1969

Before we digress to the totally ridiculous, let me inform all '69 lovers that the Peter Beekman has joined the list of marital merrymakers. Pete tricked the former Delly Markey into negotiating their nuptials on February 25 in Summit, N.J. Both Pete and Tilly (sorry, Delly) labor for the National Newark and Essex Bank (but you know Delly, so don't teller).

Tom Gilmore, also in Summit, but uninvited to Pete's wedding, now acts as manager of computer mathematics for the Pharmaceuticals Division of CIBA-GEIGY Corporation. Tom evidently puts on a good show. Prior to joining CIBA, Tom researched science for Squibb.

Pete Komaneeky spies report that Pete has his Ph.D. in romance languages from John Hopkins and now is off to an assistant professorship in Spanish and Portugese at UWisc. Pete should now have time for some romance.

Tom Herman writes out of Harrisville, N.H., where, with Rip Hale '72, Mike Tracy '73, and Phil Catchings '73, he has established a group foster home at the Antioch Graduate School of Education. With his letter, Tom enclosed an excellent brochure on The Workshop, the name of the Home.

Allan Rogers, whose picture last appeared here in October 1971 upon his appointment as assistant treasurer, U.S. Government Securities, Bankers Trust Company, New York, appears again, having been elected a vice president in the same department. Allan joined the bank in 1970, and was successively made assistant treasurer and assistant vice president. A member of the virginia Bond Club, he lives with wife Deborah in Montclair, N.J.

Now for the absurd, the half truth, and the lie.

Where is Scott Breen? In Albany, transplanting. Noel Cain lives in a pecan grove in Ruston, La., where he's going nuts. Larry Carter breeds aardvark in Ardmore, Pa. Dave Elgethun either is learning or has learned the finer points of drilling for gold at Harvard's School of Dental Medicine.

Edward W. Merrow has started a TV show in Titusville, N.J. John Bruce knits scarves in L.A. Mike Carr hasn't left Hanover yet. Dan Cooperman rides quarterbacks in Chicago. Max Davis, the would-be surgeon's middle name is Spurgeon. Steve Larson does his thing out of Ridgewood, N.J., where, rumor has it, it's not as hard as it used to be. If you're in Birmingham, Ala., look up Bob Norvich, who must be lonesome.

If I don't receive a few epochal epistles, I threaten to allow the column to degenerate.
