The advent of the holiday season is upon us — so is the advent of the skiing season. Although Gil and Ann Sykes live in Stamford, Conn., their second home is in Dorset, Vt., in the heart of the ski country. If you are contemplating a ski trip to the Manchester area, the Sykeses have rental accommodations. Dr. Ed Hyde will probably be in the first aid room again this year at Mad River Glen Ski area. Ed and his" associates at the Green Mountain Clinic in Northfieid have added a Britsh doctor, Michael Waddell, to their staff. He came fully equipped with wife and three children. The Hydes had a busy August. Their son, Douglas, a senior at Boston University Law School, was married to Cynthia Neiley of Moline, Ill.

Before we leave New Hampshire it should be announced that the law firm of Devine, Millimet (Joe, that is), McDonough, Stahl & Branch in Manchester has opened an office in Nashua with a distinguished lawyer as a partner, Paul S. Cleveland. Sounds like an unbeatable combination at the bar. Joe and Elizabeth Millimet live in Manchester with two of their children, Rebecca and Peter.

Although the press has reported Budd Schulberg's fine efforts to develop the young literary talents of Watts, you will be interested in a recent book he edited entitled "From the Ashes - Voices of Watts."
