Ted and Kay Harbaugh are both still very active in community affairs. He has a parttime job with the Toledo Symphony managing young people's concerts. The real challenge is convincing the young that symphony music "isn't that bad." He also works with the Grace Community Center trying to keep kids interested in school. Recently, while Kay was attending the Suzuki Violin Convention in Chicago, Ted had lunch with MelRothschild in a club called The Attic. Mel lost his wife, Mary, after a long illness and then had a slight stroke. Luckily, his two daughters and their five children seem to be keeping him on his toes in Glencoe, Ill.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer recently ran a feature, entided "Old Man of the Mountains," about Jack Auwerter, 78, who is still an active skier. It contains an excellent description of Northeast skiing in the 19305, including antiquated equipment such as wooden skis, metal edges, springs to hold the heels down, and the first rope-tow in Woodstock.
From Carmel, Calif., Bill (a.k.a. Will)Gahagan sent in a complete report about his top-notch singles and doubles performances in a number of Senior Tennis tournaments throughout the U.S. Included was a marvelous picture of Bill dressed in proper whites with a "D" sweater, linen cap and catgut-strung racket sitting on the fender of what appears to be a 1926 Ford Model-T station wagon.
