Speaking of travel, Wat and Eleanor Dickerman recently returned from a fascinating five-month trip. They went from Los Angeles, where Wat is Professor of Education at the University of California, to Genoa on an Italian freighter, visiting Guatemala, Curacao, and Marseilles en route. From Genoa they visited Venice and Trieste and took a cruise down the Dalmatian coast to Dubrovnik.

Wat says, "The Yugoslav coast is astounding. Thousands of islands, the coast itself a continuing array of peaks, often snowcapped. The boats stay close in shore, giving you a never-ending show of ancient castles, fishing villages, and large and small ships. Dubrovnik and Split are gems in which to spend several days." From there the Dickermans wandered north through Europe to Norway for a 16-day North Cape cruise, then home on a Norwegian freighter.

Sherm Baketel retired August 1 as a Captain in the Coast Guard and he and Helen are happily settled in a newly acquired home in New Castle, N. H., a country village close to Portsmouth. They selected New Hampshire for many reasons. Sherm's family came to the state originally in 1630, his mother, aged 86, lives 40 miles away, a married daughter lives near Boston and the tax climate is good. Then too, part of service retirement is "in kind" and it is important to be near a good Naval Hospital, commissary, PX, and Officers' Club. To top it off he gives the clincher, "I have traveled during the last ten years throughout the United States. New Hampshire still looks good."
