These pages contain all class notes from the Yale Alumni Magazine from 1957 on. The notes appear unchanged from their original publication save for the correction of misspellings and other small errors. The few gaps in coverage that exist result from the absence of Class of 1957 notes in a few issues of the magazine over the years. Also, in keeping with changes in the magazine itself, the frequency of publication occasionally changes.

Notes: December 1958

This scribe would like to express his great appreciation for the anecdotes that have arisen from the class's collective effort to decipher his official letters. Although tact often dictates subtlety in requests for money, be now informed that the epistle which you received desires two dollars in payment of class dues for 1958. In 1959, dues become three dollars and so forth until the outer limit of five dollars a year is reached. We've attempted to keep them as low as possible and we hope we'll get a wide response. If you're confused as to how much to pay, think how confused we must be as to how much to spend.

We are once again blessed with some new additions. Bill and Chris Chadduck are now proud parents of one Beth Ann, and Chuck and "Boots" Kerr have added Charles Morgan Kerr, 3d, to the family. Chuck is at medical school in Houston. Al and Clair MacGregor have been rocking the cradle, to coin a phrase, of Christopher George MacGregor, and Bill and Gail Martin were greeted on October 7 with a blessed event--William John, 3d. Daddy is currently an Ensign on the U.S.S. Shasta in the Mediterranean. Hank and Sally Chisholm are to be congratulated on the birth of eight pound, thirteen ounce Deborah Ann, and Bide and Sue Thomas called to tell us of the addition of a son to the Thomas family on October 26. Congratulations to all. Married just recently were Bill Cuddy to the former Ann Messler of Sharon, Conn., and Mitch Kerr to Miss Carol Oliver. Bill is now working for the Columbus Citizen, learning the ins of newspaper work in Ohio. Ushers at the wedding, and a most raucous group we are told, were Larry Bodkin, Ron Coleman, and Dave Kramer. Mitch has been with General Electric Manufacturing Training Program. Don Rife and Jim Fisher were at the wedding to wish him all the best and Mike Melchior was a "most dashing usher." Also married this past month was Steve Wanger to Miss Nancy Joan Kushlan of New Haven. Steve is at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. Along with the happy news of his marriage, he sent us a much needed list of our mates at Columbia P. & S.: Temby Argall, Carl Brunjes, George Bullwinkel, Bill Fleming, Fred Guggenheim, Bob Kalinske, Lenny Katz, Joel Kovel, and John Robinson.

The class of 1957 will certainly not want for lack of professional men. At Florida Medical School, we heard from Pete Stubing, George Perlstein and Ron and Marilyn Savin. Rob Corry is still at Johns Hopkins, where he did summer research this summer. Don Bab, Jack Chambers, Jay Schocket, Lew Aronson and Zack Sacks are all at Columbia Law School, and we just today received a letter from Ron and Beth Bland at Yale Law. Also at Yale is Jim Lochner, in the architecture department, and Jack Smith in English. John Neumark has just begun two years at Harvard Business School. We also received a note from Tung Hon Jeong, who is working on his Ph.D. thesis in physics at the University of Minnesota. It deals with 68 meg. linear proton accelerators. Don't ask us--we just print it.

And, as ever, we have our share of miscellaneous occurrences. Tim Towell, before entering the National Guard, worked in the campaign for the re-election of William O'Neil in Ohio. Tim has just completed a year with the First National City Bank. Steve Mandel has been working on the production of an off-Broadway play in New York, The Golden Cuckoo. Ink Clark spent last summer taking secondary school administration at Columbia and after a year at Lawrenceville has entered a three-year stint in the Air Force. Yale men of our day seen in the Far East with the Navy: Tom Ruhm, Ed Masters, Ed Ingalls, Mike Leisure, and King Cross. Al and Timmy Smallens just moved into their new apartment. We have penned our last. If you're disappointed in not having news as to the results of the class cocktail party, please remember that this column is written a month in advance of printing--that is, the party hasn't happened yet. Write soon.

Notes: November 1958

Be it known that on the fifteenth of November the class executive committee will meet to discuss class administration of the past year and to make plans for the future. Notices have been sent out to the members as to place and time, and this is just a reminder. Letters have also been mailed in regard to our second class cocktail party following the Princeton game, November 15.

