1934

One of my '34 secretarial predecessors, Stan Silverman, is "second-drafting a screenplay with Budd Schulberg '36, based on his novel Sanctuary V—and also collaborating on a stage play with a onetime Hollywood sitcom writer.

George "Shorty" Thomas has started his 16th year as tutor and substitute at Cheshire High School. He says, "I'd be lost without those kids." He spent the summer travelling to see daughters Susan in Colorado, Wendy in Maryland, and Deborah in Barbados.
