Bill Seidman just won't retire! Latest news has him becoming a TV news commentator (for two CNBC programs, "Business View" and "Market Wrap." Look for him!

Continuing Binney's letter format, the "H's" came through in grand style. After WWII destroyer duty, John Hutchinson trained for TV in New York, moved to Buffalo to help install a new station, and married Jean Kimball. They have three children. Hutch retired in 1986 following 38 years in commercial and public TV He continues to do freelance television work. Jean worked also in independent television production and public relations.

Frank Hussey checks in from Melvin Village, N.H. He retired five years ago as sales vice president, having spent his entire career in shoe manufacturing design and sales.

Ted Haskell writes from Anderson, S.C. Obtaining a Ph.D. in chemistry at Ohio State, 'led performed pharmaceutical research work and taught chemistry. He was involved years ago with the isolation and purification of penicillin. He retired in 1987, and he and Mary enjoy golf, tennis, gardening, investing, bridge, and travel. Wow! They have three sons, a daughter, and six grandchildren. Ted sees Jack and Flo Murphy occasionally and asks about Dave Schirmer (records show Dave at 241 South Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801).

En route to Hanover for the fall mini-renunion Barbara and I visited several classmates, starting with Hex and Peg Harrigan. Hex is retired from his editorial writing in Sarasota to a woodsy retreat in Brevard, N.C., where he and Peg are getting involved in community activities and Hex is doing some lecturing. Passing through Cleveland permitted an overnight with Bill and Betty Jones, who reside in the beautiful suburb of Hunting Valley. Bill is hard at work at his successful machine controls firm, getting a recent new acquisition on its feet, and is involved also with a promising new venture marketing an innovative product. Once these are functioning smoothly, he hopes to devote more time to golf, travel, and munching Oreos, for which he admits a consuming passion. A quick hello to Bob Barnum in Greenwich, Conn., another completely unretired classmate, produced a brief but reckless burst of generosity when he offered his Maine vacation home for our 75th Reunion, claiming it should be more than adequate by then. It has four bedrooms.

Finally, a pleasant conversation with Bill Woythaler who, with Lynn, lives in upstate New York on Lake Champlain. He still plays violin in a community orchestra and plans to attend our 50th, as do others noted above.

Jim Hooker's good letter will be covered next issue. If in Hanover, don't fail to visit the new Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. It is a truly outstanding architectural achievement—almost makes one want to be hospitalized there (but not quite!). Our probably bestever fall mini is history and Eddie will have reported it by now—so no details here except to thank Pauliiie and Bob Field for their usual fine work. It was well-attended and Saturday evening featured as fine a singing group of 12 undergrads as you'll ever hear—clean-cut, well-attired, articulate, and exceptionally talented. Remember, get your biographies, nostalgia, and whatever to Bob Gray, Box 505, New London, NH 03257, for the 50th Year-book. We are sorry to report the death of Ernie Armstrong in Alabama on October 2.
