The Dodgers lost the pennant yesterday, but the day was brightened appreciably by a surprise phone call from Bob Simpson at the Los Angeles International Airport. Bob and his bride were on their way to Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Australia, then back to Karachi, Pakistan for a brief stay until they are assigned to Pfizer Labs., Ltd., in Bombay, India. Bob will be the new Sales and Market Development Manager in that area, plus a proud new "poppa" in the not too distant future. Great to hear from you, Bob, and here's hoping you can be aboard for the 10th in Hanover this coming summer.
