1948

At this magnificent time of the year with the brightly colored fall leaves in the heavily wooded New England countryside creating the appearance of hills larger than they are when verdant earlier in the year, I hope many of you will have the opportunity of enjoying this spectacle before the winter arrives.

After teaching neurology and psychiatry at the University of Virginia Medical School for several years, Dr. John Parks has moved to Lexington, Ky. John is now the Director of the Comprehensive Care Center, and I frankly don't know quite what type of a psychiatric institution this could be, but when I find out, I will let you know. John and Sceg had two children last I heard. David, their son, is now almost twelve, and Ann is six.

For the past year, Jerry King has been living in Cambridge studying law at Harvard after receiving a grant for this purpose. He is now back at Williams College where he is a professor teaching Contemporary Civilization and Political Science. Now that he has had a taste of college life in the city, I'm sure he appreciates the smaller institution in the country even more. Jerry, Muriel, their two daughters and son, Dan, nine, live nearby in Williamsburg.

Although Bill and Janet Coleman had a nice home in Brighton, a suburb of Rochester, where I visited them a few years ago, they recently moved further out to Pittsford so their four daughters will have a little more room. Johanna and Karen are now nineteen and eighteen with Kristen, twelve, and Kimberley almost eight. Bill is a doctor with a successful practice specializing in internal medicine. He formerly taught at the University of Rochester Medical School, but I don't know if he still has time to teach.

Recently, the Parker Hannifin Company, of Cleveland, manufacturers of hydraulic and pneumatic valves, fittings, couplers, and related products, announced that Al Cassin had joined the company as a sales engineer covering the Florida area. Al had formerly been with Reed Rolled Thread Die Com- pany, covering the same area. He and Charlotte live in Rockledge, Fla., and have six children.

One of the few remaining copies of an etching of the Municipal Group in Springfield, Mass., made in 1921 by the American artist, Louis Orr, is in the office of the Punderson Oil Co. in that town. Jim Punderson, president of the company, says it has been in the office as long as he can remember and was originally given to his father by another member of the family. I had a nice talk with Jim this summer and promised to stop in and see him next time I'm in Springfield. Jim and Jane live in East Longmeadow and have four sons. James Jr. is eighteen, Richard, sixteen, Peter, fifteen, and Steve, fourteen. Things must be pretty active around Jim and Jane's house with all the boys' various activities.

Looking through my records, I see it has been a long time since I reported on Chauncey Levy, although I spoke to him on the phone when I was in Rochester several years ago. Chauncey and Elinor have two sons last I heard, Drew, seven and Erik, five. Chauncey is an eye doctor with an established practice in Rochester.

As the years go by, Joe Luyckx keeps moving up in the financial department of the Ford Motor Company. Joe works at the main office of Ford in Dearborn, Mich. My latest information indicates he and Patty have three daughters, Ann, Mary and Susan, thirteen, twelve and ten.

Among the more unusual occupations engaged in by one of our classmates is George MacGillivray's position as a geographer for the U. S. Government in Washington, D. C. George and Gloria live in Bethesda, Md., with their three children, Jeff, Jim, and Kathleen.

I hope to see many of you soon. So long until next month.
