On February 2, a Connecticut Valley contingent met at Connecticut General in Hartford, with Rick Lyman acting as host at a very economical steak luncheon.

Marty Lower arrived late from Boston after a morning of negotiations on the purchase of a new business located in Ludlow, Mass. Marty indicated that he felt right at home with his new group of neighbors.

On February 24, Gene and Judy Kohn gave what was billed as a beer and pretzels blast but turned out to be a full-fledged cocktail party.

Bill is now heading up Far East operations for First National Bank of Boston.
