1957

Last year at this time I opened the column by mentioning a slight quirk in California's weather system which caused a few floods, landslides, etc. in the Golden State. This little quirk is repeating itself on schedule ... exactly one year later ... floods, landslides all over again. In our latest siege, the Dalton family has lost about 25% of the house roof.. . the back yard is like a swimming pool—and we are loading the ark with that warm, dry desert as our destination. Go East, young man.

According to news from Mayor Lindsay's city, George Cox is in his second year of internal medicine residency at Manhattan Veteran's Administration Hospital. Prior to the VA residency, George spent two years with the Navy Medical Corps. George is still a member of the stubborn bachelor contingent.

Steve Weiss' family is still expanding according to news from Steve's spouse, Sue. The toddler count is now four and the youngest - Amy —is now three years old. To put things in perspective, the Weiss' "number one child" is the '57 Class Baby — and she is now eight years old. Time marches on and we're not getting any younger.

On his return to his company the next year he was named assistant project manager and later project manager in New Product Development, his most recent posi- tion.

Jane is the daughter of "Wild Bill" McCall, Class of '32, niece of Don McCall '28, twin sister of John McCall '63, and sister-in-law of Red Fitzsimmons '56. I'm sure your family gettogethers are very peaceful, Pete.

Dave married the former Patricia Houston of Bartow, Fla.

As of last October, Dick Bacon became an associate with the law firm of Arnold and Porter in Washington, D. C., after a four-and-one-half-year tour of duty with the Internal Revenue Service.

On the political scene, Dick Reilly was a supervisor candidate in a Lewisboro, N. Y., election last fall. Unfortunately I didn't get the news whether Democrat Dick won or not. According to the newspaper story, Dick has been an active individual in and around Lewisboro.

How's that leisure time, Dick?
