1956

Thanks to Dr. Lyman Milliken '27, Annapolis, Md., we learn that Gordon Lend will become the first headmaster of the 67-year-old Roland Park Country School which is located near Baltimore. Gordy had previously been headmaster of a coeducational institution in Kansas City although Roland Park's Board Chairman states emphatically that there are no plans for coed enrollment. A news account in the Baltimore Sun suggests that Gordy will have considerable latitude in adding to the school's curriculum, which appears to be the principal attraction for him.

Marion Gribble is the first secretary to the U.S. Embassy in Vienna and the U.S. Alternate to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization. In the latter capacity he planned to spend three weeks in March in Lima as a delegate to the Second General Conference. The Gribbles' have a son Mark who is a freshman at Roanoke College in Virginia and daughters Sharon and Kari are at the International School in Vienna.

John Liebman writes from Encino, Calif., that 1974 was a mixed event. "Lost my Dad in August, but our kids are doing great. Mark is 5'9" and sings bass in school choir; Scott (12) is getting his orthodontia which along with home repairs threatens to put me into bankruptcy. Our daughter (10) so far has not manifested any of the adolescent symptoms yet! Still practicing law in Westwood (near UCLA) and just returned from 10 days in East - nice to be back in warm weather."

Len Clark, after two years as an entrepreneur, is pondering the possibility of just taking off to paint or photograph Tahitian women or something very unbusinesslike for a change. His own company, American House Doctor, was set up, as I understand it, to provide the service of making it necessary for the home owner to call only one number for virtually any service required, i.e., plumber, carpenter, or locksmith. Without going into details Len laments the conditions of the economy and states a very believable wish for a simpler world. Apparently he heard from Ben Taylor who had caught a 28-pound Chinook or King Salmon in Northern California in the Smith River on a 5½ rod. Len's comment was that any one of us could be cheered by the thought of such a good adventure.