Arrangements are the same as last year as detailed in the mailing, and cost will again be kept to two dollars. Since this entitles the participants to unlimited imbibement, the more thrifty of last year spent a great deal of time at the punch bowl. This is also where we happened to be standing, and we look forward to seeing many of you there again.

As ever, there were many letters and a few new things happening. Leo Bearman returned to Harvard Law School engaged to Miss Joy Magdobitz of Memphis and looking forward to a wedding in June. Art Gardiner announced his engagement to Miss Tish Gardner and Randy Guggenheimer will be wed this summer to Miss Jane Ullman. They are both in their second year at Harvard Law School. Syd Ball dropped us a line from Oak Ridge, Tenn., where he was wed to Miss Becky Austin on October 4. Jerry Farnum and his wife, the former Miss Martha Irish of Wellesley, Mass. sent word from Orlando, Fla., where Jerry is stationed until he leaves with the Navy on cruise to Bermuda and Greenland. We also heard from Ray Lamontagne who returned from Saigon with his wife, Jacqueline Havan of South Vietnam, to spend the summer with Ray's family in New Hampshire. They have now left for Hong Kong to spend another year at New Asia College. Best wishes also to Mr. and Mrs. Dick Arnold, who were married this summer, and have returned to Harvard Law School. Dick has been awarded the Sears Prize, given to the first year student receiving the highest average in final examinations. Dick finished tied for first in his class, no mean feat this writer would add. He is now on the Harvard Law Review. Also recipients of academic honors at the Law School were Frank Michelman and Bob Joost, on Law Review, and Art Gardiner, who was chosen for Board of Student Advisors. The Class of 1957, we are proud to say, can still produce scholars, even outside of the hallowed halls of New Haven. Returning to weddings and such, we extend our congratulations to Jerry Jones whose engagement to Miss Penelope Gritikos of Smith College and Rochester was announced August 24. Also to Creel Froman, who was married to Catherine Smith on June 8, 1958. They will return to Northwestern, where Creel will get his Ph.D. in Political Science. Bill Fleming, now at Columbia Medical School, is engaged to Miss Caroline Swift. Phil Hepner was married to Claudia Graham on August 23rd, and Dick Hall wed Miss Lynn Neal on the same day. They both honeymooned in Bermuda to cement the coincidence. Finally, congratulations to the John McNabolas, who were blessed with their second child, and to Bide and Sue Thomas, who are expecting in late October.

We hasten to add to this wealth of marital data the remaining unrelated gossip. Jim Ferris, Cale Carson and John Camou are in Graduate Business School, University of California, and Dave Allan is in the School of Education. Bud Trillin has returned from Paris to enter the United States Army. Jerry Jonas is back from graduate work in England and is working for the Boston Herald. He is living in Cambridge with Henry Geldzahler, who is studying art at Harvard. Bill Mobley is with the Continental Oil Company in Amarillo. Lars Kulleseid, Morris Raker, Bob Pelletreau and Moe Brook have started the first year at Harvard Law School. Nick Tingley has been honored with an honorary fellowship to Graduate Business School at the University of Chicago. Larry and Jane Singer are at the Murray Hill labs in New Jersey. Jane will be teaching school this fall. Joe Robinson has returned home after six months in the Air Force R.O.T.C. Bob Beaney is at Fort Bliss in Texas learning communications. Andy Kner has recently published an art project, consisting of the printing, binding and illustrating of a medieval play text which it is rumored he "foisted upon his room-mates as his first and only customers." And finally Tom and Alice Hofer are expecting twins. To this we can add no more. If you're in Cambridge for the Harvard-Yale game as always we look forward to a visit.

—Gary G. Bellow

Notes: October 1958

We make no attempt to wax philosophical on the inception of our second year away for the ivy halls. To the relief of most we will once again report the facts without the embellishments of our literary urges. Someday our genius will be heard despite these limitations. We are glad you all had a fine summer.

