Pete Shipman has been named executive director of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington. Roderick Hills, chairman of the SEC, said: "As the chief operating official of the Commission, Mr. Shipman can be expected to recommend and implement significant improvements in the Commission's efforts to rationalize the regulatory process. In his administrative capacity, Mr. Shipman will assist all of the Commission's operating divisions and staff offices, including our regional and branch offices, to adjust to the substantial operating burdens placed upon the Commission by the Securities Acts Amendments of 1975. Accordingly, I believe Mr. Shipman will make a substantial contribution to the Commission's effort to make its procedures more responsive to the needs of the investment community and the investing public." Pete and Joan live in Rye, N.Y., and, until his new appointment, Pete had beer, a director of William D. Ritter, Inc. of New York.

Mark Mitchell, a Boston architect, took the trouble to write a letter including information on his professional career. His current projects include the Wheaton College Library and the Massachusetts State Library, following the planning of an addition to the William Allan Neilson Library at Smith and eleven new schools for the City of Boston. Although Mark does not offer comment on the other aspects of schooling in that city, he mentions that he and his wife Sally, who is presently working on her Masters program at the Hartford School of Education, are working with their three dyslexic sons in special education programs in Cambridge. He shares the following vignette:

"We go to Vermont to ski; my son Benjamin's cat, Ms. Brewster, goes to catch mice. While in Hanover in January replacing skis broken over Christmas, the cat escaped from the car. We couldn't find her anywhere and so left her description at WDCR. All weekend, we waited for a call but finally gave Ms. Brewster up for lost. We had no sooner arrived in Vermont the following weekend than the phone rang, 'Have you lost a cat?' It was Bob Nye from the Medical School. That Tuesday, (four days after we had lost Ms. Brewster) he had been walking to work and had heard a loud meouwing and found Ms. Brewster holed up in a snow bank. She was bleeding from her nose and mouth - apparently hit by a snow plow. Bob took her to the Medical School where the services of the staff veterinarian and the Mary Hitchcock were put at her disposal. By Friday, Ms. Brewster was sufficiently recovered to leave and a final check with WDCR produced our phone number. Ms. Brewster is happily back in Cambridge much subdued. She hopes to become Frau Brewster when the snows recede and she once more ventures out into an unsnowy world. She is indeed a cat that walks by herself but I wonder if Hanover will ever be alike to her."
