Bob James, who will be one of our participants at the reunion symposium, has taken unto himself a wife. She is Norma Arnold, A. 8., M.A., and director of the Russell Conwell Educational Services Center at Temple, where Bob is program director. Norma is Bob's boss, which leads to interest- ing speculation as to their respective roles, both domestic and professional. Mary-Frances, Bob's wife of 57 years, died in 1991. They had four children, 11 grandchildren, and "six greatgrands, so far."

Although temporarily downed by a bad bacillus, Jack Manchester reports that all systems are go for our 60th Reunion. Over 100 classmates, wives, and companions, along with eight widows, are definite, and Jeff Davis confirms that the deposit checks are flowing in. Ned Lord is practicing with a baton in preparation for leading our Reunion sing-along of songs from the thrifty thirties; and Ted Allen is running his fingers over the keyboard daily to prepare a skillful accompa- niment.

Paul Zamecnik may be prevailed upon to temporarily set aside biological research and dip into nostalgia to give all assembled the details of an amusing undergraduate peerade.

Following Bob McDonalds suggestion, arrangements are being made for a session on Monday afternoon where a College official will discuss current and past problems and will be available for an intimate and frank discussion of 1933's reaction to administration policies.

Lee Sanborn no longer plays the trumpet, nor does he jog cross-country, but he finds that a local fitness course helps him to "get up and out in the morning." After 27 years in public education as a teacher, principal, and superintendent, he moved to the New York State School for the Blind in Batavia as superintendent and served in that post until he retired in 1971. He then journeyed south to Joppa, Md., where he now resides and spreads his time between acting as president of the board of trustees of Harford Community College and as a worker in the braille instruction project of the Maryland School for the Blind. Lee's wife, Agnes, died last September, and he is finding it a bit of a chore to adjust to bachelor status after 55 years of married life. He is looking forward to at- tending the 60th in Tune.
