1964

Greetings to all. More news about "The Count." Lance Keeler has been elected an assistant secretary in Manufacturers Hanover Trust's international division. (He takes dictation and types seven words a minute.) He had previously been a credit analyst in international corporate finance, and a territory assistant in the Scandinavian corporate banking group. Lancelot is a member of the New York Institute of Credit (as he has never paid cash for anything in his life).

Don Warneche has become a partner in Arthur Andersen & Co. (international CPA firm). He is a member of the administrative services division which provides management consulting and computer system development services. For ten of his 11 years with the firm he has been located in Charlotte, N.C., and has traveled worldwide on consulting assignments. For the last year Don and his family (wife Sarah, son Michael, and Daughter Kindra) have been living on Lookout Mountain, Tenn., overlooking Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley. He will move soon to Kong Kong for three years on assignment. His address will be c/o Arthur Anderson & Co, GPO Box 3289, Hong Kong. (That reminds me of the story of the ruptured Chinaman. . . .)

Bob and Joanne Merrill are thrilled to announce the birth of a daughter Noelle in May (eight lbs. two oz.). Bob is living in Portland, Ore., and loves the great Northwest. He says it's the other extreme of NYC.

Dr. Gus Buchtel has moved to Montreal and is married to an English girl (name not provided), has one child 18 months old, and is expecting a second child. Gus's name was mentioned recently in Time Magazine (January 8, 1978) as a contributer to the Encyclopedia ofIgnorance. This 450-page volume makes a brave attempt to encompass much of what man does not know. Say the editors, "Compared to the pond of knowledge, our ignorance is Atlantic." Gus, a physiologist, contributed to the encyclopedia by recalling that a question, asked in a classic 1950 history of experimental psychology "Where or how does the brain store its memories? That is the great mystery." - is still unanswered a quarter of a century later. (Who asked the question, anyway? Gus has forgotten. Does anyone know what all this means?).

Leonard Levitt, a Newsday reporter, won first prize in the features category, over 75,000 circulation class, New York State Associated Press Association, 1978 newswriting contest. The winning article was an account, from start to finish, of a multi-national "spy swap" - an exchange of prisoners.

Frank Loveland writes the following: "We have just had another child, a boy, David Franklin, born June 9, 1978. (We also have one daughter, Elizabeth, age three.) I have become tenured here at Gettysburg College, the first tenured anthropology professor. I will be on sabatical next year working at the Field Museum, in Chicago, and Federal Record Center, in Kansas City."

Talked to Herb McCord, Mike Dancik, and Bob Cahners, on the eve of the Harvard-Dartmouth football debacle. The topic of conversation was the flick Animal House and how it resembled our times on the plain. We all wondered whatever happened to "Bags Bergman."
