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 1969

At the Alumni Fund Convocation a few weeks ago in New Haven I ran into Bill and Ann Cuddy. Bill is lawyering in Hartford. Also saw John and Deicy Stockwell, who still run an animal farm near Boston (its population is decreasing however); Jerry Neary and Art Diefendorf, two would-be-bachelors who left their wives at home. Art is involved in his family business in Syracuse. At the Alumni Board Convocation I saw Paul and Inez Rudman. Paul is practicing law in Bangor, Me. While I huddled under a blanket at the Dartmouth game, Paul stripped to his shirt sleeves and enjoyed his "Southern vacation."

Chauncey Dewey was named manager of Raytheon's newly-formed data displays and switching systems business area in Lexington, Mass. Since leaving Yale, Chauncey did graduate work at UConn and Northeastern and prior to joining Raytheon in 1961 was associated with General Dynamics Corp. Preceding his recent promotion, he was manager of the fleet ballistic missile program in Sudbury, Mass. Bill Martin, who lives in Marshfield, Mass. with his wife and two children, was just elected a director of the New England Bankcard Association, a group of over 110 New England banks who will be issuing Master Charge. Bill is Vice President of the South Shore National Bank, Quincy, and is a Director of the South Shore Chamber of Commerce and the Jordan Hospital.

Victor Goodman was awarded the 1969 Young Leadership Award of the United Jewish Fund and Council. At the award dinner he was presented with a resolution of the House of Representatives of the 108th General Assembly of Ohio which congratulated him on receiving the Award.

In case you have any doubt to his credentials, Victor, a partner in the law firm of Topper and Alloway, is a past President of Zion Lodge No. 62, B'nai B'rith District No. 2 and was recently elected to the Ohio-Kentucky regional board of the Anti-Defamation League. He has been chairman of the Young Adult Division of the UJFA, a member of the executive board of the young men's division for many years, a member of the executive board of the young board of trustees of the Jewish Center, and also serves as a member of the board of the Agudas Achim Synagogue, Heritage House, Torah Academy, Community Relations Committee, and many committees of the UJFA. He has been Captain of the lawyers division of the United Appeal, served as chairman of the motion picture review board and on the housing appeals board of the City of Columbus and is a member of the University Club. Believe it or not, he is married (Elaine) and they have four children--and he promises me he knows all their names.

Zach Sachs married Salley on August 13th and they are living at 18560 Bryant St., Northridge, Calif. 91324.

The Fickle Finger of Fate Award goes to Gus Kellogg, who designed the remodeling of Vanderbilt Hall on the freshman campus. The remodeling was necessitated by the influx of girls, and Yale was looking for an experienced operator. No doubt they found one in Gus. That he is in partnership with Jon Foote, A.M., Yale '58, (the firm is called Environmental Design Group) didn't hurt his chances. Recently, a member of the Yale administration asked if I would enjoy a tour of Vanderbilt and, although I had several appointments that afternoon, the thought of enriching my soul with architectural design left me no choice. In all seriousness, it is an excellent job. Either Gus or Jon will condescend to give you a tour any evening. I would volunteer, but my blood pressure could not stand it.

Notes: November 1969

Please remember free tent, before, during, after the Harvard game. Incidentally I saw the first game of the season again Connecticut. There is a lot of work to do and only one way to go (up!) but hopefully the team will jell and could come up with a few surprises.

Dave Elwell finally found "the greatest girl alive" and succumbed in May of this year. He is an architect with Philip Johnson in New York. Dave, with his first dependent, is wondering why architects aren't paid as much as investment bankers. Received a nice note from Diana Curran and she and Dick are proud parents of Richard Woodruff, born August 16th. Competition in the Curran family is brought about by Diana's sense of humor which challenges Dick's. I quote: "His (the son) occupation is either eating or dreaming about eating--and his all-consuming fear seems to be of losing his pacifier, his one grip on reality. He is, of course, quite extraordinary, and he and his father sit up until all hours saying witty things to each and diagramming new football plays." Dick, as I think I reported, is director of institutional sales for Funds, Inc. and vice president of their advisory company. Diana says that after deep thought, Dick wants his son to be a fireman. Sally, Peter and Chris Sonne were in Europe this summer for about three months, primarily in Brussels, Geneva and London. Phil Pillsbury was remarried in June in White Bear Lake, Minn., to Caroline Hannaford. They are living at Brackett's Point, Wayzata, Minn.

