Finally succeeded in a five-year project of running down Len Frey. He is an associate professor of English at the San Diego branch of the University of California. He got his Ph.D. in the spring of '59 and felt so good about it that he married Kathryn Thurston. Kathy is a skier and, judging from the room full of trophies she has, a good one. Two daughters have sprung from this union, Ruth and Margaret. Len teaches Latin and bibliography and Anglo-Saxon to graduate students.

One-man opposition to the deterioration of Long Island's Great South Bay, by means of a malodorous stench which has become indigenous to this formerly pleasant body of water, is our Dr. Einar Grell. Einar has spent three summers sleuthing the problem and declares it is merely rotten egg gas like we used to make in chemistry. All the people of the area have to do to restore their once pleasant swimming and fishing water is clean up 75 streams emptying into the bay and dredge a canal to permit some circulation of the sea. Einar has been working on this project on a grant from the National Science Foundation. He is regularly science teacher at the Half Hollow Hills High School.
