Bob Filderman communicated from Houston that, in July of 1977, he was selected to plan and develop a unique retail sales operation con- centrating on financial planning and financial services for E. F. Hutton and Company. As he describes it: "We opened for business in early 1978 and I have been on a hectic pace traveling throughout the United States recruiting in- dividuals to help me build this operation. I missed the reunion because of this professional preoccupation, but hosted Micky Cohen in Houston several months ago while he attended a medical convention. Hopefully, my wife and I will be able to take in a football game in Hanover this fall to see some of the other 's9ers."

John Ferries wrote from New York with the announcement that he and his family are mov- ing to Brussels, Belgium, this coming summer. "Benton and Bowles has just named me manag- ing director of our European operations. This means I will be responsible for the 11 adver- tising agencies in Europe, with annual revenues around $3OO million. It is a great opportunity. As far as our family is concerned, the good news about the move is the once-in-a-lifetime experience we anticipate having together in Europe. The bad news, however, will be our sobering introduction to gasoline at $3.15 a gallon and food and housing at astronomical prices. Even Belgium endive and Brussels sprouts (ouch!) are outta sight. C'est la vie. Our children, twin boys aged six and a daughter aged five, are excited, but mostly about the air- plane or QE2 trip. They are young enough to adjust to the move easily and will undoubtedly be spouting the French way before Donna and me. I hope there are some 's9ers in Brussels I can look up. I also extend an invitation to any 's9ers to come visit us in Brussels combine it with a skiing vacation in the Alps. At least we can guarantee more snow than there was this past winter in New England. Maybe by the time we get back, the Big Green will have won another Ivy championship or two and my beloved Red Sox will have finally won a World Series. Let's hope."

Another press release, this time from Green- ville, S.C., features David Heine, who joined the Texize division of Morton-Norwich on March 1 as vice president of Texize International.

Goody Gilman reveals that he is alive and well in Newport, Maine, where he is employed by the Gilman Electrical Supply Company. He comments, "My family recently took a week's ski trip to Salt Lake City, where we skied sur- rounding mountains including Sundance near Provo. This solved the lack of snow in the Northeast U.S.A. this winter! Along with me were my wife Sheila and children, Gayle, 17, Andrew, 15, and Matthew, ten. I have seen few classmates since last year's reunion, and if anyone is in Maine vacationing, please stop in."

Walt Vincent wrote that after more than 20 years in labor relations and personnel work with a utility, two manufacturing concerns, and a major casualty insurer, he has decided to give up the corporate life and set up his own shop Human Resources Associates. This firm win specialize in executive search and personnel consulting. He commented, "As the new guys on the street, our reception thus far has been most encouraging. In the land of bureaucracy and red tape which spills over into the private sector as well, there is a great demand for a practical approach to consulting in the per- sonnel disciplines." We wish you luck, Walt. On the personal side, he reported that his family truly enjoyed the 20th reunion and the opportunity to see how much everyone else had changed "all for the better of course!" He has also had the opportunity to do some local interviewing of Dartmouth hopefuls and quipped, "I am certainly glad I'm not com- peting for a slot against these kids." Walt looks forward to the fall reunion in Williamsburg, Va., and hopes the football team will have its act together, "or it is going to be a long winter with these ACC fanatics."

I hope some of you others will drop me a line soon. In the meantime, happy summer to ill!
