It's always a pleasure to report happy events and marriages are the very best so I'm delighted to report that Mark Ginsberg took Sara Jane Taylor as his bride on July 8, 1973. Sara is a teacher of art and elementary education as well as a doctoral candidate at NYU. Congratulations and best wishes to both of you. Mark and Sara live in the New York City area. Mark has his own stainless steel business in Flushing.

Several items of interest in the military section of our class. Jim Waldman is a lieutenant colonel stationed near Anchorage, Alaska. He has decided to extend his tour there until June 1975 and would enjoy visiting with any 55's visiting there. Major Tom Partridge transferred from Alaska to Thailand last May. While he doesn't think it's the best place in the world to be, things were peaceful when he wrote in the fall. Walt Lamb is now at Wright Patterson Air Base, Ohio. He was recently promoted to lieutenant colonel. Lt. Col. Bill Gavitt recently received an M.S. in Economics from South Dakota State University and is now stationed at March Air Base, Calif. He is chief of the Missile Management Training Division for the 15th Air Force. President Kemeny has appointed a group to study the question of ROTC at Dartmouth. Those who haven't provided their views yet should do so now.

Cynthia Torroella, daughter of Luis and Carole, is a member of the class of 1977 at Dartmouth. Many of you will remember that Carole worked at Baker Library during our senior year and Cynthia was becoming evident at that time. Al Root has moved from Pennsylvania to St. Petersburg, Fla., to become director. University Service at All Children's Hospital. DougArchibald is now a professor of English at Colby College, Me. John Bassette lives on the Ottaquechee River in Vermont where he is working for the Quechee Lakes Corporation. The home is an old one located on Route 4 west of White River.

Previously he had been in publishing with Time as public affairs director and more recently as associate publisher of Investing Magazine where he headed up its recent successful launching.

Art Boudreau's new position with Rockwell International in Pittsburgh was reported last month. He left the Department of Commerce for a year to work for Rockwell International Corporation in Pittsburgh. His picture came in a bit late last month but since most of you haven't seen him since 1952 I thought you would enjoy seeing how little he has changed, as befits a West Pointer and former test pilot.

Both Bob Blanehard and Lew Wolfson are professors at American University in Washington. Bob kindly forwarded a University News release about Lew's work on a study about the news media's freedom to report on government. Lew acted as director for a team of 20 National Press Club members, graduate students, and recent alumni of American University's Public Affairs Journalism program. The study is quite critical of the Nixon administration's handling of accessibility to information. Copies of the report may be obtained for $2 each from the Department of Communication, The American University, Washington, D.C. 20016.

He will have corporate responsibility at Continental in the environmental area and is very pleased to be part of a company with a deep commitment to conservation.

As members of the Club's board of directors Chuck Hulsebosch, Joe Mathewson, and I can attest to Don Hummel's outstanding leadership as president of the Dartmouth Club of Chicago. For his work Don was recognized in Hanover as Dartmouth Club President of the Year for 1973. He was cited particularly for the club's excellent record in enrollment. Incidentally, Chuck is the chief financial officer for Libby, McNeil and Libby in Chicago.
