1960

We'll start off with a few weddings this month. Joe McHugh and Brenda Baxter tied the knot on February 17. Joe graduated from Tuck last year, but is now applying his business learning to the U.S. Army in Indianapolis. Walt Sosnowski married Doris Davis in Dallas, Texas, on February 10. Sos is in the service now and is stationed at Connally Air Force Base in Texas. Webb Wade and Ausma Millers were married on March 24, in Allentown, Pa.

A card from Earle Patterson tells of the arrival of a boy child, Wayne Earle, on January 26. It is the Pattersons' first. At present Earle is in his second year at the U. of Penn Law School. His classmates include Bob Messner, Pete Schwartz, Steve Gell and Abbie Stark. Earle also sent along news of Bruce Lively, who is doing some studies at the hospital at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, and Ben Parish, who is in the Army on Okinawa. Other offspring news: Cai and Barbara Raber had a boy - Christopher - last November. As I mentioned last month, Cai is back in Hanover doing some work at Thayer School.

Alex McGinnis is now back at Northwestern Med School after a year in New Zealand. Reliable word has it that MaGoo arrived at the U.S. customs carrying only a guitar and a suitcase, but made a quite successful attempt to bring back many souvenirs by wearing three or four suits of clothes and stuffing all twenty-eight of his pockets.

Fred Mathews writes that he and wife Dorie are now living in the Cleveland area. Fred is a Computer Applications Analyst for General Precision Equipment Corporation (formerly Royal McRee). He's been working so hard that he just recently found time to write and tell me about the arrival of his son Andrew who is now about a year old.

Roy Monson and Tom Murphy are both in the Army in Germany. Roy is a PFC and stationed in Bamberg. Tom is a 2nd Lt. with Army Ordnance and is stationed in Germersheim. Seems we have quite a few stationed around the globe. Bob and Ann Becker are living in Rota, Spain, where Bob is with the Navy Air Intelligence. They report cockroaches, but inexpensive maid service. It sounds like the good life.

Soldier Roli Kolman informs me he is in the Psychological Warfare Battalion at Fort Bragg. Roli got a "P.R." degree from B.U. last year and is teaching special classes as part of his duties. He and wife Mimi are renting a house and seem to be enjoying the North Carolina atmosphere. Tom Kirby and Pete Herrick are also at Fort Bragg. Pete is teaching Viet Namese to the special forces, and I don't know what Tom is doing. Thanks to Roli for the swell letter.

A few engagements will finish us off for this month. Herb Maurer and Sandra Liljcholm became engaged in January. Herb is at Albany Med School. Andy Stone and Dorothy Denver were also engaged back in January. Andy is now in Philadelphia with Mobil Oil. Jim Pollard, who is at B.U. School of Theology, just got engaged to Barbara Koch. And lastly, Bill Katz was engaged to Betsy Park who is now a senior at Mt. Holyoke. Bill is stationed at Fort Dix, N. J.

Our fund drive will be continuing until the end of June. I really hope that everyone will come through with a donation — be it $5 or $25. The big thing is to give something. I know most of us are in debt by now, but I'm sure we can all scrape up a little something for the "Big Green." That's it for now. Keep me informed of all the big and small events in your life.
