1937

Many thanks again to you who sent Christmas cards and special acclaim to those who included notes or newsletters. Mary Lou and Bill Falion's card pictures the front entrance to their newly-built home near Denver called Bannockburn, Franktown, Colo. 80016, with occupancy after 1 February. Rachel and FredLaughton finally established a home in Pennsville, N. J., from where Fred commutes to the nuclear power plant in his little MG convertible. Rachel continues as a Kelly girl and welcomes the activity. Son Evan was married 26 December and is attending Norwich while Skip has finished Vietnam and enters Glassboro State College in January. She penned a quick note asking for news of Paul Wentworth and saying George Caldes is in the public relations department of Dupont

Back aways we told of Pat O'Sheel's return Stateside and searching for something to do. Since he was a career officer in the U. S. Foreign Service it seems only natural he ends up in Washington D. C. where he has been named Special Assistant to the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is one of two endowments comprising the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities established by Congress in 1965 and is a government agency which provides financial support for improved teaching and research, and for public programs stimulating an understanding and application of humanistic knowledge. Pat lives at 3516 Cummings Lane, Chevy Chase, Md. 20015.

Boz Bosworth has been kicked upstairs in the Will Ross outfit to Chairman of the Board. There is also talk about retirement with thoughts of a home in Florida and in the Quechee Gorge development. He reports Martha back in shape and further that they spent last Thanksgiving being Class A tourists in New Orleans with daughter Judy and husband.

We finally pried a word out of Ed Ryan and we quote: "Sorry to be newsless for so long but I am still just that! Am enjoying my job as Community Affairs Director for WTOP-TV and radio, the Post-Newsweek stations in Washington, D. C. Have recently completed a year of interesting activity as Chairman of the D.C. Health and Welfare Council. Enjoy jogging for exercise and am generally well and happy but that's about all for now."

In case it did not come to your attention, Fran Fenn has been put on the Alumni Council, has been made a member of the Alumni Fund Committee and, in view of his superb accomplishments on our Class Reunion Gift Program last winter, has been made chairman of a sub-committee handling the entire Reunion Gift Program for all classes. He is busier than ever in his insurance consulting and he and Mary took a business-pleasure trip last summer through the west and Alaska. (This is retirement? ed.)

A news release from Ripon College indicates Art Carter has been elected to the board of trustees. Art retired after 32 years with U. S. Steel in Cleveland and Pittsburgh where he was involved in cost system development and other financial management activities. Two of his daughters live in Hanover. Nancy is a registered nurse and Anne a physical education teacher. Art's family has a long history of association with Ripon.

Dave Todd pens a quick note to TomNast with his dues. Says he's still doing architecture in New York, mostly college and housing with a couple of specials in the Caribbean. His son is a freshman at Yale.

Ted Wilson tells us "Resigned as president of Allied Steel, now living in Key Biscayne, Fla. Playing with real estate investments. See no one from Dartmouth. Enjoy it very much here. Live on the water with much boating etc. Have remarried to a wonderful girl." From Orlando, Florida, Rog Holler gets us straight on the automobile business. For 25 years he has operated an Oldsmobile and a Chevrolet agency but now has turned over the Chevy agency to his son—so they are both Holler agencies. He's also proud to say his two children have produced five grandchildren.

We hear Rog Allen is back in good shape again and that Al Mayer is making excellent progress. Please, everybody, keep well and healthy.