Dave Sawyer writes that he is happy about his decision to go to Harvard Business School after 11 years at Humble. This past summer he worked for International Paper Company's resources development division coordinating the activities of Spacemakers, Inc. of Canton, Mass. (a recently acquired manufacturer of prefabricated recreational homes), American Central Corporation of Lansing Mich., (an IP subsidiary in the recreational land development business) and IP's headquarters group. This year Dave is serving as co-chairman of the HBS student small business placement program which locates job opportunities for Class of 1970 Harvard MBAs in small and medium-sized businesses throughout the world. If interested, contact Dave at Small Business Opportunities, International., Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration, Boston, Mass. 02163. Dave, Sandy, and their two sons are living in the Fresh Pond area of Cambridge. I would like to meet the genius who ran that name up the flag pole.

Jerry Neary has left Milbank Tweed and joined Rockefeller Family & Associates with taxes his primary responsibility. If he can get theirs up and mine down, he will be doing an excellent job. Martin Dick has joined Evans-Pitcairn Corporation, a Philadelphia-based real estate investment and development firm. Prior to that, he was Vice President of Latimer & Buck, Inc. in Philadelphia, Eichler & Moffly, and John H. Loughridge. The Dicks live at 1015 Kitchens La., Philadelphia.

Joe Mark is now an Assistant Vice President in Wells Fargo Bank's financial analysis department at their head office in San Francisco. Joe attended the University of North Carolina Graduate School after Yale and joined Wells Fargo in 1966. He is a member of the Yale Club in San Francisco and was Chairman of the 1968 Yale-Harvard Redwood Bucket Day--Yes, I believe its derivation is the same genius who lived in Cambridge and decided to bless the West. Joe and Sheila and three children, Michael 6, Suzanne 5, and Timothy 4, live at 315 Chatham Way, Mountain View. Jim Crooks has won a grant for research and travel from a fund created by Hollins (Jim is a Professor of History) and the Ford Foundation. Jim received his MA and Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University.

More from the Public Information Office of Lake Forest College about Dr. Tung Hon Jeong: With a leave of absence from that college, Dr. Jeong will be conducting research in holography and laser beams and will be available to help students at the college with their independent study projects. As we all know Dr. Jeong is a pioneer in the technique of creating holograms, three-dimensional pictures made by laser light with the use of camera lenses. This shows great promise of being a new approach in cancer research. The $50,000 Sonntag grant will be used by Dr. Jeong in research and development of the holographic-laser instrument and its collateral benefits to cancer research.

—C. Michael O'Hearn

Notes: October 1969

Back in the saddle again. Before I forget, let me mention that there will be a tent at the bowl before the Harvard game, November 22nd. Set-ups and coffee will be provided along with a gendarme to protect your valuables during the game. It's free--come and bring your friends.

Because of the space limitations, the next three paragraphs were omitted from the July issue--apologies to all those postponed; my influence with YAM has been dwindling in direct proportion to our increasing debt to this magazine. Charlie Peet will make a concerted dues effort shortly. Please help the cause.

John Poinier, still with Chubb & Son, has become personnel manager of the Short Hills office. He, Alice, and daughter leave Pittsburgh.

A nice letter from Tom Quirk, lives in Scarsdale and works at Chemical Bank New York Trust Company. He and Dantia just had a third son on February 28th, Christopher Edward, who joins Thomas Frederick, Jr. and Timothy Bruce. Tom just completed a 16-week course at Harvard Business School, the program for management development. Tom in the last few months has seen Hank Chisholm, who visited New York City with his wife, Sally, for the annual Iron & Steel Institute convention. He also has seen Brian Walsh, who is Assistant Headmaster of the Walnut Hill School (for girls) in Natick, Mass. Brian is on the Alumni Schools Committee and did manage to get one of his students accepted at Yale for next fall.

