Those birthday cards we're sending out are producing a lot of wonderful comments - and. quite incidentally, a welcome flow of mail. A letter from Hank Milton says he likes living in Cheshire, only fifteen minutes from his office in Wallingford, Conn. This makes for the easy life, he says, and the bulging waistline. Hank Jr., '58, lives in Englewood, N. J., and works for Texaco. Like his dad, he plays a lot of golf and went three rounds in the Metropolitan Amateur last year. Daughter Deborah lives in Living-ston, N. L; her husband, Bob Lindner, works for Public Service. Last August Hank was promoted to Director of Marketing of the Plastics & Resins Division of American Cyanamid Co.
