1955
Ron Murphy, one of our semi-permanent foreigners, writes that he and wife Kathy "are relative old-timers in Zurich now, having lived here for three years. . . . We live in what might for lack of better description be called exurban Zurich, complete with view of Alps (on those infrequent clear days), Heidis with milk pails, cows grazing on slopes with 70 degree angles, and all those other quaint visions that Switzerland evokes." Ron toils (?) for Singer Sewing Machine Co., and says his job "involves co-ordinating New York management policies with our field subsidiaries, systems work and other sundry administrative functions," entailing "considerable traveling throughout Europe - north, south and east —as far east as Istanbul, and that is far enough!"
