June 15-18. '53 OUT for a family affair. We are less than 60 days away now. We are definitely heading for a record of over 1,000 classmates, wives, friends, and children. It's still not too late for you to make plans to be in our big tent on Tuck Mall.

Bill and Alice Crotty are coming from Florida with their six children. Ed Quinlan and Bay Yee are coming from Hawaii. Bob Simpson and his family are coming from Belgium. BoyerChrisman is sailing from the Virgin Islands. How about you?

Dave and Bev Halloran admit having trouble settling down. At the end of the school year they will be moving on to Orlando, Fla. Dave has accepted a job at Martin-Marietta to head up their international division. It is a fabulous opportunity but a bit distant from their condominium in Mammoth. They will be in Europe quite a bit, so maybe the Alps will have to do. Moving and graduation dates are raising obstacles, but the Hallorans plan to be at reunion.

Bob Malin has been elected to the board of Seven-Up Co. When he's un-boarding, Bob is a senior vice president at the investment banking firm, First Boston Corporation.

Dick Greene has changed jobs after seven years with the data processing and general systems divisions of IBM. He's currently with the management advisory services department of the New York office of the national CPA firm of Hurdman & Cranstoun. Dick is heavily involved with systems and data processing consulting and EDP auditing. His daughter Wendy is a freshman at Goucher. Sons Jim and Gary are at the Horace Mann School in New York City. All the Greenes will be at reunion.

Burton Bernstein recently appeared in a meet-the-author program in Danbury, Conn. He discussed the pleasures and pitfalls of writing an anthology. Burton's most recent book, Look Ma, I Am Kool! and OtherCasuals, was published this year. It is a collection of short humorous pieces, by young writers, in which the question, "What ever happened to literate humor?" is answered.

Paul Bousquet has been taking advantage of the tremendous snowfall this year. His Pittsfield, Mass., ski area, Bousquet's, is having a dynamite season. Tim Thomas and his son skied there with Paul in February.

This has really been a vintage year for skiing. Mayo and Julie Johnson wrote that it was the best ever in Pinkham Notch. And Jack andPolly Koerner reported the same about Aspen.

Kisuk Cheung has received all sorts of awards as chief of the engineering division of the U.S. Army Engineer Division, Pacific Ocean. In the fall, he was decorated for exceptional civilian service by Secretary of the Army Clifford Alexander. The award was for his strong executive leadership which was responsible for the highly professional engineering services provided to military and civilian customers having technical and unique requirements in water resources development. Under Kisuk's personal direction, the division has developed a cadre of highly qualified personnel who are outstandingly capable of meeting mission requirements. In February, Kisuk was" named 1977 Outstanding Citizen by the Consulting Engineers Council of Hawaii. Kisuk's group helps out the small island communities in Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory Islands in terms of water supply, harbor development, flood control, beach stabilization, and other projects.

That's it for this month.'We are looking forward to seeing everybody in Hanover in less than 60 days.