Bill Chinnery, who is general agent for Bankers Life Insurance Company of Nebraska in Kansas City, Mo., writes that Ralph G. Wrobley was recently elected President of the Kansas City Yale Club. Ralph previously was secretary and vice president. He is associated with the law firm of Stinson, Mag, Thomson, McEvers & Fizzell, the largest law firm in Kansas City, with offices at 9 West Tenth St., Kansas City. Ralph and his wife, Madeline, have two sons, Kirk and Eric. Your Secretary spent a delightful summer vacation at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City having three lower back vertebrae glued together. I recommend it to all who would like a change.

With deep regret I advise you all of the death of John Wright in May of this year. John had been a Second Vice President with Chase Manhattan Bank and was in the process of moving his family back from London, where he spent the past few years. The best address we can come up with for his widow, Jennifer, and son, Alexander, is c/o Mr. Francis Wright, 37 Broad St., Columbus, Ohio 43215. I did not know John well, but his passing is a great sorrow to his many friends in our Class. I am sure Jennifer would enjoy hearing from any of you who wish to write.

Rolf Sandvoss has moved again. He is now General Counsel for Hartwell-Campbell Management Corp. in New York and is enjoying six acres of farm and woodland tucked away in Westchester County. Pete Smith has just recently opened a service office for Citizens & Southern National Bank (of Atlanta) in Los Angeles. He hopes to bump into Dick Sargent, with Chubb & Sons, Lyman Drake, teaching poli-sci and living in Laguna Beach, and Bob Krogh. Pete's new address is 2176 Adair St., San Marino, Calif. 91108.

Larry Strasburger writes that Uncle Sam's Navy grabbed him awhile ago, but he returns this fall to Boston as Assistant Psychiatrist at McLean Hospital. Son, Dave, 4 and Sara, 2, are keeping Mom, Carol, busy but perhaps not busy enough. Apparently she is considering squeezing in some teaching duties. Larry heard from Tom Carleton with the good news that his wife, Maureen, gave birth to their third son a few months ago. Tom is finishing up his Ph.D. at Stanford and will probably be teaching history one more year at Louisiana State University. Pete Hill has moved to 7435 Sabal Dr., Miami Lakes, Fla., where he is an account executive at Bishopric, Green, Fielden Advertising Agency and is delighted that he "came on down."

Don Rife has had quite an interesting time since graduation. After four years at Harvard Medical School he returned to Yale-New Haven Hospital for one year's internship. Then back to Boston for residency in psychiatry and two more years at Mass. Mental Health Center. After two years in training in child psychiatry at the Judge Baker Guidance Clinic, Uncle Sam took him to Alaska with the Air Force. After getting out in September of last year, Don decided to stay in Anchorage, where he went into private practice. Evidently, it got too cold and in June of this year he returned to New England, but I don't know where.

Strictly business: Tuck Halbkat has left Continental Can in New York City and is now Vice President, Corporate Development of the Liberty Corporation in Greenville, S.C. Liberty is engaged in insurance, real estate, and communications. Tuck, Sandy, and the five children have moved from Weston to Green Valley. George Atkeson has been appointed Director of Product Marketing of Avon Products, Inc., which company he joined September 1967 as product group counselor. He became manager of product marketing last year. George, Mary, and their three children live in Cos Cob, Conn.

Overseas: Stu Miller was promoted to director of marketing, carpet operations, of Mohasco Industries, Inc. with executive offices in Amsterdam, N.Y. Stu joined the company in 1966 after a lucrative training program with McKinsey and Company and was assistant to the group vice president, carpet operations, prior to his recent promotion. Joe Vittoria has been promoted as Vice President Operations, for the Europe, Africa and Middle East division of Avis. He will move from Rome, where he has been since 1960, to Danescroft, Kingsway, Gerrards Cross, Bucks, England, With that address, Joe advises that anyone passing through can contact him through the Avis office in London. He has something there.