There are, of course, best wishes to the many of our number who joined the ranks of the wedded: Miss Carol Tyler to Todd Kendrick, Colin Jensen to Alice Lincoln, Bill Sheffield to Glenn Johnson, and Len Levy to Myrna Umansky all fill out the list of last spring. Frank Michelman wed Miss Ellen Elting this August, and Ian Jones announced his marriage to Sally Latson. Ian will complete his master's in nuclear engineering at the University of California this June. Frank is now attending the Harvard Law School, where his grades have earned him a position on the Harvard Law Review. At the Michelman wedding where Lars Kulleseid, Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Bourquin, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Loucks, Mike Sweedler and Bill Reiman. Lars is at Harvard Law School after a year at the University of Oslo on a Fulbright Scholarship. Pierre is working with International Business Machines in their White Plains office. Dean, after a year in Florida, is now taking courses in history at Columbia and is acting as backfield coach at White Plains High School. Bill is continuing his studies at Yale in fine arts, and Mike is attending his second year at George Washington Law School in Washington, D.C.

We are also very pleased to announce the addition of two more young 'uns to the now enormous total of 25. James E. Halbkat was born to Sandy and Tuck Halbkat on July 29, and Alan and Alice Kaplan send word of seven pound Seth David, who will be spending the next fifteen months with them and the Army in Puerto Rico.

The rest of the column will bear no resemblance to any other. There are just too many different things happening to too many different people.

Dick Moneymaker, we are pleased to hear, was twenty-fifth in his Law School class at Berkeley and also played as a starter on the Rugby team the first time the two endeavors have even been so successfully combined out there. His roommate at Berkeley, Ted Frembgen sends words that he'll be spending this year at Harvard Business School. Bill Olson dropped us a line from Columbia Law, and Jim Van Alen was reported seasick aboard the U.S.S. Rowan off the West Coast. John Tyson is at Minneapolis-Honeywell, along with Dave Riddiford, whose engagement to Virginia Rankin we are pleased to inscribe in this column. Dave wrote us that Joe Ritchie, Ben Case and Chic Goode were all out in Minneapolis before the Army found them. Kibbe Fitzpatrick was one of six to represent New York State at the World's Fair in Brussels. Terry Carlisle is with the Keyes Company, a real estate firm in Fort Lauderdale. Ron Morris sent word that he is now stationed with the Navy in Charleston, S.C. Pete and Nancy Smith are at Navy Supply School in Athens, Ga. Lyman and Claire Drake will be embarking on their second year in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins Institute of International Relations. Kit Dobbins is working for Ideal Cement Co. in Denver, Colo. and has recently left for an extensive trip to Europe. Dick Newman wrote us while taking classes at Fort Dix. He says, "his Sergeant has dimples when he smiles." He's seen them twice.

Thank you for all the mail this summer. We'll try to catch up on our correspondence this fall. In the meantime, we can still be found among the Uriah Heeps of Harvard. Write, visit, or phone TR 6-6353.

—Gary G. Bellow

Notes: July 1958

We'll be shifting our typewriter to a new address for the summer and we look forward to as much mail and as many visits as possible. For anyone in the East who'd like a place to hang his hat for an evening, let us know. Thanks for all the mail and our apologies to anyone whom we slighted, insulted or mislocated. Only four more years to put up with us. Engagements and weddings Rod Correll to Chloe Louise Anderson and Brian Walsh to Arlene Czech on February 1, 1958. At Rod's wedding those that we know of were Pete Cooke, Pete Balbach and Ren Zimmerman. On April 26 Dave Wilmerding was engaged to Susie Thayer, Bill Hall, Jim Van Alen, Mo Brooke, Mike Dodge, and Jerry Neary were all partaking of the festivities. Pete Fine also announced his engagement to Joanna Gilman just this past month. He's spent this past year at Pennsylvania medical school along with Tom Rohner and Tom's wife Loren, to both of whom we send our belated congratulations. We are, as always, proud to add another of the next generation to this column. Peg and Roy Gillespie just wrote us of 7 lb., 1 oz. Dawn Elizabeth, who has joined the Gillespie household.

