1955

It's not that parents don't love their curious, demanding small children. It's just that they'd like to escape the wee ones now and then. Jon Kropper, who hasn't communicated with this column in recent history, broke silence to announce "finally...

some news of interest." What was it? He and Nancy had ditched their two youngsters. They left them with Jon's parents, and with time weighing heavy on their hands, flitted off across the Atlantic. First London, then across the channel to Ostende, on to Brussels, Heidelberg, Lucerne (a visit there at the home of Tom Tyler '54), Innsbruck, Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa (they climbed the tower), Monte Carlo ("gamboling" there, so Jon said), Nice, Lyon, and finally, "five nights in Paris" (no mention of what happened to the days). Then they flew back to Boston, retrieved their children with renewed enthusiasm, and Jon went back to work "to rest up on Polaroid's time."