Bill Eaton writes that he has been in Bangkok for two years and recently transferred from the SEATO Secretariat to the American Embassy where he is working in the political section. He expects to return for another two year stint after home leave this fall. He feels that Bangkok, despite the increasing traffic, is a delightful place in which to live and work. Bill, if the traffic ever really gets you down and your spirits need a life, I suggest you make a long distance call to anyone of your classmates who commutes to New York City.

Hope to see you all a football game, and certainly at The Game tent.

—C. Michael O'Hearn

Notes: July 1969

Digby G. Brown, who lives in Darien, Conn., with his wife, Elizabeth, and children, has left Bechtel Corporation to become Assistant Vice President--Engineering of Rockresorts, Inc. in New York City. Digby's business trips are what most of us would consider winter vacations. Jim Crooks has been appointed Associate Professor of History at Hollins College, Va., where he is head of the Department of History and Chairman of the American Studies Program. He holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Johns Hopkins University.

A very nice, newsy letter from Andy Jergens. Andy just began a new job as Business Manager and Controller for the Church of the Redeemer (Episcopal) in Cincinnati. He has responsibility for the financial and property management administration of the parish. He explains that this is a fairly new trend towards more lay participation in the affairs of the church and promises to be a very meaningful experience. As a bit of history, after graduation Andy spent two years in the Army at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md. After receiving his M.B.A. at Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, he married Virginia Hawn of St. Louis in 1962 and moved to Cincinnati where he worked for the Andrew Jergens Company, marketer and manufacturer of toiletries (Jergens Lotion), soaps (Jergens and Woodbury), and Dream Glo cosmetics. He left that company as assistant secretary and director, but continues as a director. He has two sons, Andrew William, born May 19, 1966 and Peter Hawn, born April 17, 1968. In addition to work-for-pay, Andy has been Treasurer of the Cincinnati Yale Club and has worked on the Alumni Fund. He is a lay reader in the church and is president of the Andrew Jergens Foundation, which primary interest is education and child welfare. He is also a member of the board of the Salvation Army and a trustee of the Boys Clubs of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. Andy is an outstanding golfer, enjoying the same handicap as I do.

Dick Lewis has found a previously untapped position of his brain and has come at least partway east to 2909 Zallinger Rd., Columbia, Ohio 43221. He will be Assistant Professor of Medicine and Director of the Coronary Care Unit at the Ohio State University Hospital. Dick previously suffered in Mountain View, Calif. John Marden has become a partner of Curtis, Mallet-Provost, Colt & Mosel on Wall Street. I believe John and family live in Scarsdale.

Notes: June 1969

Some more about Carroll Brewster, Dartmouth's next Dean. This was announced previously, but for those who did not have the good fortune of knowing Carroll, a little insight into how lucky Dartmouth is. Carroll was a scholar of the house at Yale, then spent a year at Cambridge University, and then to Yale Law School where he was an editor of the Law Journal. He clerked for Connecticut U.S. District Court Chef Judge Timbers for one year. Then he was named an MIT Fellow in Africa and became a legal assistant to the Chief Justice of the Sudan, editor of the Sudan Law Journal and Report, and visiting lecturer at the University of Khartoum. He learned to speak Sudanese Arabic. His accomplishments and his enthusiasm and admiration for the people of the Sudan were highly praised in the March 1966 issue of the New York magazine. Among other vocations and positions in the New Haven area, Carroll leaves a prominent law firm, his position as lecturer at the Yale Law School, where he is now secretary to the school's graduate committee charged with the supervision of foreign graduate students, and his position as U.S. Commissioner in Connecticut. Quite a guy!

