About 800 people were there and President Kemeny gave an excellent talk. The new football coach, Jake Crouthamel '6O was excellent also. Lew says that with a line averaging 250 lbs., the situation doesn't look too bad.

President Jack Kenerson and Fran just got home the end of March after vacationing in Arizona and Florida. They saw Hodand Vi Carver in their home in Green Valley, Ariz.; they have made Green Valley their legal address and sold their property and boat at Vinalhaven, Me.
The Kenersons then moved over to Naples, Fla., where they saw a lot of friends, then drove up the West coast and visited Jack's brother, David '37, who is an assistant professor in the Business Management division of the University of Florida. They stayed at the Lido Biltmore at Sarasota where they found Jack Waller as assistant manager. Jack has been in the hotel business since college, and will go with the management to the Bald Peak Colony Club at Melvin Village, N. H., this summer. While in Sarasota they _ had a reunion with Don and Billee Solis, who have just bought a house there, and with John and Ethel Nixon who were on holiday at the Three Crowns, a new highrise on the Lido Beach.
Bill Carrico thanked us for his birthday card and said he is "as retired as a real estate man can get with his boots on," and is moving to 1415 Green Mount Blvd., Rockford, Ill. He plans to keep busy with his green house and garden.

Van Curll of Covina, Calif., says retirement is really a great way of life. He sold his truck trailer equipment business in 1968 and got involved in a little antique furniture business "which is highly unprofitable but fascinating." It doesn't take too much of his time so he and Dorothy managed to get their three daughters and their husbands and three grandchildren together at daughter Jessie Jensen's home near Grants Pass, Ore., for Christmas. No trips planned other than to visit their daughter who lives in Berryville, Va.
Joining the ranks of the retired are George Lee, vice president of the H. D. Lee Co. of Kansas City, Mo., now living in Shawnee Mission, Kan., and Dr. WillisMitchell of Toms River, N. J. Mitch writes that he and Grace have been in Dunedin, Fla., for six months building a home, but will return to the Jersey shore in May. Mitch had played golf the day before he wrote with Art Keleher '27 who has a home in Dunedin.
Americans are just going to have to learn to live with inflation as a way of life, according to John Lyman, vice president of the Security Title Insurance Co., who was addressing a Rotary Club in Los Angeles. John's statement was based on his belief that the only way to stop the spiral is for the government to stop spending more than it takes in, but he says the American people do not have the determination and self denial required to stop inflation.
