There seems to be somewhat of a lull now before the arrival of spring, and with it a scarcity of engagement and wedding announcements, as well as newsy letters. However, Ron Zwart's engagement announcement did get through to me at last. His marriage to Ranate Verena Hasenfuss is planned for this summer, and at the time of the announcement, Ron was serving aboard the U.S.S. Soley (DD707) as operations officer.
The announcement was also made of the marriage of Edward E. Burns Jr. to Elizabeth Ann Brummer on February 9 in Larchmont, N.Y. Robert Lamont Harrison was wed to Dorothy Hope Gulbenkian of Plainfield, N.J., in January. Bob is a lawyer with New York Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz in Albany. Harold S. Knapp Jr. married Miss Carol Louise Stark on December 29, 1962. He is teaching in the Westwood High School, Westwood, N.J., and they will live in Leonia, N.J.

Dick lives in nearby Menlo Park. Frank Gado has been named an instructor of English at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. In Roxbury, Mass. Rev. CarlMcCall has been elected chairman of a civic committee to combat crime in that city.

A letter from Hal Douglas reports that his family is growing all the time. Their second child James Robert was born in September, 1962, and Hal says both Jim and Lynn are taking after their father. Hal is with Aetna Insurance Company, in the casualty insurance department, and he and Ginny live in Moline, Ill., "crossroads of the Midwest."
