Don Folkers Currently resides in MounUpton, N. Y., where he works as a program mer/analyst for an upstate New York bank and teaches data processing courses in his spare time. He writes that "daughter Jennifer is starting at Mount Holyoke this coming fall vacationed at Deer Isle, Maine, again last summer; and wife Janet in personnel work for a local company."

Tom Otter writes from Hillsborough, Calif., that he is currently out of touch with classmates: "The last '591 have seen was Bill Sweet in 1968, although Mark Gates contacts me every year on the Alumni Fund, but I have not seen him in person." Tom is planning to come to the 25th reunion.

Ron Kehoe, who resides in Concord, Mass.. informs us of a special 25 th reunion: "On the weekend of May. 14—15, WDCR celebrated its Silver Jubilee, marking 25 years since spring 1958 when we converted the station from a limited service station (really to just a few dorms) into the country's first student-operated commercial AM station broadcasting to the whole Upper Valley. It is still unique (though there are lots of non-commercial FM stations) so the slogan for the Jubilee is 'the First and only.' Many WDCR alumni of all classes will be attending the occasion, and the '59 directorate will be honored guests as pioneers, including Ariel Halpern, Bob Johnson, Jon Cohen '60, and myself.

Jon Mandaville continues his teaching and writing career as a member of the History Department at Portland State University. "I took a lecture tour for U.S.I. A. last spring through Syria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, talking up public history. I spent a couple of months this year in Hofuf, Saudi Arabia, as project historian on a historical fortresses restoration project. Judging by how fast new construction has gone up out there, they are lucky to have anything remaining that is old. My.kids are.starting college now, and you won't be hearing from me for a while I am going to be too busy paying the bills!"

A brief word from Jack Daniels informs us that he got married for the second time on April 1: "Not an April fool, but simply a good day for it," he quipped.

The locationhas facilitated visits from daughter Deborah (Dartmouth '83) and Rebecca (University " Vermont '86).
