1956

New England has taken on its colorful autumn appearance today as I write. These are good days to get together with old friends for a football afternoon, and the Princeton weekend is coming up November 20. Bob Faulkner has made arrangements with the Princeton Alumni Council for a Class of '56 reunion at the ROTC building adjacent to Palmer Stadium. Present plans are for the class to gather there after the game for cocktails and a light supper according to latest word from Bob. Bob and Margaret are living at 15 University Place, Princeton 08540.

The August 23 issue of Newsweek magazine carried an interesting article on historians currently hard at work gathering tape recordings. Charlie Morrissey's name and picture figured prominently in the article; Charlie is a National Archives historian. Formerly assigned to the Truman Library, he has recently been assigned to direct the collecting of tapes relating to the late president, John F. Kennedy. Charlie's project has a $300,000 grant from the Carnegie Corp., and he is assembling a staff of professionals to conduct an additional series of interviews with approximately 600 more people. The Kennedy oral history "may become the most useful project of its kind," according to the Newsweek article. Charlie and Brenda are living at 8112 Old Georgetown Road, Bethesda, Md.

I left my position at Dartmouth after three years that were stimulating particularly because of association with Thad Seymour.

I have taken time off from the studies now and am with the American Friends Service Committee community relations office in Roxbury, Mass., involved mostly with housing in crowded sections of Boston. Here I put to work a few of the techniques I picked up when Bill Crooker of B&G and I used to inspect the conditions of the Dartmouth fraternities and put a little pressure on for improvements!
