1975

The mail has been pouring in, thanks in part to Cate Waddell's generous offer to send some leftovers from her outstanding newsletters. Judg- ing by the reply cards, a popular activity with quite a few classmates these days is procreation. Gib and Pat Palmer are now the parents of Christopher James, born September 23. Robert McKenney and his wife Claudia announced that their son Jason was born July 29. Fred Wardwell and his wife had a daughter Katharine on May 3- Fred has worked for Polaroid in Norwood, Mass., for the past four years. Brian and Nancy O'Sullivan became parents of seven-pound, ten-ounce Conor James on June 10. (I hope that spelling is correct. The reply card looked as though it had been used as a beer coaster in the post office.) Brian is in his second year of residency at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in Bensalem, Pa.

Judy Geer and her sister Carlie 'BO placed fifth in the women's doubles event at the world rowing championships in Munich last August, another fine performance by two first-rate athletes. Judy was a member of the 1976 and 1980 Olympic teams, as well as the national teams of 1977 and 1979. Carlie was a member of the 1980 Olympic squad. Judy also reports that she's back at the Thayer School of Engineering for her second year of studies.

Rick Paul fulfilled his promise and provided further details about his marriage and honey- moon. About all that can be repeated here is that the ceremony in Grosse lie, Mich., last July was attended by Bob Arndt, Mike Moriarty, John Larson '74, John Heywood '74, Mike Kelly '76, and Dennis Kehoe '77. The honeymoon in- cluded a night at O'Hare Airport in Chicago, due to the PATCO strike. That Rick, such a romantic. He also answered the question that has nagged all of us. Yes, his wife is now "Paula Paul."

Show business is a high-profile profession, so it is not surprising that Broadway producer Duke Hart has received a great deal of publicity. The most recent ink about Duke was found in the "People" section of the New York Daily News, which summarized a Harper's arti- cle about under-30 bachelor kingpins of finance, business, and industry. Duke found himself in heady company Alexis Du Pont Jr., John S. Swift 111, head of his family's Chicago publish- ing empire, and Adalbert Von Gontard, polo- playing vice president of a Texas oil and gas ex- ploration company. "They work hard and play hard," blared the Daily News. "They're the most eligible and the richest bachelors in America today." Now, Duke, about those class dues. . . •
