1961
Nice to see your smiling face looking down at me again, we columns don't lead the most pleasant life in the world, you know, first of all we get edited!! (yettch) and that hurts a bit, then gettin all gunked up with ink and stamped onto some paper it ain't a ball, believe me. Matter of fact now that I notice it you aren't looking so great. Missed a few spots shaving, better check on that potential zit beside your nose, eyes look a little baggy, well you're not as young as you used to be. Also it's not easy to work about 10 hours a day, fight your way home, kiss the wife, wrastle with the kids, eat, catch up on Business Week, and all that. Anyhow as I said, it's nice to see you again after the summer vacation, why not grab yourself a cool suds and sit back and I give you a whole lot of poop about what's happening with your cohorts from the bright, golden college days.
President Johnson has named JohnnyAdams, a native of Portsmouth, N. H., as a Foreign Service Officer of the United States. After successfully completing highly competitive written and oral examinations, Johnny was sworn in at a Washington ceremony this summer. At this writing he should have his assignment and may be in any one of 113 countries at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate or with the Department of State in Washington.
TRIAL BY AISLE DEPARTMENT: July was festival month for Dick Tonneson and Judy LeShane. Don't know what Dick is doing to earn his daily bread but what ever it is he'll be doing it in Waltham, Mass.
A couple of Texans became united for peace in May down in the giant state. Pris Barnard and Bob Evans did the ring-thing in Richardson, Texas. Bob works as a credit reporter for Dun and Bradstreet in Dallas. At the other end of the country, New York City to be exact, Lawyer Howie Goldberg married Miss Marcia Zeisel. Evidently Marcia is almost as smart as Howie judging from the long list of awards, fellowships, etc. They should have super-smart kids. The scourge of Torrington, Conn., Glenn Gemelli, now an officer in the Air Force, married Miss Barbara Hall in Loring, Me., last June. The clipping got clipped just before it told where Barbara and Glenn would be living but an educated guess would place them near an Air Force base somewhere.
Since both Nancy Jane Sutermeister and Henry Heubach worked at the Stanford Research Institute they decided to get hitched. That was back in June and now they are living in California and still working at the SRI. Interesting to note that even BruceLacoss, a sturdy bachelor, has made known his marital intentions. Bruce and Nancy Downes of Santa Barbara have plans for later this year. One of the few architects of our class, Pete Stone has decided to take on a consulting partner. She is Miss Martha Schauss of River Forest, Ill. Actually they are already merged, August 27 to be exact. Mike Murphy and Miss Carol Ann Stroud were married in July. Mike is getting his M.B.A. at Harvard. Pete Robinson who is a professor of French at the University of Minnesota (Ski-U-Mah, etc. etc.) and Miss Julia Williams of Boston were engaged as of June, are probably married by now if I am as behind as usual. "Workshop" Richards and Miss Mary Gotta were married just in time for reunions. Jim, as I recall from Bob Naegle's stories, owns a dynamiting business in northern Minnesota.
It's not everyday you meet up with a personnel specialist for the Federal Correction Institution in Danbury, is it? Matter of fact when Kathleen Redmond met Bob Wendell, who is one, she was so impressed she married him, in May, in Bridgeport. How 'bout that! Here's a real live engagement that hasn't become a marriage by the time your obedient serpent gets the news. Bert Rowley and Miss Pamela Graves of West Hartford will be married this month (it's September when columns get written). Bert is with Publisher's Clearing House in Long Island.
The San Francisco Law firm of Hall, Henry, Oliver and McReavy with whom Ellis Adler works has taken on, through the good officer of Mr. Adler, a most charming silent partner, Miss Katherine Herbert. She and Ellis were joined in nuptial bliss in July. The San Francisco Opera Chorus has two outstanding members, Emogene Below and George Bland. They plan to be wed in December and I can only conclude that their romance was one of those lovely stagedoor things with George waiting with an armful of roses while the audience cheered. Sounds terribly dramatic.