Also received a letter from the Pillsburys, currently living on a Thames barge on the Seine, where Wendy and Phil have set up housekeeping while they study at the Sorbonne. Seems they've had a wonderful year and have been host for a whole mélange of itinerant classmates. Denny Hansen stopped by on the way to Syria and Bud Trillin, who is also living in Paris and working for Time magazine, has been visiting. Eddie and Linda Meyer were in Paris on their way back to Cambridge, England, and John Loudon was also there before going into the Dutch Army. Jay Inglis and Don Bain were last seen on their way to Yugoslavia and then Jerusalem and Paul Eisele spent a few days with Phil and Wendy before he continued on his eight-month trip around the world.

On the home front, we're just about out of news. Tom Quirk is working for Royal McBee Corporation before heading for Fort Knox and a six-month tour of duty. John Newmark after a month in Spain, this summer has settled down as a private and field instructor in field communications at Fort Jackson. Pete Massey is with the Second Armoured Division, Fort Hood, Tex. Eddie and Nancy Cooke sent us their best from Pearl Harbor. We never did really officially announce Eddie's wedding to Nancy this past summer, Eddie regrets, that we'll get their names in print. Thanks again for all the interest and enthusiasm this year. Letters for the summer go to the above address, where this reported will be lolling in the sun. Hope we see some of you.

—Gary G. Bellow

Notes: May 1958

With every spring, some statistician always seems to have some long list about the realities of the prior year. We join this barrage of facts and figures with our own survey to the effect that the Class of '57 now has eighteen young'uns eleven girls and seven boys. It may be noted that the eighteen can now gurgle happily in the knowledge that they all may someday be Yale freshman. If this be the future, we are glad to be doing our share.

Just arrived is Laura Lynne Gergen to Ken and Eleanor, who sent us glowing reports of army life in Hawaii. Ken plans to return to Ph.D. work in psychology. Also a newcomer is Edward Robinson North to Penny and John, now an Ensign in the Naval Air Reserve. Best wishes to the baby daughter of Lynn and Dick Brown, who is currently working for Compton Advertising in New York. We happily add that the Roy Gillespies, the Jeff Loucks, the Jack Barbers, and the Ed Cooks are scheduled to join this list very soon. Eddie, Jeff, and Roy are all in the Armed Forces, and Jack is working for Sangamo Electric Co. in Springfield, Ill.

Al Lieberman was married to Sally Ann Flynn in Stanford last month. Dick Hall and Lynne Neal recently announced their engagement. Mac Blair and his fiancée, Gretchen Haag, are making plans for a June wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Pete Williams, who will be stationed at Fort Ord, Calif., wrote us that they are living it up in Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Mike Kohler, after a wonderful wedding, dropped us a note from San Francisco, Andy Knew, Stu Wright, and Dick Lumpkin joined them at the wedding. Frank Ryan was wed April 19 to Sandra Lee Slager. Dave Olmstead and Mary Duncan are planning to set up housekeeping in June. Dave is working with the Pratt and Whitney Division of United Aircraft in Hartford. Also, heard from John and Helen McNabola, who, with son "little John," are at Fort Benning, Ga. George White has made definite plans for his wedding to Betsy Darling in Italy in August. He wrote us that the Fourteenth Artillery, Fourth Armored Division, with which George is stationed in Germany, hasn't stopped his marital plans one bit. Phil Lottinville and his wife of last summer, Calista, have been traveling for Vision, Inc., the publisher of Latin America's executive magazines. After an extended stay in Mexico City, he has now been transferred to New York. Alex and Timmy Smallens are also in the big city, working for C.B.S. Somewhat less centrally located are Johnny and Greta Westcott who are with OPPAMA Naval Air Facility south of Yokohama, Japan, until 1960.

