1962

Things have been pretty slow for the past few months. That coed decision take all the interest out of you?

In this, our tenth reunion year, we have experienced a recent tragedy. Bruce McCollom died suddenly in N. Y. on Feb. 2. A formal notice will appear in the next issue of the Magazine.

Located just ten miles down the road in Dover, N. H., is John Coe who is the new executive director of the N. H. Commission on the Arts. John has been the assistant to the Dean at the College of Liberal Arts at the University of New Hampshire. Previously John worked extensively in the arts in New Hampshire and in Ethiopia where he served four years with the Peace Corps.

The Boston Globe has informed me that John Winchester finally came around. In December John was married to Sallie Jean Thurber. John and Sallie are now living in Sudbury, Mass. Anything to add, John?

Bill McDonald has been appointed general attorney for New England Telephone in Boston. Most recently an attorney for the company, he will continue to be responsible for all aspects of labor relations and employment law, including minimum wage and equal opportunity laws. Bill, who earned his LL.B. from Boston College and his LL.M. from Georgetown, began his legal career seven years ago as a field investigating attorney with the U. S. Labor Relations Board in Los Angeles. He served in Okinawa and Thailand with the U. S. Army and at the Pentagon in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army, and later as a captain in the Judge Advocate General's Corporation. He has been admitted before the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, the U. S. Court of Claims, the U. S. Court of Military Appeals, and the U. S. Supreme Court.

It's been about two years since I last heard of Frank Kehl. It's good to report that Frank has surfaced once again. He's now tracking down his Ph.D. in anthropology at Columbia University. Frank spoke in December at Vassar College concerning his trip to Mainland China. Last summer Frank made a month-long visit to the People's Republic of China with the Committee of Concerned Asia Scholars. Frank and his wife (a Hong-Kong native) have been very interested in Chinese affairs for the past few years, and Frank has even directed a documentary film on traditional Chinese Religions. Sounds as if Mr. and Mrs. Kehl would be a big help in DonSamuelson's reunion plans.

A corporate promotion was recently earned by Clifton Smith. Cliff is now director of Business Planning at Itek Business Products in Rochester, N. Y. Cliff has been with the company since 1964 and lives with his wife Dyane and their two children in Victor, N. Y.

That's all she wrote for this month. Just no material left. This happens occasionally. In the past I've gone to the "Aegis" and used some literary license. However when I located someone in Seattle with wife Mary, real wife Elizabeth wrote from Atlanta questioning my source.

So gentlemen, while you're sending those cards to the reunion committee telling them your plans, drop me a note too. It just might save you some embarrassment.
