1945

This month's mail exhibits maybe a little less travel but a notable variety of '45's involvements, ranging from business activity through creative volunteer programs to some companionable sports events, along with continued affectionate parenting and grandparenting.

Eliot Mover, who you will recall was the youthful president of Bunny Bear Inc., is an entrepreneur yet again. Sustaining his intellectual vigor despite multiple sclerosis and the loss of Helen last year, he is up on the Internet and recently reached an agreement with Travel Max, a large agency that sells travel through network marketing. Their aim is to provide service and prices that will make satisfied customers tell others. "After studying and passing my exam," says Eliot, "my role is to help this process along. I like to travel, have fun and make money. Anyone going anywhere?" Phone or fax Eliot at (508) 620-7957 or e-mail him at and find out how he can lead you to this great service. He can steer you, too, if you'd like to become a rep (part- or fulltime) in this business.

Bob Paulson says he and Marge are on "high-velocity cruise control" with his Omnimedia consulting business more active than ever. He is doing strategic marketing work with Telecast Fiber Systems in Worcester, Mass. This means lots of travel in the U.S. and to the Netherlands to forge alliances with companies that need fiber for signal transport, and also to attend international conferences. Bob and Marge took all nine East-Coast Paulsons to California to surprise son Alan, born in 1947 at Mary Hitchcock, on his big 50th.

Bob and Nan Joy are working hard to set up a Danbury, Conn., program in a national effort called Healthy Families. Its purpose is to prevent child abuse and neglect. The program targets first-time families and emphasizes home visitation. Bob, long-term pediatrician focused on child development, is an ideal initiator of this essential service. His retirement "practice" includes enjoying his and Nan's granddaughters, ages 6 and 4.

Frank Aldrich describes a productive meeting that he and Dora and Peter andNancy Beck had with the curator of the American Independence Museum in Exeter, N.H. The purpose was to address funding. Nancy's input, drawing on her long experience as a moving force in Portsmouth's Strawbery Banke restoration, was invaluable. Nancy and Peter had just returned from Switzerland, where Peter was doing genealogical research.

Sam and Gertie Cutler and Shortyand Allon Pierce made their annual golfing pilgrimage to Charlottesville, Va. Shorty retired early this year so he could devote more time to golf and to celebrating his and Allon's 50th anniversary. Shorty is feeling pretty much good again. Sam, too, is much stronger after two years of problems. He is proud of daughter Susan, who is repeat ladies champion at Concord Country Club. Shorty and Frank Aldrich met at the Wellesley Country Club for "a spirited 18 holes," says Frank, "leading to the need for extensive repairs to the fairways and greens."
