1954

By the time this article gets to print spring will be right around the corner. Right now, however, winter seems interminable, unless of course, you can enjoy brief excursions south, or to ski country. Now Doug Smith, for example, seems to have the perfect set-up with a "George-Shaw-constructed-apartment" in Aspen, Colo. Doug tells us that George has developed a new technique for obtaining medical deductions for tax purposes. George's solution is to take a large family like Doug's (four children plus a possible on-the-way), put them into an apartment, provide them all with a leaking roof in cold weather, wait approximately 24 hours and then call the doctor, ASPCA, or whatever shape of humanity answers distress calls. Nevertheless, the Smiths have apparently enjoyed these respites and have thrived passably well, as witnessed by their burgeoning brood. Doug is manager of one of the Chicago offices of E. F. Hutton & Co., stockbrokers, and manages as well a varied list of interests including skiing, eating, and birth control(?).

John Tuck just communicated with us and elaborated on the tribulations of finishing up "ye olde dissertation" and teaching full time at a southern school of higher learning.

Nevertheless Jack is able to salve his wounds with the company of his wife Peg and two children, Jonathan and Kathy, the latter just starting up the academic ladder. You can bet one thing for sure those kids will know their geography!
