1955

Is everyone still thinking reunion? It only happens every five years, and Bill Hudson's planning looks great. Let's go!

Allen Root assumed the presidency of the 550-member Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society (which is the North American Society of Pediatric Endocrinologists). He represented the organization at the Copenhagen meeting of the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology in June 1988 and has several other European trips already planned.

Frank Chase in Columbia, Md., indicates that he has dropped 30 + pounds since April 1987 as president of the local volkssport club, where he walks 10 kilometers, cycles, swims; and goes cross-country skiing. (That puts Frank in perfect shape to return to Hanover.)

Bob Fixter, after serving in the U.S. Navy for two years with the MSTS out of Brooklyn, N.Y., started work as a clerk on the floor of the New York Stock Exchaage for a man who became his father-in-law. (Sounds like good judgment on both sides.) Bob and Marge returned to the Philadelphia area to eventually become the owner ofJ.W. Sparks Municipals, a family firm he purchase'd in 1970, specializing in municipal financing. Bob serves as a trustee of the Eberhard Foundation and, as such, sits as quarterly meetings with Paul Finnegan and Tim Hutchinson. Paul, with Core States Bank in Philadelphia, formerly responsible for the investment department, is now pres ident of Core States Investment Advisors.

Dick Bueschel has developed a style of management and living which has a certain appeal.Dick is chairman of Northern Equities, a development and investment company in Hanover, where he and his wife, Millie, live. However, from January through May they live in Bermuda (no skiing), which then allows Dick to commute back and forth not only for Northern Equities but to also serve as director of various corporations in Boston and New York City. Their home in Bermuda is on the ocean next to the Mid- Ocean Club, where last year Charlie andLydia Williams visited. They were down to play golf and to see Frank and Joan Tepper, who came up from Florida to race around Bermuda on their souped-up moped.

Joe Hick, another of our class doctors, 11 years ago left private practice in Colorado and returned to the U.S. Army. He is now a colonel and commander of Moncrief Army Hospital, Fort Jackson, S.C. He has just returned after serving 26 months in Korea (missing the hectic time of the Olympics by two months).

John Rocray continues to live in Brattleboro, Vt., and, no longer Windle County state's attorney, has returned to a general trial practice. He attends to personal injuries, domestic law, criminal defense. John is "enjoying himself and having fun."

Jim Perldns is one of those brave and hearty souls who lives in New Milford, Conn., and commutes to New York. He's with the firm of Perkins, Washburn, Inc., and writes that the over-achieving Perkins kids (three daughters) are doing just fine. The eldest, Susan, was just named senior vice president and partner in charge of sales for the brokerage firm; Karen is finishing up her post-doctoral program at Berkeley; and Elizabeth starred in the 1988 big, money-making film, "Big."

June 12-15 in Hanover. OK!
