Shep Wolff advises that class dues have been coming in very well, with only a little over 100 still unpaid. Not only is your money welcome, of course, but the scraps and bits about yourself that you jot on the back of the bills are a gold mine for Parker Soule and for me. Keep up the good work.

Arnie Rich writes: "Sally and I took April, May, and June off in Chicago prior to moving to California in July. We loved it in Irvine, Calif., but Santa Barbara is even better and this will be permanent."

From Jim Swift a correction of a mistake I made about the Florida get-together. It is to be held at Deerfield Beach, not Daytona as I had said. Deerfield Beach is in the Fort Lauderdale area, Jim says.

"I'm becoming quite accustomed to retirement," says Bob Wallace, "dividing the 12 months between Montclair and Delray Beach, Fla., and enjoying a good bit of golf in each place."

Jack Cunningham was looking forward to the opening of the grouse season in Ohio in October. He says, "My dog is now 14 and I may be able to keep up with him. We also hope to have some quail on the farm as we had a covey of about 30 that wintered in the barn lot."

Ted Johnson from Falmouth, Me., thinks it's going to be a long, cold winter. Irv and GertrudeBettman visited them recently.

Charlie Roberts says, "Still busily practicing medicine and will be for ? years, and loving it."

I hope you all noticed that Dick Holbrook broke into print in the October AlumniMagazine twice, once with a letter to the editor on the Indian symbol, and again in the book review section with a review of a book on the sound recording industry.

Having decided he has worked long enough, Ned Rosen is trying retirement. "So far so good," he says, "for how long we'll see." He plans to be in Florida in February.

Howie Mason has notified his board of educa- tion that he plans to retire in June, 1975 and is interested in a part time job in a college faculty. He has just completed a year as commander of the Middletown (Conn.) Power Squadron. Howie and Isabella are spending some time rehabilitating Isabella's "ancestral home" in Wilton, N.H., occupied by her family since 1770.

Some people have all the luck. BrantMcCullouch has just spent ten days on the Mississippi River on the Paddlewheeler Delta Queen. He says he learned to play the calliope. Wish I could say that.

Swede Nelson is still banging away at ye golf ball. He reports he scored 37-43 for an 80 in a recent tournament and "won the gonfalon. Those good games still come up once in a while."

Jim Rice says: "Had a wonderful 10-day sightseeing trip around the Chuchanut Drive near Bellingham, Washington, then up the Frazer River gorge, to Jasper National Park and Banff and Lake Louise, down to Glacier National Park and on to Spokane's fair and then home. The Canadian Rockies are magnifi- cent; almost overwhelming."

Here's another candidate for PTA president; Art Kyle's five-year old started school the day after Labor Day. Can you top this?

Frank P. McCord still insists that life in West Copake, N.Y., continues to be unbelievably pleasant, but he doesn't go into details.

George Stevens still teaching on a year-to-year basis. He says, "I've been thinking about taking up golf, but so far it's mostly thinking. Played 18 holes in Hawaii and shot 120! First time I had played for years - obviously I need practice." Maybe we should team George up with Swede Nelson.
