Actually, I have received some mail, and for the most part, it's been really weird. The weirdest was a three-page, typed letter with a return address of "New York, where else!" The letter was long, interesting, and filled with facts (a nice touch, but the latter is unnecessary). It was also unsigned. Gimme a break! Like, I don't make up enough already, I need to think of names for you people. I also got a postcard from Kelly Freeman. Here's what got me on this one. The postcard was made in Boston, had a picture of Mon- treal on it, and came from California, where Kelly is working in press relations for Orange County supervisor Rodger "The Dodger" Stanton. Back to nuclear winter, if I may. Have you considered the prospects for skiing in a nuclear winter? They'd be pretty favorable, you must admit. And with the destruction of many of our major cities, lift lines would be reduced considerably. More on this train of thought as it pulls in. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, weird letters. I got one more, this one from DebbieLogan. Debbie is living in Boston, where she works for the Bank of Boston. Debbie lives with Kathy Marshall, who works at Bain. Anyway, in the letter, Debbie reports that James Gladstone spent the holidays skiing in, and I quote, "Montana, Switzerland." Now, I don't claim to have the best idea of Midwest geography, but this is going a bit too far. So, you hate bugs, do you? Well, let me ask you something: when is the last time a mosquito bit you in January? Or how many times did you get poison ivy in March? Nuclear winter could spell permanent relief from these pests for millions, or thousands, depending on who is still around. Now back to your regularly scheduled column, already in progress ... I also heard from Mara Rudman, who is working in Washington as an aide to Congressman Benny Studds, whom you may remember. Also in D.C. is Peter Murphy, who works at Strategic Planning Associates. Peter travels quite a bit, which explains how I met him in New York. C.C. Hauge is living in New York and working at J. Walter Thompson, the ad agency that brings you that giant Whopper, Burger King. Meanwhile, in California, C.C.'s freshman year roommate, LeslieDrescher, is rumored to be engaged. I have some advice to the groom. You may not know this, but I carried Leslie's luggage all over Europe when we went on LSA. We had to bribe the airline to let us on the plane. As a result, my left arm is permanently damaged, and I am seeking several million dollars in damages. Leslie, I didn't forget. So you find a cozy fire to be very romantic? Imagine, if you can, the romance of watching an entire city burn. Things could get kinky. There are, of course, many benefits to nuclear winter that I have omitted. I hope only that this brief presentation will allow you to judge nuclear winter more fairly and come to an unbiased conclusion regarding its desireability. This ends our regularly scheduled broadcast. The most difficult aspect of being a class secretary is in reporting the death of a classmate. It is with profound sorrow that I must report the death of James F. McNeil, who died in October. His obituary will appear in this or an upcoming issue.
