In a year when many in our class qualify for Medicare by turning 65, Jim Adams has suggested a questionnaire to check on such things as attitudes toward the College, personal and occupational attainments, political leanings, health, and habits.

Copies of Jim's proposed questionnaire were distributed in September in EddieO'Brien's class newsletter. Jim is soliciting suggestions for the final survey, which may be distributed later this year.

Jim also needs help from a computerwise classmate to tabulate the results. Individual questionnaires will be confidential, but the statistical results will be announced as soon as they are tabulated. Jim's address: c/o Fox and Carskadon, 222 El Camino Real, Redwood City, CA 94062. His telephone number: (415) 3698050.
