Glad to have a few more fresh names to cover before taking the summer break. Life is quiet in Rockville Centre, Long Island, N.Y., according to Bob Keane. He is giving up the chair of the English department at Hofstra University to devote more time to writing and teaching. He and his wife Doris have a son, Martin, who is presently enrolled as a junior at Princeton.

Another move, this time a little more radical, is reported by Wayne Cliff who, after 20 years in Marin County, Calif., has returned with his wife Margot to northern New England. What to do in Maine? "She,to quilt, I to help Union Mutual Life to invest in real estate."

Dr. Richard Hastings and wife Jane have two children attending the College Cary '84 and Tim '87. According to Dick, they are "spending more time in Hanover than ever before with a place at Quechee. Cross-country [skiing] has replaced downhill for this gracefully-aging body."

Ted Levy and Dick Frieder held their own mini-reunion in Australia last February. They both were attending the Young President's Organization University in Melbourne. Tex still resides in Texas, of course, while Dick retains similar ties to his native state of Pennsylvania.

" Another twosome had a reunion, this one being of a religious nature, in New Orleans. George Bates was representing his diocese and Pete Greenfield St. John's Episcopal Church, Lancaster, Pa. Pete points out that his previous parish, St. Mark's in Lewistown, was the first in his denomination to be recognized for community outreach through its Jubilee Center. "My wife Carol and I are approaching our 30th anniversary and all our children are grown."

Just starting out on a new path is Bill Stratton of Tulsa, Okla., who recently married Lois Haskell Lenderking in Washington, D.C. If her surname sounds familiar, Lois formerly was the wife of our classmate Bill Lenderking, whom we hear from occasionally as a member of our State Department.

By the time this column "hits the streets" we will have experienced our 30th reunion and a new set of officers will have been selected to lead our class until the 35th. They have volunteered their precious time and deserve your full support.