The Army sent us a lot of news itself this month. Johnny Eades, Don McDonald and Ted Loud finished officer training school at Fort Benning. Bob Blazis, Tim Wilson, George Boyd, Phil Gignoux and Johnny Breslav are at Fort Dix. Tink Thompson is learning underwater demolition in Puerto Rico and getting a suntan for his coming wedding. Cheeb Everett, Johnny Herrman, Elsworth Fersch, Spider Alexander, Dick Sargent, Jim Banner, Tim Brown and Check Leahy grace the rolls of Fort Holabird. Dave Clarke, after communications school at Quantico, will be heading for Okinawa with the Marines. Gordie Bellis finished basic training but we know not where. Billy Williams is on his way to Flight Training School in Pensacola. John Whittlesley, after training in disbursing, will also be Okinawa-bound with the Marine Corps. Bobby Clark, Mr. and Mrs. John Barrett, Otis Graham, Pete Greer, Stu Miller and Pete Sauer are finishing up OCS at Quantico. Ed Masters is an engineering officer on a costal minesweeper home-ported in Sasebo, Japan. Toby Graff finished basic training at Fort Carson and is now in Baltimore. Gus Kellogg has just returned from the Orient on the destroyer Mullaney. Nortie Wright, we think, is in Germany with the Air Force. He was working for McCann-Erickson in New York. Steve Colgate is scheduled to join the armed forces' payroll at Langley Air Force Base on June 15 (his birthday). Archie Richards, now a corporal in the Marines, will be resuming his work in American Studies at Yale this fall. He ran into Judy and Johnny Onthank, who promised to write this reporter as soon as the Navy got them settled in one place.

Three others we missed at Virginia Law School are Ken Jones, and his wife Debby, and Maury Ryan, who arrived just in time for school after spending the summer touring Europe. Our thanks to Lynne Clark, Merrell's wife, who has waited patiently these long months for us to find out that Merrell is not married to a girl named Irene. Sid Cassell, at Parris Island on a six-month tour of duty, is called "Slakey Jake" by his D.I. News is news. See you next month.

—Gary G. Bellow

Notes: April 1958

If you all recall, it was just this time last year that this writer embarked on a joke at the class dinner which never got completed. We have had several requests to commemorate the occasion. Also, our apologies to those who have written whom we have not answered personally. Too much school, and too little time, but we'd still like to hear from you all again.

As usual, we have an erratum. Dick Moneymaker dropped us a line to the effect that he is going to be a lawyer and not a dentist, despite his "admiration for the nursing profession." He very much likes Berkeley College in California and send regards from Ric Kirgis, who is also studying law there. We also got a pleasant surprise with Dick Hall sent us a copy of a newsletter containing mail from 12 of our classmates, who have formed a chain for keeping in touch. It was really good reading and I pass on to you all some of the information, slightly edited for this more austere publication. Dick is now Officer Candidate Seaman Apprentice Hall with the Naval Reserve after a few months doing plant engineering in Washington, D.C. Phil Hepner is working for Newport News Shipbuilding as an engineer and taking more courses toward another degree. Ray Ellison expects to begin six months' duty with the New Jersey National Guard at Fort Jackson, SC. Denny McWhan, who Dick writes is the group's answer to American science, is doing graduate work in chemistry at the University of California at Berkeley and is teaching a course in the undergraduate school. Pat Wilde is with Shell Oil's Baton Rouge office and has lost, he insists, his "Mory's and Five O'clock Club Stomach." Bill Fleming is working hard at Columbia Medical School and Creel Froman is doing graduate work in political science at Northwestern. His letter contained the startling information that "crickets crick according to the temperature," which we dutifully pass on to the rest of the Class under the category of general knowledge.

Joe Robinson after working for U.S. Steel, is now at Supply Offices School in Cheyenne, Wyo. as a lieutenant in the Air Force. Terry Carlisle had some words to say concerning basic training at Fort Dix, and Bob Beaney is thoroughly enjoying the environment (470 women two other men) at Bell Telephone of Pennsylvania. Married among the group and glowing with reports of marital bliss are Alice and Tom Hofer and Larry and Jane Singer. Tom has set up housekeeping in Denver, where he is working for U.S. Rubber, and Larry is with Bell Labs, we think around the New York Area.

As reported last month, Townie Ludington was married to Jane Ross and there was a large contingent present to wish them all the best: Henry Geldzahler, Art Gardiner, Terry Simmons, Pierre and Shirley Bourquin, Frank Michelman and Ellen Elting, his fiancée, Sandy Grinnell, Mike O'Hearn, George and Sue Vojta, Leo Bearman, and Charley Abuza. Charley, as well as Sandy Webb and Charlie Mee, have left for Korea with Uncle Sam. On the home front, we had word that Mr. and Mrs. John Master are in Harvey, Ill., where John is working as a chemical engineer for Sinclair Oil. Binky Davis is at Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith in New York, and was seen dining with one Pete Fritzsche of Smith, Barney & Co. who sends regards to all. Ted Frembgen is with the San Francisco office of U.S. Steel. Remie Smith has finished his six-month tour of duty and is now with General Motors in Detroit. Pat Baker is working hard for Olin Mathieson in Niagara Falls. We also learned that Kim Cheney has been accepted for officers' training school, Newport, R.I., after working for the Washington Post in Washington, D.C. Kim has spent the last two summers with the Wynant volunteers in London.

