1955

At the April meeting of the 25th reunion committee, Joe Matthewson was present. He described his arrival in Boston coincident with our meeting as "serendipitous" (a word worthy of an ex-editor of the Daily D) and took advantage of the opportunity to bring the committee up to date regarding the progress of the reunion book. It should be a unique and revealing document. If any of you who have not yet responded to the questionnaire would like to be included in the final publication, it is possible that an im- mediate response might beat the deadline.

Among the events being considered for the great 25th is an exhibit of art by classmates and spouses. Those of you who haven't yet tested your dexterity have less than a year left to produce some timeless piece of sculpture or other work of art, so turn off the television and get busy.

Another event that will separate the boys from the rest of us old men will be a minimarathon which Dick Mount will organize. The committee is thinking in terms of 2.6 miles, Mount is thinking in terms of 5.5 miles (super symbolism that could prove fatal) and we hear that Gordie Russell is thinking in terms of running from California to the reunion.

A bulletin from Minneapolis beings word that Mike Buck has been appointed associate vice president and investment officer at the home office of Dain, Kalman & Quail Inc., a regional investment banking firm. Mike has been with the firm as a registered representative since 1968. Prior to joining DKQ, he had been associated with the Imperial Eastman Corporation and with Miller Fluid Power as a sales engineer.

A news item in the Massachusetts LawyersWeekly reveals that Bill Kehoe has been elected to membership in the American College of Probate Counsel, an international association of lawyers organized for purposes of modernizing and improving probate practices and procedures throughout the United States. Bill is with the prestigious Boston law firm of Gaston Snow & Ely Bartlett.

This is the last column until fall. I hope that over the summer many of you will take the time to drop us a line. It has been our objective to mention as many classmates' names as possible during our tenure as secretary. Those of you who have not been mentioned have not corresponded. I expect a huge backlog of news by fall.
