Bob Schuette is inching his way into the retirement ranks. He sold the surburban Boston newspaper he invented many years ago, The Wayland Weston Town Crier, and kept a graphic printing business that keeps him busy when he is not flying. Bob went from gliders to engine-driven, which makes sense to your secretary's generation of fly boys.

Roy Eldridge reports that he has been sliding deeper and deeper into the family cranberry business. The Eldridges have been in cranberries for ten generations, but up to recently Roy has been more in pediatrics. But now the cranberry cross is increasingly what he has to bear.

He and Susie did get time for a trip to Dallas, where son Link '68 is a headhunter, and to Albuquerque where son Jonathan is librarian of the University of New Mexico Medical School. Son David '70 is in obstetrics in Portsmouth, N.H.; son Nat is in cranberries; and daughter Lizzie '81 is resident neurosurgeon in Boston's Childrens and Brigham & Women's hospitals. Said Susie, "We'll make your 45th if I survive mine at Vassar!

Art Espenet Carpenter, according to the Marin Independent Journal in California, "makes the kind of furniture you would expect to see in a museum. His work, in fact, has been shown in museums and galleries all over the country. "Strictly avantgarde, Espenet said he chose to use his middle name in his work 'because if I used my last name, people would be asking me to build houses and garages.'

"Working out of the same woodenfloored shop in Sausalito he has occupied for the past quarter of a century, Espenet started designing and building custom furniture in San Francisco in the 19405, long before wide-eyed dreamers began dropping out of IBM and picking up dovetail gauges, back saws, and hand planes." Needless to add, Art is still going strong.

Also needless, we hope, this admonition—don't forget the 45th, this June 13-16. According to reunion chairman Bob Encherman, 120 classmates have already signed up, which gives us, with wives, consorts, etc., nearly 250. A good party. Don't miss it.

'42 + 45 = '88 '42's 45th Reunion = June 13 - l6,1988 Come On Back and Celebrte the 50th Anniversary of our Matriculation ...and our delayed 45th Reunion with the classes of 1943 and 1944! We All have a date in'88