Regards from Kathy and Jim McLelland, who have moved to Chicago, where Jim is continuing his work in geology at the University of Chicago, and John and Kathleen Engberg, still enjoying life at the University of Detroit. Other than this assorted mass of information the Class is trundling happily into the spring. Please don't forget the Alumni Fund. Please don't forget to write us, and not such formal epistles. We like to hear about wine, women, and song too. We don't print everything we know.

—Gary G. Bellow

Notes: March 1958

Best to start off with "business before pleasure" and the month of March is much business. At our last class council meeting we instituted $1.00 dues for the next two years to cover costs for YAM, class cocktail parties and the like, and we'll be sending letters out on that at the end of the month. You'll also be hearing from your class agents concerning the Alumni Fund and we'd very much like a large participation. Since no one has discovered any oil wells since graduation, participation will have to be our forte.

We were pleased after our request of last month to get so many announcements of weddings and engagements, and especially about the "young-uns." Mr. and Mrs. Bob Mobley are the parents of a fine baby girl and Dave and Nancy Gibson announced that one Mark Preston Gibson has happily entered Brattleboro society. Dave is working for a bank in Brattleboro before he heads for the Army. Received a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kimball, who are expecting a new addition to the household in April to join their two other children, Raymond (3 years) and Rebecca Lynn (9 months). Frank is with the U.S Government in the Department of Agriculture Extension Service and will be getting his M.A. in public administration at George Washington University at night. Also we were pleased to hear that Pat and Sheila Carey are the proud parents of Caren Anne Carey. The three of them are happily domiciled in Alexandra, Va. Lastly the Neil Schoonmakers sent us word of the birth of John Neil this past month.

Just to round out the list there's always space to send the Class's regards to Dick and Shirlie Hand's two children, Keith and Christie Lee. Dick, incidentally, is very much enjoying graduate work in chemical engineering at the University of Utah.

Long overdue are wedding congratulations to Hal and Barbara Daniels, to Colin and Sue Gracey, and Dave and Sandy Sawyer, all married this past June. Dave writes that his job with Esso Standard Oil's marketing department in Charlotte, N.C., is "just" what the doctor ordered" and that he and Sandy hope to stay down South at least for another six months. Also best wishes to Gar Heller and Velma Weiner who were married this fall. Gar is with Socony Mobile Oil in Brooklyn and getting his M.B.A. at night at CCNY. Most recent congratulations to Ted Palen and Fay Menzies, married this past month, and also to Marvin Lewin who was wed this summer to Elizabeth Samelson and is now absorbed in his studies at Albert Einstein School of Medicine.

Looking to the future, the class statistics are full of coming weddings. The engagement of Dick Arnold to Gale Hussman of Camden, Ark., was announced this February. George White is engaged to Betsy Darling of Simsbury, Conn. He is currently with the Fourth Armored Division of the United States Army. Dick Burhoe sent us a letter from England to let us know that he will be marrying Patricia Wellin in London this June. He ran into Gerry Jonas in London during Christmas and sends Gerry's regards to everyone. George Wiley is engaged to Sally Pattishall, and Mullet Bradley and Miss Shelley Reuhl of Ames, Ia., announced plans for a wedding this June. George is working in Columbus, Ohio, with Cummins Engine Co. and Mullet is one of the embattled of Harvard Law School. Engaged December 8, were Janet Eldridge and Ned Baldwin, who is in the Army six-month program at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and not with the National Guard at Devens as was suggested in a prior issue of this column. Also engaged in the last few months was Guy Palmer to June Lawrence. Of the Yale men in attendance at the party were Jim Therrien, Sandy Clark, Tony Hogan, Charley Cushman, Dave Bowman, Pete Fritzsche, and Binky Davis.

