This year Charlie Zimmerman received that plaque. In the presentation he was described as one who "consistently and continuously gives of himself to others." How true.

Warren Tryon is now mending quite satis factorily after being in the hospital from July to the end of September undergoing two operations. Boston University where Warren is a professor gave him a leave of absence Warrie writes as follows: "I plan to retire in June, 1967. During nine months of the year I shall remain in Rockport because why should I go anywhere when I am already there. The three winter months my wife and I will live in Yucatan, of which I am very fond, both to escape the winter coal and oil bills of New England and the intellectual horrors of Florida. At present I am working on a new book - a study of the American expatriates in Paris - and in retirement if health of body and mind stay with me, I shall continue to write. As I said, it is not very exciting, and I can hardly believe of much interest to classmates, but it is satisfying to me."
