Pete Barber brings to mind the familiar refrain "though 'round the girdled earth they roam" when he says he got to know "Hed" Bixby '57 (St. Paul, Minn.) and Cyrus Allen '45 (Denver, Colo.) on a cruise to Alaska.

Art Quirk and another man from Glastonbury, Conn., are part of a new management team for Telepartner International, which provides communication services for remote (not in the office) employees.
