Lee Trudeau has abandoned the advertising business and the bright lights of the city and now owns and operates the Beeches Lodge on Sebago Lake in East Sebago, Me. A late June letter from Lee reads in part as follows: ... "I bought this place in March and we opened over Memorial Day weekend. Business has been slow until this week when most schools are out for the summer. We sleep forty, feed sixty at a time, and our lounge is big enough for good booze drinking . ... American Plan or European, in either case it's quite reasonable. ... The lake is great, fourteen miles by eight, and, of course, fishing is fabulous. ... So, good-bye (I hope) Madison Avenue, but we'll know better in the fall...

Our former treasurer, Stew Steffey is putting his years of fund raising experience to good use by heading up a $3.2 million fund raising campaign for the Shady Side Academy in Pittsburgh. At last report, Stew and his committee were well past the halfway mark. A letter from Stew this summer contained news of several classmates, as follows:
Enroute to Chicago, I was cursing the fact that a chain letter had been sent to me (the kind that involves sending a golf ball). It had been sent by a good customer so I felt I should forward the damn thing. I certainly did smile when I found that the fellow to whom the golf ball was to be sent was George Kruger, friend and classmate.
Looking across the aisle on the plane, I saw the recently elected vice president of Firth Sterling, Inc., Carl Rrogh. It turned out that he was on his way to the Bishop Big Pine Area of California to inspect a tungsten mine. From past experience, I know that some of the finest trout fishing in America is down along that Owens River Valley. I also saw another classmate, Bob Austin, the Union Carbide sales manager, hurrying through the Chicago airport to join Carl.
In Salt Lake, Jim Echols was sending his son to visit his brother in Hanover, as young Jim is a candidate for the Class of '72. He reported that Robb Alexander in Ogden is busy, although he doesn't see him often any more except in the winter while enroute to the snow bowl where they ski together.
Mouse Hall, director of special events for the Class, is planning another reunion at Spofford Lake for the weekend of the Penn Game, October 14. Details should be out by the time you read this, but if you haven't heard anything about it, contact one of the officers or a member of the executive committee.
