'Forty-three has done it again! Back at the still, our own Rad Hibben is coming out with a book of do-it-yourself recipes for making liquor. He admits to three interests - church, genealogy and making booze. Seriously, Rad and wife Virginia have taken to making their own and he is putting together a book on how to do it. He earlier published a book on genealogy and has offered to look up English genealogy for any member of the class interested. Rad is recovering nicely from a lesion on the optic nerve but has not been slowed down from his leadership in "doing something" about Equal Employment Opportunity in the Post Office Department here in Washington.
Heading north, Bud Kast has resigned after six years as headmaster of Hawken School (Cleveland) to become headmaster of Germantown Academy in Fort Washington, Pa.

He has continued active in professional organizations including the chairmanship of the Committee on School Administration of the National Association of Independent Schools, Country Day School Headmasters' Association and the like. Cleveland will also miss him as a trustee of the Cleveland Playhouse and member of the Advisory Committee of the Cleveland Institute of Art. Maybe we'll get him up for the fall reunions again! And while we're in the northeast, Bob Field has been elected an executive committee member of Price Waterhouse. Bob's oldest son (also Robert) is teaching at Penncrest High School near Philadelphia.
