1960

After my comment in this MAGAZINE'S reunion issue about the "Left-Over" Club, I was promptly bombarded with wedding announcements from all quarters. MikeMenaker, today an attorney in New York, was married to Miss Penny Hart on May 21. Jim Cole, who, with a master's from Yale is doing some more graduate work in statistics at the University of North Carolina, went all the way to Texas to marry Nancy Stooksberry in June.

Win Robinson, with somewhat inexpert assistance from John Patterson, Dick Chase, Tom Ettinger, and Larry Gazley, married Victoria Shellenberg in early July. ErnieLatham left the "Left-Over" Club ranks on July 30 when he was married to Judy Moses in Boston. That much for weddings.

Dick Pomboy is back at the Harvard Business School after a very "hard-working" summer with Jenney Manufacturing Company. I hear that Bob Messner is working in Pittsburgh with a law firm after a stint in the Army in the Far East. Walter Daniels received his Ph.D. in Physics in June from the University of Maryland and will be teaching at M.I.T. in Cambridge this year. Bob Colyer dropped me a nonchalant note mentioning that he'd been in 28 states since the Reunion which must break some sort of traveling record. He apparently had a "quiet" after-reunion reunion in Denver with Jerry and Kay Boyle.

After becoming vice-president in a New York advertising agency, Gene Kohn decided to leave this, the - from a marketing point of view, anyway - unproductive side of business to join the Morse Shoe Company in Canton, Mass., as assistant to the President. Ken Rosenfield is, I am told, now available for people with toothaches. He and wife Leslie live in one of the Boston suburbs. I hear that Mitch Engle is making the airways safe (?) as a pilot with American Airlines. Haley Fromholz dropped me a note and after griping about my handwriting for a paragraph and a half told me that he is married to Anita, is going to Law School at Duke, and spent the summer working for the National Defender Project, providing, as he said, legal counsel for indignant criminal clients.

I am quite sure that considering the small size of the "Left-Over" Club there must be a lot of babies being born but I only know of two. Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Erdman had a boy on June 8; and Mr. and Mrs. GordonDeWitt had a girl on July 1.

Rumors from Hanover have it that Bob Blackman is making plans for a repeat performance this year. I understand that for each of the ballgames there are pre and post activities planned. As I get a better fix on things, I will let you know.

Finally a word to the wives. Since your husbands are obviously rather reticent letter writers, how about you taking the initiative and letting me know what is going on? But since we don't want to make this strictly a "Diaper and Recipy" column, I am suggesting a sort of division of labor. I will be very grateful for any and all information about your wayward husbands and the family in general; and Gail Erwin, Pete's charming wife—13011 Arctic Avenue, Rockville, Md. 20853 - has kindly consented to collect the "Diaper and Recipy" type of information and write a "strictly for the girls" column next year. We will both be very happy to hear from you.
