Had a real pleasant surprise a few weeks ago when Pat Giles popped his head into my doorway. Seems that he was out this way house-hunting in anticipation of getting out of the Army, marrying this August, probably living in Ann Arbor while his wife finishes her schooling, and working in Detroit. Pat has long-range plans for Michigan Law school starting in the summer of 1966.

Neil is with the Navy Civil Engineer Corps, doing research at the Corps' lab where he is concerned with water supply and waste disposal problems at Antarctic bases.

"Sue and I are living in a 3 bedroom house on the Naval Construction Battalion Center, Port Hueneme, and extend the welcome mat to any '62s who may be in the area."
A long-awaited letter recently arrived from Ingrid and Denny Barnes. It's hard to believe that son Richard is three already. Denny is finishing up his studies at Georgetown Law. From there, after bar exams, it will be to Allegheney Airlines until the end of the year, and then into the Judge Advocate General's Corps of the Army for four years. Ingrid tells us that Dave Armstrong will be married in June to Miss Muriel Rowson, and that Sam and Marilee Anderson are expecting their first child the same month out California way.
Paul Flynn was recently elected president of.the Student Council at Jefferson Medical College. After graduation Paul hopes to be in London or at the Mayo Clinic on fellowship in September and October. Then it's probably out to the West Coast with eventual specialist training in plastic surgery. Paul raises the hope for a rugby game during our first reunion in June 1966 with the Dartmouth Rugby Club. Sounds good.
