Paul Zimmerman is now director of the Peace Corps program in Iran, overseeing about 230 volunteers engaged in nursing, teaching English, agricultural and home extension services, architecture, engineering, and city planning.

He returned to the U.S. for vacation and Persian language study in Washington, then assumed his new post last December. Paul hopes that friends to whom he hasn't written recently will understand that "we haven't been wasting time completely."

The "San Jose (Calif.) Mercury-News" carried a long story describing how DickWilson, who raises hay, grain, and cattle on a 400-acre ranch in northern California, led a successful fight to block construction of a proposed dam that would have flooded his ranch and others, as well as an Indian reservation with 350 residents. The multimillion-dollar Dos Rios Dam, according to the Mercury-News, was "the key to plans by the Army Corps of Engineers and California Water Resources Department to transport water from the northern coastal area to Southern California." But Dick mobilized friends and neighbors in the valley, protested that the project was unnecessary for Southern California and asserted that the cost was underestimated. "In one year, he drove 40,000 miles pleading the case, his farm work was postponed and his telephone bill averaged $100 a month." He also called on Governor Reagan, who finally decided against the dam. After the extraordinary victory, Dick told the newspa- per, "There's nothing wrong with utilizing resources provided you do it in a way that doesn't deplete the area. The natural settings should be disrupted as little as possible. We should learn the lesson the Indians teach - live within the environment instead of outside of it."

Air Force Major Bruce Gardener had a lively spring and summer, flying B-52 strike missions from Guam to Vietnam, then moving on to Thailand in June and to Okinawa in August for more of the same action. He says Guam was a continuous "old home week." "I'm meeting people I haven't seen in 10 or 15 years. The amount of traffic through the place is fantastic."

Bill Kofoed has moved his Kofoed Public Relations Associates from Miami to Hollywood, Fla., to associate with Greenman Advertising, which Bill says is "one of the largest agencies in Florida." He reports further: "My business is growing well and I have added two New Yorkers to the staff. I have been on the run to Europe, Peru, Bahamas, Honduras, Colombia, Mexico, and Africa." Also, says Bill, "I would assume I'm safe in saying that I'm probably the first '55 to have a son enter Dartmouth. My adopted son Elliott enters the freshman class in September and I am looking forward to seeing the campus again."
