In these days of woman's lib, two '35 daughters are cutting a wide swath in what used to be a man's profession, ChuckDineen's gal, Mary Ellen, does the "color" commentary for Northwestern University basketball games over radio station WEAW. A fellow journalist, Rick Talley of the Chicago Daily News, paid her this compliment "Mary Ellen is the only female basketball announcer I have ever met, and certainly the prettiest. 36-25-36!"

Chuck's son, Bill, is a senior at Hanover and a star hammer thrower intent on making the Olympics. As many of you know, the Dineens have quite an athletic tradition. Chuck's Dad, now dead, was Big Bill Dineen, who pitched for the Boston Red Sox and later was a niajor-league umpire.

Our other tradition-breaking '35 daughter is Ed Neff's girl, Alice. She is a TV newscaster, just back from Southeast Asia where, Ed reports "she commuted between Saigon and Pnom Penh, while assuring us all the time that she was perfectly safe." Ed himself is assistant public relations (director for the Republican Campaign Committee in Washington and "heavily immersed in promoting GOP efforts toward revenue sharing, welfare reform, etc."

Dean Couper, who forwarded me the dope on the Dineens, writes that his son, Frank '6B, was married in December and is now based in Portsmouth, N. H., with the coast guard. Dean and Mabel headed for Florida in mid-February, and are spending the balance of the winter there.

Harry Knott writes, that "Both our Olympic daughters have retired from track. We vacation at Wellfleet on Cape Cod each June, and will make reunion if at all possible." Harry is a manufacturer's rep in Columbus, Ohio, handling several lines of western clothing, jewelry, shoes, and stationery. Beverly is teaching school, and "we're nothing but busy."

Many '35ers played key roles in helping the Third Century Fund exceeded its goals, but Woody Curtiss deserves special mention. He led the entire country in participation index—-11%. That's a tremendous achievement, Woody, particularly at a time when the economy was hurting.

Hall Colton has passed along the news that his old roommate, Harry Price, is still teaching history at Albany State (N.Y.). Harry's wife, Ume, also is a teacher, and daughter Ellen, is working for the New York city department of probation.

Ed Mitchell writes from Paris that "Don Radash and his wife visited us upon their return from a great safari. We are trying to make plans for reunion, but mother is ill in Florida and we cannot decide anything." Cam Duncan writes from San Antonio "Sure hope we can make reunion. Our two boys are married and gone. Only two teenage girls at home. I wonder why I say 'only.' They're about all Vevie and I can manage at our venerable age!"

4 startling note from Biddy Chase. "Haven't had a drink since Nov. 26. Dan Reagan and I wefe mpst welcome New Year's Day. All hosts amazed. timg in 37 years without seeing eye dog on January 1." Biddy passed along the surprising news that Maury Heller, an expert skier, fell off the T-bar lift at the Dartmouth Skiway and tore ligaments in his knee.

Lowie Haas writes "Had a small reunion with Dud Russell and Bill Bury. Dud was in town (Washington) for a Department of Transportation conference, and we persuaded Bill to miss his nightly commute to Annapolis."

Congratulations to Bob Bonner on being named chief of surgery at St. Mary's Hospital in Waterbury, Conn. Bob has been on the staff there since 1945, and currently is president-elect. His dad, incidentally, still is a member of the consulting staff (obstetrics) in the same hospital ... at age 81.

Bob Collins' widow, Jo, has remarried. She is now Mrs. James B. Boyle, and living in Pasadena. We wish her much happiness. Peter Day's wife, Lorraine, reports that one of his books is a religious best-seller. Title: "Saints on Main Street.," Peter continues as Ecumenical Officer of the Episcopal Church.

Jack Zimmerman is now in his 35th year with Sears, as merchandise manager of two Sears Catalog Surplus stores in the Boston area. "Both daughters are graduates of Boston University; Elinor, married, with a 5-year-old daughter, and Gail a school teacher,"

With a freshman son in Hanover, Larry Davis writes proudly, "Michael made the Dean's list first term. Must be a hell of a lot easier now than in 1931-35! He gave up sports (was captain of basketball, soccer, and golf in high school) to concentrate on the books, but plans to go out for soccer aad swiifijping next year!"

Larry himself is superintendent of schools at Castleton-on-Hudson, N: Y. He recently retired from the Naval Reserve, where he held the rank of Commander. For those of us who seem to be slowing down, Larry writes "Still keep active physically. Swire over a mile every day—non-stop. Play golf all summer, and ski nearly every weekend when snow is available."

One final item. Mac McMullen reports ''By the time jye return to Hanover for reunion, we will have just finished getting #2 girl, Joan, launched into matrimony. Our oldest, Barbara, lives in Springfield where her husband supervises New England franchise operations for Burger King. Our youngest, David, is now in Mitchell College in New Haven."
