1952

Only the Super Bowl and the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the National Basketball championships stand between the present and springtime. Springtime gives rise to summer and that, my friends, means 20th Reunion time!

Incidentally, Bill Montgomery kindly informed me of a boo-boo that I made in the December issue concerning credit for the Reunion logo. The artistic expertise was handled by Dancer, Fitzgerald and sample courtesy of PeteMcSpadden our fine publicity chairman. Sorry for the goof, Pete, and thanks for the correction, Bill.

Now for a play-by-play of the reaction to Bill's initial mailing and preliminary survey of who's first to be counted in and from where.

There are indications of 105 definite returning grads, 101 wives and 199 children. In addition we have "possibles" of 66 grads, 59 wives and 130 children. Not bad for the first go-around.

Let's take a look at some who are making the long but happy trek back to "Camelot." Both AlJackson and Al Fiertz from Geneva, Switzerland, are "definites"! Jackson is getting married in April (for the first time) and says Hanover will be his "second honeymoon." Paul Loo is "swimming" UP from Honolulu, Vince Jones from Los Angeles, Dr. Ray Alexanian from Houston, BillConway from New Orleans, "Tank" Creamer and Brud Leiter from Kansas City, John Doty from Miami, Jim Flom from Detroit, DickHollingsworth from Quebec, "Bucky" Linman from Georgia, Joe Ware from Alabama and, of course, masses of people from all the MidAtlantic and Northeastern states.

On the list of possible returnee's are GeorgeClendon from North Carolina, Jack Clow from San Francisco, John Crowell from Portland, George Gibson from Denver, Brook Lewis from Houston, John McGuire from Dallas, Reg Pierson from Houston, George Rosenberg from California, Lee Schacht from Minnesota, Ed Smuckler from Seattle, Dr. Bill Stafford from Los Angeles, Dave Sunderland from Colorado, "Met" Taylor from Ft. Lauderdale, Jim Churchill from San Francisco, and many from the Chicago area.

The word is out, you guys who haven't replied, SO let's get with it!
