1930

My thanks to Ted Wolf for a fine, long, newsy letter in his own inimitable microscript. In May he and Mai Clarke'22 became tennis bums, entering the 85 (and up?) National Tournament in Santa Barbara and the National Indoor in Boise. In Santa Barbara they won the doubles, beating the first-ranked U.S.A. doubles team. In singles "Ted lost to first-ranked Herb Hauser, whom he'd beaten twice in Florida last winter. As Hauser was one of that top-ranked doubles pair, Ted says, "it was fan to beat them." In Boise he and Mai came in second.

September 17-20 we'll see Ted (or what's left of him) in Woodstock (and I hope to see y'all there too), but the week before he'll be playing on grass at Longwood, Mass., and the week after he'll be playing in the National clay courts in Pinehurst. Betty plans to join him there, where they honeymooned 59 years ago.

A nice note from Doris Mcclory says that she was in Paris this summer and that we'll see her in Woodstock too. Weather permitting, I'm sure she'll be one of the Bema lunch bunch, as always.

Pat Weaver has been in the public eye twice recently, first being honored, along with FranHorn, in Dartmouth's "Will to Excel" kickoff, and then being spotlighted at the 40th birthday celebration of NBC's "Today" show, which he created. Now daughter Sigourney upstages Pat in a long, interesting, and complimentary article in the St. Petersburg Times,largely about her recently released "Alien 3."

Around the edges of that Sigourney clipping, contributed by my bright-eyed Florida family,I've discovered some tantalizing scraps of an article about a June film festival in the new Enzian Theater in Orlando. What has not been trimmed off says that sugar cane farmer John Tiedtke, who helped found Orlando's Florida Symphony Orchestra and the Bach Festival of Winter Park, built the Enzian Theater on three acres of oak-shaded land to provide the Orlando and Winter Park area a full-time venue for quality cinema. If I had time I'd phone John, but my deadline won't permit.
