A brief note on the Christmas card from<br />

John '60 and Helen Zesch Ward mentioned<br />

that they, too, had bought a house and<br />

planned to move Jan. 1. Helen promised<br />

more details later, which I'll hope to pass<br />

along next month. The card from Scott,<br />

Katie (Simmons), Theresa, and Christopher<br />

Roberts indicated a "new" return address:<br />

Trumbull, Conn. John was discharged from<br />

the Marine Corps in May and joined Sikorsky<br />

Aircraft as an operations analyst. He<br />

February. Liz and John welcomed a new<br />

"David has a brother!" proclaimed the<br />

birth announcement from Stephen L. and<br />

Joanne Hirsch Shapiro. Jonathan Edward<br />

weighed in at 8 lbs., 10 oz. on Dec. 1, joining<br />

David, 2 in April, in the Shapiro nursery.<br />

The family has recently moved to Upton,<br />

where their mail goes to Bldg. T117,<br />

Brookhaven National Laboratory. Steve is<br />

working toward a PhD in physics, and they<br />

hope to hear from any of you who may<br />

live in the vicinity.<br />

From Mill Valley, Calif. (519 Montford<br />

Ave.), comes announcement of the Dec. 20<br />

birth of Dana Rand to Dr. David H. '61 and<br />

Gail Wlodinger Bliimin. Dana has a big sister<br />

Cynara, VΛ, and together they are conspiring<br />

to keep Gail busy. David is a firstyear<br />

surgical resident at the US Public<br />

Health Service Hospital in San Francisco.<br />

Also celebrating the arrival of a new<br />

daughter are John and Amy Smith Yancey,<br />

letter has just arrived from Margaret Sandelin<br />

The Bensons and daughter Daisy, 3, live at<br />

205 Voorhees Ave., Buffalo, where Tom is<br />

on the faculty of the State U of N.Y. Both<br />

he and Margaret received graduate degrees<br />

from that institution last September: Tom<br />

his PhD and Margaret her master's. She has<br />

been teaching nursery school under an OEO<br />

program for the past year and a half. Margaret<br />

wrote that Bill '63 and Marcia Goldberg<br />

Greenbaum have just purchased a 200year-old<br />

house in Gloucester, Mass. (8 Atlantic<br />

St.). They recently took time out from<br />

their respective jobs as reporter for the Boston<br />

Herald and as apprentice arbitrator under<br />

Sol Wallens for a trip to Europe. Also<br />

from Margaret's letter is the news that<br />

Lewis, MS '63, and Ruth Opler Perry '63<br />

department at SUNY at Buffalo and she<br />

working since May 31 for The Morgan<br />

Guaranty Trust Co., 23 Wall St., New York,<br />

and living at 251 E. 51st St., New York. The<br />

Fleet Home Town <strong>News</strong> Center was kind<br />

enough to add that Bob Morgan "has been<br />

graduated from the US Naval Officer Candidate<br />

School at Newport. While in a 16week<br />

program of academic and leadership<br />

curriculum, he studied both naval sciences<br />

and leadership essentials equipping him to<br />

assume his responsibilities as a Naval officer.<br />

Within a month of his graduation, he<br />

will report to assigned duties either afloat or<br />

ashore."<br />

Not to be outdone, the US Air Force<br />

Home Town <strong>News</strong> Center countered with<br />

the news that 1st Lt. William P. Lage Jr.,<br />

has graduated from their F-4C Phantom II<br />

pilot course and has been assigned to fly<br />

same out of Ramstein AB, Germany, for our<br />

NATO forces. Bill is married to the former<br />

shortly with the announcement that<br />

Madison, N.J., has been appointed an assistant<br />

treasurer of Bankers Trust. He joined<br />

the bank in 1963 and has been with the<br />

for the past year. John and his wife, the former<br />

Deborah Ann Bremer, are the parents of<br />

two children; Scott, 4, and Lisa, 3. Leonard<br />

P. Adams, completely unaided by any PR<br />

types, provided his address. To wit, c/o<br />

Shapiro, 144-40-73 Ave., Flushing.<br />

In case you haven't guessed, there hasn't<br />

been much news filtering up here to the Central<br />

Highlands. Less'n some of you people<br />

send in a few squibs, I'll have to sally forth<br />

from this sandbagged bunker of mine and<br />

interview some local VC and a few of the<br />

neighborhood montagnards.<br />

Alexandria, Va. 22305<br />

Two of our class's envoys to Viet Nam,<br />

Charlie Sweet and Tom Sturdevant, have extended<br />

their enlistments. Both are working<br />

with Vietnamese civilians for the US State<br />

Department: Tom as assistant province representative<br />

for refugee affairs in Pleiku,<br />

Charlie as head of the youth and student<br />

program, office of civil operations.<br />

In the beginning of his tour, Tom worked<br />

with monΐagnard farmers to build an agricultural<br />

training center. He designed the curriculum<br />

and planned farm demonstrations.<br />

He is proud he has helped teach the villagers<br />

"to become agents of change, agents who<br />

will survive and affect the Vietnamese countryside<br />

long after we Americans have departed."<br />

Charlie has had a more glamorous job<br />

working with Viet Nam's volatile youth. He<br />

works with the Vietnamese Secretary of<br />

State for Youth, a cabinet official, to develop<br />

programs channelling young energy into<br />

nation-building activities. In his three years<br />

of travels from Hue to the Mekong, he has<br />

seen the mood of youth shift from nonconstructive<br />

political demonstrations to participation<br />

in civic action programs. More<br />

than 12,000 young Vietnamese lived and<br />

worked in rural hamlets last summer, he reports.<br />

In fact, Charlie may be the second of<br />