Continuing in the international vein I received a postcard from Frank C. Lin advising that his marriage was postponed to August 3rd, "as he couldn't get hold of the priest before then." I reported his marriage erroneously in the November issue. Don and Sarah Rohlfing just returned to London from touring Spain with Ben and Joanie Case. Don recommends Marbella (Costa del Sol) to any who get to Spain. Ben and Joanie went on to Portugal and Italy and then stayed with the Rohlfings in London. Don made a fruitless attempt to locate Jose de Vicuna. From all I can gather, he has vanished. Incidentally, all zoo alumni are cordially invited to visit the Rohlfing's at 22 Fountain House, Park Street in London. Bob and Pam Pelletreau are in Imman, Jordan, where Bob is in the State Department. They have one daughter and expect another this summer. Another baby, Heinz Gunder Molsen, arrived March 23rd and joined Elizabeth (6) and Kaari-Ana (4½) in Dallas, Tex.

Uncle Sam finally nailed Franco Muggia for a tour with the Public Health Service. Off to Bethesda, Md., with Anna, his wife, and four daughters to work in the National Cancer Institute, while on leave from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Peter Williams and two other associates from Norden have formed a company in Newtown, Conn. called Computer-Optics, producers of a new digital read-out apparatus. Peter and his family will move from Wilton to Newtown. Peter B. Fritzsche has been appointed director--acquisition planning of Quaker Oats Company in Chicago. Realizing his indispensability and yet not aware of where his talents might be best utilized. Quaker formed a new position. Pete will be responsible for developing, implementing and coordinating all merger, acquisition and divestiture policies and activities for the corporation. He was Assistant to the Treasurer at Quaker and prior to that Vice President and Manager of the Industrial Growth Capital Corporation in Indianapolis. He and his wife, Ruth, and two children live in Lincoln Park. John Kohler has been appointed Marketing Manager for Kohler Company's new line of fiberglass reinforced plastic plumbing fixtures. John is a great-grandson of the founder and will make his headquarters at Kohler, Wis. He was a salesman in the company's St. Louis office, manager of the Kansas City Branch sales Office, and manager of the Boston branch sales office prior to his present move.

Had lunch with Todd Kendrick, who is living in Wilton, Conn., with his wife, two daughters, and son. He has a young, exciting firm in Wilton, Todd Kendrick Associates, executive search consultants and has three men working for him. Just ask him about his 4-S program--Specify, Search, Screen, and Sell. Also in Wilton are Fred and Julie Gaston and their three children, Fred IIV, Tom and Diana. It should be duly noted that Fred and his partner reached the finals of the Wilton Riding Club men's double paddle tennis tournament this year. Watch out!

Class dues--if you wish to avoid more dunning correspondence from Charlie Peet, please send your check today. The response has been encouraging, but there are still a few delinquents. Thanks very much.

—C. Michael O'Hearn

Notes: April 1969

With the influx of girls next year, the President has appointed no other than Sam Chauncey as Director of Administrative Planning for Co-education. As one of the few remaining bachelors in our Class, Mr. Chauncey was a logical and a wise choice. This is work?

Chris and Sally Sonne are the proud parents of Peter Christian who arrived January 18th. Congratulations--the first of many we presume.

A very nice note from Nancy Mongillo. Frank III was born October 24th, and Nancy said he is just like his old man. On January 31st, Mayor Richard Lee appointed the old man, Frank, to the Board of Ethics of the City of New Haven for the term of two years. Frank will attempt to juggle this together with his flourishing law practice and representation of various teacher groups throughout Connecticut.

From Lake Forest College we hear that Dr. Tung Hon Jeong, Associate Professor of Physics, a pioneer in the technique of lenless holography, has written a special report "Holography Comes Out of the Cellar" about the process by which holograms can be produced without "elaborate facilities such as large granite slabs and high power lasers located in vibration-free areas such as basements." Until very recently, Dr. Jeong explains, the technique of producing a three-dimensional image on a flat, transparent photoplate was limited to specialists with expensive paraphernalia. However, the new system which he describes brings holography "out of the cellar" and within the reach of many persons besides "the privileged few" to whom it was formerly available. The new system which is described in the illustrated article in a recent issue of Optical Spectra is now available, with laser for a moderate cost. It can even be used in lecture demonstrations with the lecturer constructing large scene holograms in front of an audience in a lecture hall. Dr, Jeong has been invited to lecture before artists and laymen, as well as engineering associations and at government and industrial laboratories and universities. He is a member of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America and a past president of the Chicago section of the American Association of Physics Teachers. He finds time to play tennis and swim and he is also a violinist in the Lake Forest Symphony Orchestra.

