Much news on green cards this summer, forwarded to me by old faithful Joe Mendlicott. Without Joe, I would have no column. Jack Brodie retired early from 3M after 27 years in new product marketing development, and is now consultant and marketer for Innovations Marketing Technologies and a rep for a Chicago-based firm. Some retirement!
Back from a great tour of Alaska with wife Clare, Bill Broadbent says he still loves his job with Guardian Life. They have seven children, three gainfully employed. No wonder he likes working! Hank Barnes was due to have a hip replaced on July 18. We hope all is well, and that he is romping about again as VP for finance for the Flagler Hotel System (Breakers Hotel, Palm Beach, Fla.). They visit N.H. and Michigan, but would not move North. He and Joan have three children (married, or have been) and three grandchildren.
In 1961 Harry Foster was asked to direct the library of the new Anne Arundel Community College in Severna Park, Md. He set the library up as he wanted, and has brought it from 200 volumes to 120,000. He is another '50 for us to brag about.
Nev Chamberlain reminds us that Frankand Joanne Dickinson bought and now live in the Grange Hall at Granite, N.H., letting the Grangers hold monthly meetings for free.
Professor Phil Chase retired last May. Every day he and Shorty are on one of the 20- odd golf courses near their new home in Whispering Pines, N.C. Paul Lena sailed his Pearson 35 into Nantucket Harbor last summer and met, by chance, John Sweezey, son of Paul's old roommate, also on a Pearson 35.
Irrepressible Tom Ruggles and his quartet sang for ten days last June in Spain, after which he and Janot motored from Barcelona to Geneva. Jim and Eleanor Stevens live in Dallas, but spend their summers on Ragged Mountain in Andover, N.H. (Lucky and smart people!). Dick Zeising's son, Dick, joined him two years ago as manufacturers' rep for paper and plastic bags. Dick keeps working because one son was married in August, a daughter in October, and two are still in college. Emil Hudak is still working, and in touch with WhitWilliams.
President Jacques Harlow showed up at the Bucknell game with Mary Roberts, his lovely bride-to-be (right after Christmas), a dear and longtime neighbor. Congratulations and best wishes to them! Also seen that weekend were: Bill and Terri Carpenter, Boband Pinky Lindell Scott and Les Peters,Betsy Pinckam, the Matlesses, McCabes,Taylors, Tucks, and Tuck School reuners Bruce Boyce and Bob McIlwaine Bob andCaroline Wilkinson came for fundraising training from him. Beware!
Word from Paul Canada that GeorgeJewett died on August 6 of lupus. We are very sorry. He and Ann lived in Westport Conn., and were regulars at our mini-reunions. He was a lovely, quiet, outdoorsman and carpenter. Our sympathy and love to Ann and Matthew. Dr. Peter Irving died September 5 in South Lake Tahoe Calif., after practicing medicine there for 30 years. Our sympathy to Shirley and their three children.
Roger Tillotson has been a dread IRS agent since retiring from the army in '71. Wife Delight is associate dean, heading special projects for the U. of Texas School of Nursing in San Antonio. They visit family every summer in Wells Beach, Maine.
