1968

It has been a long, lonely winter for your class secretary up here in the frozen North. Very few of the cards and newsy letters I know you all have been sending to me have penetrated the bitter cold and heavy snows we have experienced in Maine over the past three months.

Fortunately, on one snowy evening in January, I did enjoy a delightful telephone conversation with Sherri Dreier, who chatted with me for a while from the sunny Southwest. While keeping a watchful eye on her one-year-old daughter, Genna, who was taking a bedtime bath when I called, Sherri brought me up-to-date on the Herman Dreier family. As some of you may know, Herman moved to Tempe, Ariz., in 1976, and he and Sherri met there in 1978.

In addition to their full-time job raising Genna, both Herman and Sherri hold other full-time positions, as well. Herman is president of a privately funded high-tech company, called TEKNOW!, a company which develops software in the telecommunications field; and Sherri manages product marketing for Idea Courier, a company dealing with peripherals to IBM mainframes, e.g., display terminals, printers, and controllers.

Over the past few months, I have also heard from fellow Mainer Bill Kendall. Since I was not in my office when Bill called, however, the only news I received from him was a brief phone" message that "Bill Kendall called and will call back." Where are you, Bill, my former co-rider between Augusta and Lewiston, and Hanover? Please call back.

I welcome telephone calls from the rest of you '68s, too. Cheers.
