Dave Cook, George Southwick and Joe Stevenson and their wives represented the Class at Officers Weekend in Hanover last month. Dave reports that the affair was well attended and that the key points in the weekend discussions were reported to the Alumni in the May newsletter from the President.

Joe Stevenson, who was in Hanover as a member of the Alumni Council representing the Class Presidents Association, has just moved his family to Wilton, Conn. His offices with Chesebrough-Pond's Inc. will soon be relocated in Connecticut.

Gene Booth is involved in some "very rewarding" personnel work with the Carroll Cable Division of Aunet in Providence, R. I. Gene is in charge of training disadvantaged employees, most of whom are semiskilled workers. Over the past year, Gene has processed more than 300 workers, with a retention rate of 50%. Gene and family live in Weston, Mass.

Peter Nessen has a good deal going in Boston. A year ago, Peter and his brother founded The March Company which ferrets out and packages real estate tax shelter investments in federally subsidized housing projects. Peter has already put together several limited partnership ventures—the minimum per-investor share in such ventures is $20,000. Peter was formerly with Price-Waterhouse in New York.

Richard Perkins is executive vice president of Land/Vest, Inc., in Boston. Dick has been the man most responsible for the recent public offering by that firm of $4,000,000 of limited partnership interests in undeveloped or "raw" land in New England. Such an offering is apparently quite unique in the real estate field and Dick has labored for well over a year with attorneys, underwriters and S.E.C. officials to prepare the offering. Among other projects, Land/Vest is involved in a new condominium complex at Crotched Mountain in Francestown. N. H.

Clifford Olds, Professor of Art at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has become one of the nation's leading authorities on the art of Albrecht Dürer. Herr Dürer's 500 th birthday was celebrated in 1971 and Clif passed up our 15th reunion last spring for a free trip to Nuremberg, Germany to attend a major Dürer exposition.

That's it for now. Keep those notes coming and have a good summer!
