Please note the above change in my address, which is valid until April 1. We also have a telephone, but my name is not listed in the directory; the number is 305/644-7247. Keep in touch please because news is getting rather scarce. If nothing exciting is happening to you, just write a note telling me what you did this morning.

Si Leach has been spending time on a community project called the Youth Business Learning and Development Centre Inc. Seventy per cent of its budget comes from the government, but the school is operated by supporters from the business community. They teach a 26-week course for men and women between 18 and 22 who never finished high school or who never successfully held a job for longer than six months a rather high-risk group who are receiving a second chance although they possibly may never have had a first chance.

From Betty and Dan Denham comes this travel note: "We were on the M.V. Illyria in September cruising along western Europe from Lisbon to Belgium, going in and out of rivers with shore excursions at each port. A fun trip! Prior to that we toured England, Wales, and Scotland. We enjoyed the small towns, green fields, and the hills."

Medical problems forced Connie and Tom Williams to cancel a trip to Switzerland. They spent a few weeks in Minnesota with son and family instead.

Bertha and Ted Johnson traveled to Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia this summer, Nova Scotia being Bertha's birthplace.

Working on Emerson manuscripts, Doug Wilson spent his usual summer in Cambridge, Mass., and New York City, readying Volume III of Emerson's works, of which he is textual editor. Seven more volumes to go seven more years of work.

Betty and Russ Beckwith busy themselves in Tequesta, Fla., with golf, bridge, church work, and socializing with the Oz Blisses and other Dartmouth alumni.

And, speaking of Oz Bliss, a note from him says that he and Fred Slaughter, good friends for 55 years, both had a cataract out and an implant put in on September 21. Oz says he saw Allan and Nora Wolff recently: "They are going strong."

And, speaking of Fred Slaughter, he writes: "Ruth and I are A-OK after an incredible fivemonth winter-spring junket to the south Pacific, a fine Chicago summer, and a San Francisco trip to visit daughter Anne and family. After the eye surgery I expect to again see the world through a clear lens!"

When you run into financial trouble in Hanover, the inside information is to contact Fred White, president of the Dartmouth National Bank. He is the brother of our own Bill White.

Ginny and Jim Rick bustled through Hanover in August, visiting here and there.

There has been some disquieting news from Hanover concerning the status of the ALUMNI MAGAZINE is it an alumni magazine or just another publicity organ of the College? The Class Secretaries' Association is faced with the responsibility of hiring a new ALUMNI MAG editor. I hope we get to do the job.
