1959

As most of you who have been reading your mail know, Barry Smith and his committee have created a fine program for our 30th Reunion in Hanover, June 11-14. That's a great time of year to be in Hanover reminiscing with old friends. Those who attended our 25th will need to know only that Bob Watson has something to do with what will greet their palates. Some maybe interested in a good Glee Club concert, a joint dance with '6O and '61, or a dinner dance at the Inn, Dixieland flavor, keynoted by Dartmouth Director of Athletics Dick Jaeger. Some may enjoy sharing meals with their professional school classmates, attending a good seminar, or just "shooting the breeze" in the class tent. There'll be something for everyone, so don't miss it! Postscript: Anybody know of a good bassist who can sit in late Tuesday afternoon, June 12, with two former Barbary Coast luminaries, one a jazz pianist and the other a drummer? If so, contact Tom Ruggles '50 weekdays on 617/369-5879.

Barlow Nelson was in East Berlin judging an international figure-skating competition when the Berlin wall was "opened," and personally procured his own "piece of the wall." Classmates will recall what a successful competitive performer Barlow was on the blades himself. He regrets that his daughter's graduation from Wheaton will keep him from attending our 30th.

John Perley and wife Suzanne now reside in Willsboro, N.Y. (between Plattsburgh and Burlington, Vt.), where he is president of the $6O million commercial Essex County-Champlain National Bank.

Stu Davis and wife Leslie moved to Belgium for the second time last October. He is president of Euro Meridian Communications, a new subsidiary of Foote Cone & Belding Advertising, with offices in Brussels and Rotterdam. Stu mentions that one of his sons is married and working in Los Angeles, while another is a graduate of the University of California and attending Michigan State for a master's degree in computer science.

Skeff McAllister is vice president of Eilert, French and Ketchum, a large investment insurance brokerage firm, where he is responsible for business planning and employee benefits. He also serves on the board of the 300-bed White Plains (N.Y.) Hospital Center, along with Clem Malin '56, who Skeff adds is director of corporate plan- ning for Texaco (and Randy Malin's brother). Skeffs wife, Pat, is an R.N. at White Plains Hospital. Among the McAllisters' five children, Chuck, Brad, and Missy are all out of college now, while Ken and Mike are still in the educational system.

Oliver "O.P." Jones was promoted to associate director of the Ohio Humanities Council, for which he directed an awardwinning poster exhibit, "Upstream/Downstream in Ohio."
