1965

One way to tackle the macro aspect of fallen leaves involves pile-making, hand-transfer to container, compaction, conveyance to decomposing site, and, finally, a dose of gravityassisted decontainerization. As children we may have tested the micro-oriented technique of interleaving leaves between the pages of a large book to achieve pressing prior to waxing for preservation. With the assistance of silver halide photographic films, printing presses, and bindery technology, Dewitt Jones has combined the macro and micro approaches to dealing with post-autumnal, chlorophyll-withdrawal phenomena. Inserted among the pages of his books, via nature photographs, are thousands of leaves at one time. Following the success with the films he has created - John Muir'sHigh Sierra and Robert Frost's America, Wit now has several books to his credit - RobertFrost, A Tribute to the Source; John Muir'sAmerica; and What the Road Passes By. The latter had its origin back in 1970 during a year of cabin life in British Columbia. Years were consumed in finding quotes to define the purpose and philosophy behind the nature photographs. Many of the "misty morning" images we experienced just by our presence in New Hampshire are the substance of the Frost book.

Passages (non traumatic):

Cheryl Wunsch Behrens is completing a degree program in nursing at Altoona's Mercy Hospital while Rich continues as a partner in the Hollidaysburg law firm of Patterson, Evey, Rautch, Black and Behrens.

Moves (in order of increasing distance):

Dick Bordeau and his wife Jean have been maneuvered into a larger house and acreage by their three growing boys, which means good-by Sudbury, hello Dover, Mass. Kidder Peabody of Boston has been able to hang onto Dick as a vice president.

The U.S. Department of Transportation office has drawn Russell B. Capelle Jr. away from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, where he has been coordinator of geography. In Washington, Russ will prepare research topics, evaluate research proposals, improve dissemination of research results, and assess research impact on meeting national transportation goals.

For the next three to five years, Pete Frederick's mushroom-growing neighbors in Kennett Square, Pa., will have to forward his mail to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Du Pont has decided it is worth the cost of moving all six Fredericks to have Pete available as nylon production liaison executive for their affiliate, Ducilo.

Hanging on (a little rain):

John Newman sent in a fairly detailed letter outlining the progressive developments that have left Alan Shepard in a comatose state that has persisted since early August. At the moment he is at the Lorain, Ohio, Community Hospital. His mother, Madge Shepard, at 144 Forest Avenue, Oberlin, Ohio, could use some letters of encouragement from us. See the newsletter for more information.

So, once again, we see how time witnesses the changes in our locations and circumstances. Since only a fraction of the stories reach these pages, the class of '65 encourages you to plan now to catch our reunion on June 13-15, 1980. Only at such a happening can your story be told interactively, with others relating their own. Turn over a new leaf! Be there!