Another very interesting letter from Mitch Kur. Being basically lazy, I will quote, "After three years on General Electric's manufacturing training program, my wife, Carol, and I settled (as permanently as one ever becomes with General Electric) in Utica, N.Y. We spent five years there, during which time we had our first two daughters. I received my MBA from Syracuse University, and held a number of positions at G.E., including those of production supervisor and manager of methods and time standards. G.E. then transferred us to the Boston area, and we bought a home in Framingham, Mass. In October 1966 I left G.E. and joined the consulting firm of Dyer-Lundberg Associates, Inc., as a Senior Consultant. Recently, I was promoted to Executive Vice President of Dyer-Lundberg, and now look forward to assisting any of my former classmates (as well as anyone else) in resolving their business problems. My wife, Carol, and two partners opened a gem of a little art gallery a little over a year ago. For you art buffs in the Boston area, the name of it is Galleri III, located at 324 Boston Post Road (Rt. 120), Sudbury, Mass. The gallery represents approximately 90 artists from the entire Untied States. All works are original; there are oils, water colors, prints, sculpture, pottery, and ceramics, all reasonably priced. We welcome the coed revolution at the University, since we now have three children, all very lovely girls, named Alison (age 7), Susan (age 5), and Dana Beth (age 15 months). Our newest current home address is 5 Westgate Road, Framingham, Mass."

Notes: March 1969

My apologies for missing the February issue. I will try not to let that happen again.

News from the business world: In the New York Times was a prominent picture of Peter Loeb, who was just made a General Partner of Loeb, Rhoades. Ronald Bland was made a partner of Levinson and Friedman in Seattle, Wash. Our former Class Secretary, Ed Meyer is now a partner in the law firm of Roth, Carlson, Kwit, Spangler and Mallin which has new offices at 280 Park Avenue in New York. Our present Class Treasurer, Charlie Peet, has become a Partner of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley and McCloy.

Frank Brown has joined Smith Barney in their Institutional Department in New York. Chris Sonne has been elected a Vice President of Drexel, Harriman, Ripley, again in New York. He became an Assistant Vice President in 1966. George Doty has joined Glore, Forgan and Wm. R. Stats, Inc. as a Vice President and Director of Research. George has overall responsibility for the firm's research activities; separate research staffs are maintained in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. George moved over from U.S. Trust Company of New York where he was an Assistant Vice President and Economist.

I received a nice letter from Ralph Lilore, who was made a partner in the New York City patent law firm of Ward, McElhannon, Brooks and Fitzpatrick. In addition to occasionally seeing J.D. Watson, Denny Griswold, Randy Guggenheimer and Tony Hogan, Ralph saw Gary Cann in Union Carbide's South Charleston, W.Va. cafeteria. Then they went out to lunch. Away from New York City, Vern Loucks has been appointed Vice President, European operations for Baxter International. Earlier in the year Vern was promoted to Vice President, Administration. He will move his wife and two sons to Brussels.

Maj. Peter Haerle is a pilot in the Pacific Air Forces where he is on duty at Udorn Royal Thai AFB, Thailand. Previously he was at Mountain Home AFB, Idaho. Dr. Paul Rosenstein was thoughtful to write from Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Tex. After completing residency in obstetrics and gynecology in June 1967, he interned on active duty with USAF. Unfortunately Paul's first wife passed away. He has remarried to Wanda K. Steffen, a registered nurse. His children (Suzy 5, and Lynne 3) are growing like weeds. Paul will depart from the Air Force this July and plans to enter private practice somewhere on the East Coast. He has found time to publish some articles during the past few years.

