UNDERCOVER AGENT. In Paris it's the Metro; in England the Underground or Tube. In Buffalo, N.Y., it's the Subway, and it owes its existence in large part to the imagination and effort of Lew Harriman. Yep, Lew's has been the guiding hand in the building of this underground complex. Like all great masterworks it undergoes continual improvement. There have already been six additions on the line and Lew hopes to see it through to completion one fine day.
In addition to keeping active in other public affairs, Lew is VP of the Dartmouth Club of Western New York. He has three children scattered around Portsmouth, Phoenix, and Japan, and six grandchildren. And, nonsequitur though it may be, yes, he is hoping to make it to Hanover next June.
MOUNTAIN TO MOHAMMED DEPT. A call to Harry "Bud" Henley elicited (1) the news that he had no news at that particular moment and (2) that he'd dig up some and call back. Glory be! He did, and the news is good. For instance, he reports that FredHollingworth, a fellow Elgin, Ill., townsman, is another likely candidate for the 55th—if he doesn't get lost visiting children in Wisconsin, Florida, and Bolivia, as well as in his home state.
Bud, a golfer's golfer who belongs to three Country Clubs, mentioned that he has recently won the Masters Senior Award of the CDGA—the Chicago District Golf Award. That, in turn, reminded him that another swinger, Kansas Jake Cary, was instrumental in building a golf course currently rated as one of the top 100 in the country. And hear this: the tenth fairway on the course carries the soubriquet "Cary Boulevard." There just has to be a story in here somewhere.
Bud has one granddaughter wearing the Big Green, another at Holyoke, and a stepgranddaughter who has yet to be accepted anywhere. She's six.
ACHTUNG! Sorry. That's Hartung. Of the East Greenwich, R. I., Hartungs. Ernie, who has been slowed down hardly a whit by a hip replacement, functions as a volunteer at the Roger Williams Park Zoo. Pressed for an explanation of what a zoo volunteer does, Ernie modestly describes himself as a go-fer. NOT. What he really does ranges from guiding people around to teaching (his background in zoology makes him a natural) to writing grant proposals. Things go well, but Ernie's gargantuan dream is to make Roger Williams Park's the best little zoo in the country.
WASHINGTON VIEWS. Not D.C., WA. The views are from Sequin, Wash., and they're those of Charlie Keyes. Actually Charlie talks more of the doings of others. E.g., Morgan Marshall was on the verge of a visit to the Keyes from their nearby time-share, and Whitey Leyrher is seen from time to time when he comes home from the sea. You may see or have seen Charlie this Fall. He was due for a trip East.
