On the family side, Roe is the father of four girls, the oldest of whom is married and living in Panama.

Running his own firm, Product Counsel- ors, Inc., Jack Wachtel specializes in "developing and inventing new consumer products (particularly in toys, housewares, etc.).

Two of the class officers were recently involved in changes. Gene Wilkin is general manager of Krem-AM, FM and TV, Spo- kane, Wash.sorry to see Anita and Gene leave New England, but then our loss is Spokane's gain. Paul Caravatt, already serving as chairman of the firm, has added the title of president to his position at Marschalk Co. (advertising).

Rod Walser is now with explosives department of DuPont, working at the Pompton Lakes Works (N. J.). He and the family are at home in Ridgewood, N. J., where he reports "Unpacked boxes remain even at this late date, but we're making progress. Three daughters, oldest investigating colleges for fall 1969."

Practicing orthopedic surgery in San Francisco, Ted Wilson tells of family and professional activities. "Ruth and I, with two boys and two girls, have been living in the heart of San Francisco since 1956. My major effort has been with the Presbyterian Medical Center, currently undergoing a program of expansion under the auspices of the University of the Pacific with a new hospital building to begin in the fall of 1969. My major ambition in life, at this point, is to give the family a chance to visit Hanover during the summer or fall, but we have thus far not been able to manage it. I suspect the next reunion will be an excellent excuse."

See you in March.