Outside the world of matrimony; random notes find Andy Jergens at the University of California doing graduate work in geology and Dick LaGanza at Lincoln University in Southern Australia where he is doing research in mineralogy. Jim Herlan is at the Nichols School in Buffalo and Reed Rubin is studying at Oxford. We recently heard that Hal Gulliver spent Christmas skiing in Austria and hope all of you saw Denny Hansen in his return bill in Life magazine. Jim Hopson is doing graduate work in paleontology at the University of Chicago and Jack Stockwell is at Stanford. Dick Lamb sent us the complete list of members of the Class at Harvard Medical School and despite some double reporting we enshrine them on this page: Bill Ellis, Doug Almond, Jim Fischer, Mike Lane, Walt Loesche, Peter Randolph, Don Rife, Don Scherl, Larry Strasburger, John Studt, Wren Zimmerman. Also heard indirectly from Dick Dustin who is working for a Boston newspaper before he enters Columbia School of Journalism this fall. WYBC supporters will be pleased to hear that one of their favorite sons, Craig Bowers, is still a sports and program director, now of an American Broadcasting Network station in Denver. As ever, we enjoyed hearing from all of you. We've been pleased to have a number of visitors this winter and extend an invitation to all to bust in on Peet and Bellow and Co., 102 Dane Hall, at any time you're in need of a bed, conversation, libations or, we add modestly, legal advice.

—Gary G. Bellow

Notes: January 1958

Hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas and a successful New Year's Eve. We wish you and your families all of the best in the coming year. We had a good time also, to which the shortness of this column will attest. We'll catch up on our correspondence in the next issue.

We were glad to hear of some more wedding news. Ed Cook and Nancy Wold are now happily husband and wife in Honolulu with the Navy. Chuck Kerr was married to Esther Vargo on October 21 in Austin, Tex. Tuck Halbkat and his wife are now down in Norfolk, Va. And belated congratulations to Julia Yawkey and Fred Gaston, who tied the knot in the middle of this summer. Also to Tom Brown and his wife of Gilbertsville, NY, who are currently residing in Baltimore, where Tom has a job with Bethlehem Steel. We might also proudly add that the Class now looks upon another generation within its midst. Al and Dot Butler are the happy parents of James Bari Butler, who at three months has taken up residence in Boston, where he is assisting his father in the insurance business. He joins, among the younger set, the robust sons of Mr. and Mrs. John McNabola, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Laux, and Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lopata. The Lopatas' son, Mike, we were informed just recently, is named after a Yale football captain of not too long ago.

We heard also from the Armed Forces information bureau, which sent us some of its own news. Pete Hobart entered the mortar division of the 15th Infantry and is stationed at Fort Benning, Ga. Dick Lumpkin is also down there with the 123d Signal Division, as well as Leo Nunes. John North completed his pre-flight training in the Naval Air Force training program in Pensacola and Ned Baldwin is doing the six-month National Guard training program at Fort Devens. Second Lt. Pete Robertson graduated from the Artillery and Missile School, Fort Sill, Okla. Rick Pace graduated from the eight-week Administration School at Fort Chaffee, Ark., and Sam Guy is at the U.S. Army Biological War Laboratory at Fort Detrick, Md. Dick Sheinbaum sent us a card from Fort Chaffee also, where he has purchased a car and would like any suggestions as to whom he might visit in the Ozarks.

A few other notes: John Ryan and Millard Prisant are among the Yale contingent at Harvard Business School. John Quarles will be attending Harvard Law School after the completion of his six months in the Army. Wayne Holman is doing graduate work in physics at M.I.T. Hannes Somary is enjoying further graduate work in music at Yale and has returned again to the Old Campus as a freshman counselor.Pete Wolf is also counseling as well as finishing up his pre-med program. John Donovan is with IBM in New Haven. Lastly, best of luck to Bud Trillin, who has just left for Europe on a year assignment for Time magazine.

Before we close we ought to mention the class cocktail party of Harvard-Yale weekend. The turnout was excellent (almost 200 people), the libations flowed unceasingly, and the general consensus was that we should do it again and again and again. We hope to make it a yearly gathering. After the first executive meeting there will be news about specific plans for the future and a picture of class finances. In the meantime we'd like to see some more letters in the mailbox.
