Gordon Brown has finally written of his numerous travel adventures in a memoir, To No Nameless End, which had its book launching and signing last December in Seattle.

Betyou didn't know—as I didn't—that class president Bob Kirk is better known around Hanover and Lebanon as "Bingo 80b." That's because for more than the last 20 years he has starred as the moderator of the Tuesday afternoon live, in-hospital television bingo broadcasts at DHMC. Bob says the weekly broadcasts are probably the most rewarding thing he has ever done.

Guy Swenson and Mary were out at Triangle X Ranch in Moose, Wyoming, last fall. It was Guy's 38th year there.

Guy ran into John Montagne's son, Matt '73, at an art show in jackson, Wyoming, while out there. Matt reported that John is doing well.
