1958

Thanks to the kindness of John Ryan, my wife, Nathalie, my daughter and I were able to take Nathalies Aunt Barbara to lunch at the Yale Club in N.Y.C. Barbara Wendell Kerr has lived on 92nd Street near Lexington for 70 years or more and, despite a few understandable ailments, gets about quite nicely. She is a distinguished lady who worked for Charles Collingwood and Edward R. Murrow at CBS and she still sees Walter Cronkite on a regular basis. She was instrumental in eszablishingFace the Nation and actually hosted it several times. She also was the one who, despite great opposition, blew the whistle on Whittaker Chambers. Additionally, she was editor ofMademoiselle. I've been trying to get her to write a book.

The Yale Club is quite a hallowed place and we had a very pleasant time. Thanks, John.

Zounds! A candidate for Dartmouth from Pinehurst. Laura Puleo is the daughter of doctors (both ob-gyns) and has five siblings. She has a straight A-plus average at a local private school and is No. 1 in her class. She is Miss Moore County and will compete for Miss North Carolina next June. She is an accomplished ballerina and shotput and discus record-holder and loves to read Latin in her spare time. I would hope, with all those credentials and superior SATs, that our admissions folks would accept her.

Please don't forget to sign up for our fabulous 50th June 6-8. Contact Pete Kelsey at pt2kelsey@verizon.net. (In case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit short on class news and would appreciate hearing from you with same.)
