John's other activities include being, for the past three years, the youngest president ever of the Cortland (N. Y.)

After twelve years with Scott Paper, DickBareuther played out his option and signed on with Avon last May, and is currently working out of Newark, Del., in field sales operations.

Scott Palmer finished his Ph.D. in political science at Cornell this past spring, writing his thesis on Peruvian Military Government. He is now teaching at Bowdoin College.

A two-liner from Gordon Roeder reports a move to Germany for a year or so to teach in a Gymnasium, or secondary school. He is no doubt enjoying the change Of pace and improving his German.

I'm also grateful to Gary Ewing for taking the time to write that his first child. Kimberly. was born in June, and that he is in the ---- distribution business in Salt Lake City. Sorry, Gary, I couldn't read your writing and even the "Grated only" reference provided no clue. All of us would appreciate your filling in the blank.

Treasurer Bill Duggan timed the dues bills magnificently again this year. The late mailing last spring was due to a fire in his office, he said, but I can't imagine why he picked December this time unless he is trying to keep us off balance. Seriously though, I hope your checkbook is in balance and will allow you to respond now if you haven't already. And please don't forget to add some information about yourself for this column. I hope some news comes in or this space next month will be even shorter.
