Jack and Bertha Johnson celebrated the arrival of their second great-grandchild, born February 3 in Boston to Dr. and Mrs. Eric Kortz. This is their first great-grandson. Last July the baby's father started his internship at Massachusetts General in Boston. Great-grandfather and great-grandmother are doing well.

A note from Mrs. Arthur Tower advises that she had to give up teaching violin (she had ten pupils) due to a three-way coronary suffered some 14 months ago. However, she has been enjoying the extra time reading and has been aiming at a one-mile walk each day.

Bob Frothingham's wife Katherine advises that Bob had a stroke about a year ago and is still in bed; cards from classmates would be welcome. Mrs. David Hitchcock expects to be at her summer place in New London, N.H., in July and August. Son David, class of'50, is working on the Dickey Endowment and is in the U.S. Embassy in Tokoyo as public health affairs officer. He planned to return to the States for two weeks on May 23 to see his daughter graduate from Kenyon and also to spend some time in New Hampshire.

Duze and Helen Lounsberry were planning to go to Virginia the end of April to attend the marriage of grandson Robert Hirama, class of '75, to Susan Reith, Wellesley '75. They were back in Maine for a few days and did a lot of work in the garden.

Mrs. Justin McCarthy writes, "Thanks to good health I continue to live in our old house, nine rooms, big yard, greenhouse, two dogs. Play lots of bridge, do needlepoint, and make afghans for the old folks home. Say hello to Ruth Crance, who has written me so many sweet letters." She lives in Jacksonville, Fla., and says, "Y'all come and see me."

A note from Dale Barker mentioned he was planning to go to Hanover over May 6-7 for Class Officers Weekend, as were Duze andHelen Lounsberry and June and ChinkChamberlain. Dale also mentioned that Al Bull is still confined to the hospital in Lake Worth, Fla.
