Personal thanks to Mannie Miller who has taken time to confirm a change of address to 1530 Palisade Avenue, Fort Lee, N.J. 07024. Mannie retired as of December 31, 1973 and he and Elaine have given up their New York apartment and have moved to Fort Lee, N.J. Also, they have bought a condominium in Inverary, Lauderhill, Fla., and plan to enjoy "the best of both worlds." After a few years of "unlaxing" with golf, tennis, fishing and boating, they plan to travel extensively. Their son is currently attending medical school.

Also, special thanks to Ed Foley who has written giving news of himself, his family and two classmates -

"One of the benefits of operating a small personal business is the opportunity to continue activity beyond normal retirement in large corporations, though 1 no longer have day to day responsibilities in our dealerships for Caterpillar Tractor Co. and Towmotor Corporation. I am no longer involved in the municipal government of my residence township after some 17 years of involvement. I have found a building expansion project at our regional hospital to be most satisfying and anticipate a 20 million dollar addition will be completed in the next few months.

"Skiing, sailing, and gunning are doing their best to keep me in some kind of shape. Skiing is still largely confined to New England, with an infrequent trip to the West and Europe. I think Alta, Utah, has the most beautiful powder snow 1 have ever found. As to sailing, having sold my boat. I now cultivate friends who have boats which has afforded me the opportunity to cruise westward from Holland to Barbados, eastward from the Azores, Spain, France, England, Holland and Germany - this on a 60-foot ketch. Happily. another friend keeps his boat in the West Indies, so I have had the fun of cruising most of the Windward and Leeward Islands. My last race was to Bermuda in 1960.

"Of outstanding interest is an annual date I have had over a period of 20 years to go deer hunting down is Maine with a group including Bill Dewey and Jim Campion, before his death.

"My oldest son Jake was awarded a Master's Degree in Architecture at Yale and now lives in Cheshire, Conn. Our middle boy Kim finished a tour of duty with the Marine Corps in Vietnam and now, happily, has joined me in the Caterpillar dealership. Matt is our youngest at 12 years and attends Bancroft School in Haddonfield, N.J. Jake was the Class of '67 at Dartmouth and Kim attended the University of Denver. Both are married and have happily provided Joan and me with three grandsons.

"Jim Petrie is with M.W. Kellogg, a division of Pullman Company. After many years of residence in England he returned to the States just in time for improved relations with China, resulting in his recent frequent trips to China required by the country's need of ammonia plants which Kellogg designs and builds. Though Jim and Helen's home base continues to be Summit, N.J., I regret to say we see very little of them due to his frequent trips to the East.

"I haven't seen Walt Douglas since the Princeton game last year, but he continues to expend too much time and energy as the senior partner of his engineering firm."

Jud Pierson, as Bequest Chairman, has recommended, in his class mailing of February 8, 1974, consideration of special support of the College through Alumni Fund Endowment. A fund for this purpose can be created by bequest, life insurance, an outright gift, life income trust or other estate planned provision.

A recent letter from Jud tells of a wonderful example of such support by Alva Allen, who has made a fine life income gift to the College. The trust, which has been named in memory of Alva's late wife Eleanor, will eventually benefit' the Alumni Fund, with the annual revenue being credited to our class.
