1948

Remember how you used to count the number of days left until the end of the school year when you were in the fifth grade? I admit to doing the same now as the last "Class Notes" of the school year (whatever that may be) approaches. Somehow this repetition of an experience long ago, almost forgotten, is a pleasant tie with younger years and for the moment provides the distraction necessary to proceed with the notes.

Don Morrison writes that life in Colorado is more than anyone could hope for. Mo has been a branch manager for Key Savings and Loan for ten years. He and Muriel, two daughters, ages sixteen and fifteen, two dogs, two rabbits and two quarter horses live in the foothills west of Denver in Evergreen. Don belongs to the "usual" clubs, like the Republican Club, Masons, Shrine and the "unusual" Bear Creek Rodeo Association and Colorado Guides Association. He spends as much time as possible camping, fishing, skiing, riding and ten days in October as a guide elk hunting. All of this sounds fascinating but somehow "elk hunting," to those of us who enjoy hunting, is most appealing.

A brief note from Mary Cairns, wife of Walt, pretty much sums up the current activities of most of us. She says "no real news, just enjoying our five children and all that is involved in bringing them up." Mary and Walt live in Marblehead and Walt just ended his term as president of the Dartmouth Society of Engineers.

Paul Liseord was recently elected vice president and actuary for Insurance Company of North America. Paul will serve as executive officer of the Actuarial Department. He has been actuary for the New Hampshire Insurance Department, consulting actuary to the states of Maine, Rhode Island and Vermont and 20 years with Travelers Insurance Company. In 1971 Paul served as vice president of the Casualty Actuarial Society.

Jere Poole, major U.S.A.F., has graduated from the Armed Forces Staff College, at Norfolk, Va. The five-month Department of Defense School is operated under the direct supervision of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and prepares students for positions in joint and combined commands that involve more than one country or military service. Jere was previously assigned to Tan Son Nhut A B, Vietnam.

Dick Donahue was recently on a panel entitled "The Winds of Change and Philanthropic Foundations" which was presented before the N. E. Association for Hospital Development. Dick, a partner in the Lowell, Mass., law firm of Donahue & Donahue, is the youngest man ever to be elected President of the Massachusetts Bar Association. He has been interested in health affairs for .many years and is Chairman of the Merrimack Valley Comprehensive Health Planning Council and a member of the Governor's Advisory Committee on Comprehensive Health Planning. What with nine children I can see his interest in planning should be encouraged.
