemary graduated from Wheaton in 1958, and after graduation Al went on to obtain his law degree from Harvard in 1956. Congratulations to you all - and if any of you wish to consult old experienced hands at this wedding game, get in touch with: Bob and GailMalin who were united on November 5 in Winston-Salem, N. C., or Dick and RuthHooke who turned the trick in Boston in October. Ruth is a graduate of Wellesley and Yale Divinity School, while Dick did grad work at the University of Michigan and Syracuse and is presently working for his Master's Degree in Fine Arts at Boston University. For additional information contact Saul and Deborah Talamo. They celebrated a November wedding and then took a trip to Jamaica and Curacao. Deborah is a graduate of Chandler School for Women, Boston and Saul is an accountant presently with David Mintz Company, Boston.

Storktown is the next dateline - Happy news arrived in the form of Sarah Elizabeth, August 24, to Lee and Joyce Dennis; and Betsy Ann to Bob and Susan Nessen, who now live in Montclair, N. J.

Don Bigham mailed me a clipping which demands a HATS OFF, warm Wah-Hoo-Wah for Joe Burbeck who won his first Larchmont, N. Y., Yacht Club frostbite regatta, sailing the ship "Lemming." Without leading in any of the seven races, Joe sailed in a twenty-mile west-southwest breeze, to accumulate 254 of a possible aBo points. Miss Jonnie O'Brien sailed with the winning skipper and helped them post one second and never lower than seventh in the fleet of 32 dinghies. (The editor happened to note that "Novacain" came in second, I assume feeling no pain.)
