1949

Pain note: Our leader, Bob Zeiser, has been getting sympathy the hard way this winter. With a crushed cervical disc and arthritis of the spine, he has spent the winter in a traction contraption, whiling away the time with shots, pills, lamps and rest.

Prosperity note: King Ball has moved his prospering insurance company in Augusta, Me., into larger quarters to handle the growing flood of business he is getting.

Academic note, viz: Further report on the activities of Ralph Sleeper in continuing the education of the adult citizens around Flushing, N. Y. Ralph is appointed director of Adult Continuing Education at Queens College. This is a program to allow grown-ups to keep going for a bachelor's degree, those who have had no formal education beyond high school and who have been away from academic life ten years or more. Idea is that you go evenings for two and a half years to special seminars in broad areas (e.g. Visual Arts, Literature and Music; Physical Sciences; Life Sciences; History and Social Sciences). If you like it, then you matriculate in regular Queens baccalaureate program. Ralph has been working for two years to try to work out a suitable approach for this kind of student.

Jake Balatow has emigrated to North Carolina (Lenoir, 510 Kentwood St.) from Buffalo, where he was a manufacturer's representative in the furniture business.

Bob Kendall is still with IBM, only he has moved from Chicago to Poughkeepsie, where he is a marketing representative for the Data Systems Division. Bob, Gay and the boys live in Hopewell Junction, N.Y., apparently out in the country.

Frank O'Halloran is now down in Brooklyn. We last had him out in Cleveland with some Picture Products Company. Check Frank at 230 Jay Street and let us know.

Foreign business note: Dick Wacholz has followed a Ford Motor Co. career overseas, to Antwerp, Belgium. He is, as you may recall, a financial type, and is Plant Controller of a Tractor operation. Call on Dick and his family at 156 Jan Van Rijswijcklaan, once you learn how to pronounce it well enough to ask how to get there.
