1956

Ron MacKenzie is in his fifth term as State Senator and is minority whip in the legislature. A Republican, Ron acknowledges "really a minority now in Massachusetts." The MacKenzies live in Burlington and a 15-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son who are dedicated to horses and hockey respectively make up the family. Ron who is also president of the Minutemen Dartmouth Club, gives our classmate Win Bridge a lot of credit where those club activities are concerned. Ron himself is still playing hockey and sounding generally as if he and his family know how to make the most out of life in the Northeast.

What with talk of New England seceding given some of the federal government solutions to the energy problem, we may hear other than the usual friendly reports from classmates in that part of the world. Also there is former Marylander, Charlie Ellicott, who is now vice president of marketing for Rust Craft Greeting Cards in Dedham, Mass.

On the other coast in the great Northwest Eric Jensen writes that he and his family see heavy emphasis on leisure time and Eric relegates his practice of medicine to the status of hobby. Eric mentions that his daughter Susan is a junior at Mills College and "We're all busy hunting, fishing, and skiing and only playing golf when there's nothing else to do." Apparently, Eric's air force reserve activities have given him quite a lot of flying opportunity as well. The Jensens call Seattle home.

Charles P. Driscoll has a new position "creating conceptually, architecturally and financially a new children's museum in St. Paul Depot". Apparently this is part of the children's Museum of Minnesota and the Driscolls still live in Afton.

With his usual appealing candor Stew Wood writes "Remain in the inner city directing episcopal community services' program of counseling, emergency relief and residential care for runaways plus serving as rector of All Saints Church, recruiting for Dartmouth, playing hockey and falling farther behind in my correspondence."

Paul Withington updates on the pastoral life on a small farm with sheep, chickens, and horses by saying that he has turned down New York assignments three times in favor of Chicago where his livelihood is still Midwest manager of The Wall Street Journal. Apparently, Paul has not been forced to choose between making a living and life style and that is a situation to be envied.

Meanwhile back in the big city, MikeGrunebaum prospers as the general partner of the New York Hanseatic Division of Stuart Bros. The Grunebaums live in Mt. Kisco and with less business travel, Mike has more time for family (three children), skiing, and Cape Cod and Mexican vacations.
