Recent news includes the fact that Lew English is back on skis. His wife Connie writes that he broke his ankle skiing December 31, 1971, spent three months in various casts and was back on skis December 30,1972. Lew and Connie's daughter Betsy (their youngest) is being married in March to Jack Sheffield of Stonington, Conn. Son Andy is still at the University of Massachusetts and daughter Sue works at Eastern Mountain Sports in Boston. Sticking with the Northeast - and for those who may have mis- sed it in Herb Marx' Clanging Bells - John and Fran Goode bought the Chieftan Motel in September and are enjoying the Hanover scene.

Also ran into BobField at lunch here a few weeks back when he was down from New York on a one day trip.

Class treasurer Paul Young is pleading for payment of class dues, a bargain at $10. Paul writes that Bud Lasser and Judge Barlow have already signed up for rooms for the Fall Reunion on October 12-13; that Church and Dottie Leonard hope to have the Class stop at their house for a "tailgating" party before the game; and that Edand Dottie Lider are planning a Brunch Party at their new house in the Eastman development just off 1-89 in Grantham, N. H. A word to the wise: start planning now.

Keep the news flowing.
