Jack Sugden has built eight rental cottages on his property at Newfound Lake, Bristol, N.H., since he retired in 1970 from N.E. Tel. & Tel. Now he is winterizing them so that next winter they can rent them to the ski crowd. Peg and he are in good health, busier than ever and really enjoying life. They run a small advertising business, Norfolk Sales, Inc., from their home in Milton, Mass., and have visited California and Puerto Rico during the winter for the past three years. They enjoyed seeing Harry and LibBennert at the 50th reunion of their class at Metheun (Mass.) high school and visited with them twice since them.

Ed Norton, only '28er with a son at Dartmouth, says J.E. Jr. '77 is making out well and likes Hanover as much as his old man did.

In the December notes we asked how many still have their senior canes. Bill Williams not only has his, he uses it every day when he takes his two-mile morning walk in Fort Washington, Pa. Cyrene reports he is so busy in his retirement that he doesn't have the time to do all the things he wants to do.

Jim Hardy writes from Daytona Beach, "I'm still unmarried, still playing lots of tennis and golf. Have been to the West Indies three or four times - my favorite spot is Haiti in spite of the poverty there. Should I ever leave here Haiti would be my destination."

Jessie Barry, Frank's widow, writes, "My job (Health Physics Division of Yale University) keeps me busier and busier, and this Division has grown tremendously since I started ten years ago. The AEC keeps us hustling, and the 250 investigators using radioactive material at the University and Medical School grows rapidly."

Vedder Hughey's chin beard came out white so his friends in Miami call him colonel. He has remarried and his new wife Kathleen is a nationally acclaimed astrologer. Vedder's son is a law professor in Portland and his daughter is married and lives in New York City.

Our second son Doug is happy that he was accepted for one of three openings in the third year class at the Medical School of the University of Texas at Galveston.
