Christmas came a few days early for Dennyand Bonnie Speidel. Their son Rob received early admissions for the Class of 1980. They had a big celebration with Jack and Jody Zimmerman. WAH-WHO-WAH!
Arlene Bloomer wrote that Tom has really been busy up in Greenwich, Conn. He headed a committee to find a new rector for their Episcopal Church and found a super one. Now he is chairman of the nominating committee for next year's vestry. He is very active in the Boy Scouts as an assistant scout master. Last spring, Tom was the oldest player returning for the annual alumni lacrosse game, although I don't know how long it took him to recover. He is still in government sales with IBM.
Rollo Heyman's son Mike stayed with Annand Scrib Fauver in Elyria, Ohio, when the Dayton school was visiting Lake Ridge in Elyria for basketball. Hospitality only extends so far; Scrib Jr.'s team won the game.
Anita Calkins writes that Dick's law firm of Burdett and Calkins now has 25 lawyers and is moving to larger space. Dick still enjoys teaching a few classes at John Marshall Law School, but makes time to catch all of the activities of Chrissie, 11; Tad, 9; and Kathie, 5.
Dick Collins was one of the guests of honor at the annual meeting of the Gridiron Club of Greater Boston. You will recall that Dick's school, Andover, won the Division II championship last year.
John Dodge reports that Quail Ridge has sold more than $1 million in villas, townhouses, and garden apartments in the last three months. These sales were during the usually slow summer months. Apparently, there is more optimism about the future of the economy in this country according to John. A lot of people feel the worst is over and they've been getting a lot of referral business from persons who are already pleased they bought there. As a result, Quail Ridge is going ahead with more construction. Gardnar Mulloy has been appointed director of tennis there and George Burns was named touring professional.
Bob Chaloner is still in the general practice of medicine in Coxsackie, N.Y. He says that he feels like a freshman again with his son Bob in the Class of '79. Still at home are two girls in high school and one in the first grade. Bob has visited the College several times and is really impressed with all of the new facilities, but feels strongly in favor of retaining the Indian symbol and retaining a limit on the number of females at Dartmouth - from a father of three daughters.
Dave Salter continues in the venture capitol business in Montreal. One project he has spent a lot of time on in the last year is a company that is developing an electric car for urban and suburban use. He feels the company should be located in the U.S. because that is where the market is. It needs financing. Any takers?
On a recent winter Saturday afternoon in Hanover, there was an unannounced class reunion at the Inn Corner.

How's that for spontaneity?

And speaking of news, let us hear from you.
