Mollie and Fred Carleton are thrilled that the New Hampshire Presidential primary is finally over. There have been politicians and newspaper reporters on every corner for several months. Enough is enough. Fred's spine continues to improve. He isn't jogging yet but swims frequently at the Dartmouth pool, where he could hardly make it two lengths to graduate 27 years ago. He has been ready for cross country skiing but the snow has not really cooperated. Mollie is in charge of the computer at the K-Ross Building Supply Center in Lebanon and Fred is doing the dealing.

Audrey and Dick Loewenthal had a super trip this fall to London and Egypt. Daughter Anne is taking her junior year abroad at City of London Polytechnic. The courses are in art, literature, and economics. As part of an internship course related to her economics major at Bates, she is working part-time at Seagram's U.K. Of course there is time for travel in Greece, Scotland, and the rest of England. After London, the Loewenthals went on a 17. day cruise up the Nile. They got to many ancient sites and gained a real appreciation for Egyptian civilization - past and present.

Dave Horlacher, professor of economics at Susquehanna University, spent five days this fall participating in an expert working group on population and development modeling at the United Nations' headquarters in Geneva. Fourteen experts from around the world were called together for the meeting, sponsored by the United Nations and the U.N. Fund for Population Activities. The purpose was to identify useful areas of research for building population models which permit developing countries to take demographic factors into account in their planning. Dave was the official reporter for the meeting and will write the group's final approach. Over the past several years Dave has worked on several international projects concerning population planning.

Mayo and Julie Johnson went on a great sailing trip with friends this summer off the coasts of Maine and New Brunswick. They sailed from Mt. Desert Island through the Grand Manan Channel to St. John, then up the St. John River to Grand Lake. It was really picturesque.

Edie and I are back together again after a second honeymoon in Italy just before Christmas. Eat your heart out, Gail Sheehy! We were lucky to hit deep powder at Cervinia, which is on the backside of the Matterhorn. A highlight was skiing over and down to Zermatt for lunch and then back up and over to Italy for tea.

That's it for this month. We can't enclose a postcard in the MAGAZINE, but we sure would appreciate hearing from you.
