You may have noticed a change of address for your correspondent. I have been transferred back to the home office of The Travelers in Hartford, Conn., and have been given the responsibility of assisting the director of training in the group school, which is a six-month training program for new employees in the group department. Additionally, I will work on various projects related to administrative operations of the field staff.
One final note before I turn over on my back to tan the other side in this blazing March sun: the Alumni Fund campaign is almost upon us. Head agent Rick Waddell indicated to me a short time ago that the Class is well on its way to setting all kinds of records for pledges. Please don't forget your contributions. And while you're at it, drop me a line or two. See you next month.
