It was a blast! The marriage of Mary Roberts and President Jacques Harlow, December 28 in Ridgewood, N.J., that is. Mary was attended by Jacques's and her daughters, and one of Jacques's daughters read an inspiring original poem to him. I was privileged to offer a homily. There appeared to be over a hundred at the full dinner dance following the ceremony. From the class we saw Terri andBill Carpenter, Ken Edelson, Joan and BobMcIlwain, Margie and Fizz Nichols, Joyand Ben Shaver, and Karen and David Taylor. With me was my dear fiancee, Bobbie Cantrell. We plan to marry in March.

Cal is now chairman of the school's board.

From Bill West's Christmas letter: "Me! Well, I do the JUMBLE puzzle each breakfast ...get out on a golf course three or four times a week, and I'm happy to report the swing is showing up more often. Handicap at 16 is moving in the right direction. Sinemet and Eldepryl have kept Mr. Parkinson at bay, for which I'm grateful." So are we, Bill. Keep it up. Jean and Bill are in Delray Beach for the winter.
