1976

Greetings from the tropics. We have now headed into that pleasant six-month period when the daily low is 82 degrees, the humidity no less than 95 percent and evening showers unfailingly materialize as I leave work. So we will throw some more Freon on the Carrier and settle in for a siesta, pina colada in hand.

Speaking of in hand, Tom Reinhart has reportedly gained a modicum of notoriety in San Francisco no easy task. Tom's been chosen as poster child for the abstinence campaign being mounted by a Bay Area safe sex group. Tom's involuntary abstention dates back to his post-grad days in Boston and New York; his problem first surfaced after he sold his run-down Ford Pinto, a.k.a. the "latent defect mobile," to a priest. Tom has apparently cleaned up his act since those days. He is now with an investment bank selling junk bonds.

Tom's cronies, Scott "The Romeo fromRome" Simons and Steve "Dinner" Bell are both loitering in the New York area. Scott is an architect in New York City. Steve is bureau chief for the Associates Press in Buffalo, where he has become an expert on chicken wings and Genesee beer. By the way, for some unknown reason Simz would like to hear from Mark Ringiewicz. Personally, I would rather have a root canal without novocaine.

Reunion chairman Tom Parnon continues to unabashedly tout the tilt scheduled in June when we will reune. Master debater that he is, Tom is prodding and cajoling late registrants to sign up for the festivities. Tom promises not to peddle his new "magic creme" hair tonic too brazenly.

Well, I have stretched this month's meager mutterings as far as I can, and I have used my one allotted phone call to order a pizza, so until mail call or next month, Aloha.
