Finally, where would we be without a little give and take? Kevin Koloff wrote in a January letter: "Very few things can prompt a non-writer such as myself to write to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE class-by-class gossip column. But when I read of the wedding of two '77s in the '78 column, with no mention of the event under the year in which the news prop- erly belongs, the situation struck me as a little bit absurd. . . . Anyway, I'm tired of reading the '77 column and not recognizing any of the names of the people I supposedly went to school with." Kevin went on to describe this October wedding, which, lo and behold, had already been included in the '77 column for the January/February issue. Please note, Kevin, that the lag time between a column's creation and its appearance is two or three months. Secondly, your response to your displeasure was the correct one you wrote. The rest of your news will appear in the next column. Thirdly, your letter prompted a little research on this end. In the last 13 issues, not counting this one, the names of 258 different classmates have appeared in the column at least once.
So it goes on the shores of Lake Nokomis.