Charlie Abuza has announced that his fortune will not all go to charity. A son, Zachary, popped into the world on December 8th with both hands out. George Dunn, the godfather, was there to greet Zachary with his first bottle--of scotch. Charlie says, despite the baby, Suzy plans to continue to be a market research mogul. Her own company, Susan Messer Associates, Inc., is heading for its fourth anniversary. From what Charlie can gather she was running the business from her hospital bed two days after the baby arrived. I might add that nowhere in the letter did he mention that he had tried to discourage Suzy's business pursuits. Charlie and a '62 law classmate, William Goldfarb, have a general law practice in New York City, mainly corporate and estate work. Last summer, he bought a brownstone in Brooklyn Heights and two of his high-rent paying tenants are Wendy and Tom Chittenden.

Dr. and Mrs. Paul Hull produced a son, Robert Austin, on October 14th, their second child, first son. The Hull's are living in Titusville, Fla., where Paul is practicing gynecology and obstetrics. Another birth: Olivia 7 pounds, 2 ounces, on January 8th to Julie and Ralph Douglas. First child for the Douglas'. Ralph is a Vice President of Mackey-Shields Financial Corporation, in New York. Ralph received a letter from Charles Cushman, who is teaching in Japan but expects to move to Taiwan for a couple of years. His address is 24-111 Chyesome, Mejirodia, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan.

Ted Notz, a partner in the Chicago law firm of Notz, Craven, Penner, Maloney and Price writes that he was married November 30th to Sandra Keep; Sandy is expecting a baby around Labor Day.

Of international flavor, Rutgers Barclay, Marketing Manager of Squaw Valley, was named Chief of Press of the International World Cup Races held at Squaw Valley February 26th to March 1st. Teams from eight counties were expected to compete in the races which were to be televised nationally on March 1st.

We took another run down to Sin City, N.J., one weekend in January (I am not sure which one; however) where I saw Hank Hulshizer and also John Poinier's father. They were the only two men I saw. I thought Jim Brady might be around, but he may have been chasing the fox. Well to each his own. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my understanding wife for her cordiality toward my former (yes Mike, former!), Conn. College sweetheart who resides nearby in Convert, N.J. Goodnight, Nancy.

—C. Michael O'Hearn

Notes: January 1969

Sitting in the New York Yale Club barber shop, I was pleasantly surprised to see Steve Hopkins park right next to me. We did not have much of a chance to chat, but Steve still is in Albany working for Governor Rockefeller. While on the subject of politics, it was with pride that I mention that Ted Notz put up an excellent fight as Republican candidate for Congress in the ninth Congressional District in Chicago. His opponent, Sidney Yates, a many-time incumbent, was the victor, but all reports are that Ted did extremely well under the circumstances.

Received a nice letter from Bern Kosto. He, his wife, Gale, and their 1-year-old son, Adam Joshua, live at 706 Lombard St. in Central City, Pa., on the border of urban renewal. In June Bern completed his urology residency at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. He says he "promptly changed uniforms and went on to active duty with the Navy as Lieutenant Commander in the Medical Corps, and staff urologist at the naval Hospital in Philadelphia."

Steve Colgate is Vice President of Sailing Symposiums, Inc. with offices in Chicago and New York. He participated on the U.S. Olympic Yachting Team which sailed off Acapulco where he crewed for Gardiner Cox from Philadelphia on the latter's 5.5 Metre called Cadenze. Though favored to a win a medal because of having beaten very stiff competition in trials off Newport Beach, Calif., Steve relates that they "blew it" in the Olympics. He has been commissioned by Fund & Wagnalls (look that up in yours) to write a book on sailing and by Sports Illustrated to do an article on sailboat crewing (probably will appear in late spring). Steve sent along some very interesting articles about some of the sailing classes and schools he runs. He runs classes in such places as San Francisco, Galveston, Chicago, Washington, and Toronto and a terrific week-long school at West End, Grand Bahama Island. If anyone is interested in improving his sailing abilities, I suggest he write Steve at sailing Symposiums, Inc., 159 East Chicago Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60611.

Two brief notes: Dave Reed proudly announced the birth of his first child, Alison, who is just about exactly 1-year old. Bill Hamm has joined Astro Plastics in San Francisco.
