Calling around on a January Sunday afternoon for Alex Fanelli who wants all you classmates who have not yet sent in your 50th Yearbook questionnaires to do so dug up this news: Rollie Tremble in Greenville, Del., is still operating a printing brokerage business, but he will sell if someone meets his price; Lindy DeFabio, remarried, now lives in Orsongna (Chieti) Italy; Bud Pogue has retired after 35 years on the Kentucky State Board of Education, much of it as chairman; Warren (Buck) Jones, still ranching in Harlowton, Mont., (though his sons do most of the work) is active on the Montana Power Board of Directors; and Eric Haessler out in Lake Oswego, Ore., is writing "the great American novel" after years of service as the managing partner of a large law firm. Eric says he will write from that vantage point and he intends to be the "Tolstoi of the 1990s."
