1959
The respite from deadlines is over which along with the arrival of Labor Day makes me realize that another summer has gone by, and aside from some stitches in Doug's knee, briefly losing Lisa on the beach, and suffering through a few painful rounds of golf we had another enjoyable vacation. Hope you did too.

Its nice to know someone reads this department. Apparently the bit about Dr. Dave Viscott on the June Column prompted John Greppin to write Dave a letter, which John asked me to forward. He was kind enough to report that he finally finished his Ph.D. in Indo-European Studies with a specialty in classical Armenian, adding that his first book entitled Initial Vowel andAspiration in Classical Armenian will be published shortly in Vienna. He supposes the publisher will print only 500 copies to keep losses low - where's the old optimism, John. No other personal information was supplied except that he lives in New Orleans.
Nick Monsour, chairman of the Social Studies Department at Rim High in Lake Arrowhead, Calif., and instructor at San Bernardino Valley College, has been included in the 1973 edition of Outstanding Secondary School Educators of America.

In the political arena, John Burkhardt was recently appointed to the office of deputy executive vice president of the American Road Builders' Association which involves a move to Washington, D.C.
It's not too early to remind you that '59s 15th will be upon us soon. Celooz (rhymes with booze) will keep us posted with timely communications, but make a note of the June 14-17 dates and plan on coming. I'm sure he will welcome suggestions providing they are received early on.
And a plea of my own - please take a moment to drop me a line - I am in great need" of information for this column as the usual summer influx of news did not materialize.
