1957
A welcome note from an obviously happy Don Cowlbeck who is based in Houston with Ogilvy Mather, Inc.:
"Since we now have the penthouse floor, it's vaguely reminiscent of New York days, but minus the dirt, noise, taxes and general hassle.
"Do I love Texas? Does a bear live in the woods? Really great people in a booming area hemmed in only by the Atlantic, the Pacific and that funny country up north, there. Gail shares my enthusiasm and our two-year-old lady, Courtney, has sprouted a distinct southwestern accent and gait.
"About the only bad thing that's happened down here was my busting my leg playing basketball, one week before we went to Vail with Don and SusanHutchins. Gail and Hutch and the muchpregnant Susan had a ball out on the slopes while I hobbled around in a stupid cast trying to explain to sympathetic souls that it is too possible to wreck yourself playing basketball, if you're just clumsy enough.
"Was fascinated by Jim Barnes' recent letter [March, 1972 column]. I, for one, salute my old roommate for his selection of life-style."

Dick Perkins, executive vice president and treasurer of Land/Vest, Inc., addressed the annual meeting of the Appalachian Mountain Club in Boston. He said relief from population pressures probably will come from a combination of factors: making new uses of land, building new communities, and rejuvenating old rural communities, all with the goal of achieving quality environment. He noted that northern New England is in the unique position of being within an easy day's drive for 60 million people, adding, "That pressure speaks for itself."
From Pennsylvania comes word that Walt Burgin, a Harrisburg native and presently an instructor in mathematics at Phillips Exeter Academy, has been appointed Headmaster of Mercersburg Academy, effective July 1.
