1956

As this is written, on July 4, it is hard for your secretary to conjure up a fall weekend in Hanover, despite the best efforts of the USFL. Nevertheless, November 2 will quickly follow this issue of the magazine, and the Yale game will be upon us. Contact Cube Conroy for reservations for the usual splendid suites and culinary curiosities that he has in store for all. Hanover in November does not promise foliage; frost is more likely. Bundle up and join us for yet another mini-reunion.

The summer is often a time for catching up with friends. Paul Berry was in New York for three weeks of meetings at the United Nations. He is based in Paris where he is a policy analyst for UNESCO, a job of some challenge given the U.S. withdrawal and the internal turmoil of the agency. Paul is an old hand at dealing with the frustrations of international organizations and attempting to put programs and people together. His son, Christophe, is at the University of Massachusetts. Your secretary had the pleasure of a May evening in Paris with Paul and his wife, Anne-Marie, and met their other son, Nicolas, and daughter Alexia.

Len Clark and I had a brief visit in June in New York where he is a senior "headhunter" at Boyden Associates. Executive recruitment ebbs and flows. The pressurerelease valve for Len and family is to flee their New Jersey home for the serenity of the Vermont hills where they ski in winter and, one would hope, paint in summer.

The Fourth of July in Weston features the town Family Fourth, a happening somewhat more sedate than the Woodstock Festival of the 19605, but nonetheless featuring sky divers, banjo bands, drum and bugle corps, and fireworks. Joining the Clem Malins were Joel andMarsha Ash, our near neighbors. Joel is with IT&T and moved to Weston from Long Island in 1984. Their older son, Kevin, graduated from Dartmouth in June. Younger son Deron is also at the College, class of 1988. Joel reports seeing at Commencement Lincoln Yu, unmasked recently as the youngest class member. Link's son of the same name was also a graduating senior. Apparently, the son is of "normal" age. Senior Link is with Shearson American Express in San Antonio. Are there other graduating seniors who have gone unnoted?

A recent blurb in the paper reports that Dick Leaman, not satisfied with simply being an executive VP of Scott Paper, has been made also a director of Church and Dwight Company of Piscataway, N.J., makers of the Arm and Hammer brand products. Dick and family live in Media, a suburb of Philadelphia. Piscataway is down that-a-way, too.

An April trip to the central New York area provided an opportunity to visit with Bob Becker's wife, Ruth. The Beckers have moved north from Florida and have just bought a zillion-acre farm outside Syracuse. Bob will remain with Laidlaw Waste Systems, based in Chicago, but spends most of his time on airplanes traveling to and from landfills and waste treatment facilities managed by the company. Despite the best efforts of his friends to get him to "clean up his act," he wears proudly the title of Class Garbageman. We certainly pick interesting careers. Are there any piano tuners or deep-sea divers among us?

Please note, no birthdays.
