REUNION—Jvne 11-12-13

Towson, Md,
It has been a long time since we had our last
chat through the class column in the ALUMNUS!
Our letter of July 20 really got quite a reaction
in at least one part of the country — New York
City. ANDY ^L\FFEI sent his letter back by return
mail with notes all over it. We replied immediately
and asked, among other things, why be
didn't return the questionnaire along ^vlth his explosion.
(The form came a few days later.) Within
a week PHIL HEINLE returned his letter (with
comments) attached to his questionnaire.
We apologized to "Banjo" and asked him to
pass the word to the rest of the Saint Regis crowd
—- and now we do it publicly! We are sorry that
we did not publish your notes as they arrived back
in '63.
As we prepared our material for this trip to
press, the .August-September ALUMNUS arrived
— and we arc very glad we waited until deadline
so we can correct a ratlier serious rumor. Imagine
our surprise to read that we are very near our old
Wgor (as a secretarv) since our recent marriage.
FOR THE RECORD — SUCH A RUMOR IS
WITHOUT BASIS IX FACT!
Several months ago we wrote to JIM ARM*
STRONG about a number of things having to do
with Reunion, and included was a short paragrapli
about the possibility of remarriage, a few facts
about the possible, prospective bride, etc. THE
MOMENT HAS NOT ARRIVED AND %VE ARE
STILL VERY MUCH THE "MERRY WIDOW­
ER!" If, as, and when the happy day and hour
roll around — you will all be the first to know.
(It is not expected for another year or so, and
do not expect to meet the bride-to-be at Reunion;
she teaches school and will be busy mth her little
3rd graders!)
As of the last day of September we have received
only 82 questionnaires. This Is only about
15% of the class and far below the total returns In
1959-60. (We sent out 3 mailings five years ago
and received returns, eventually, from 271.
Fifty-nine said they were returning for Reunion
next June — that's about 70% of the replies. Fifteen
were uncertain and eight gave a definite
"NO." Really we are concerned about the total
figure, both replies and those declaring themselves
in for next June. If this is an Indication of interest
in our 30th celebration, the local committee
may as \ven start revamping their gala plans. How
about it, men? Ts this your last word? Or can we
expect a flood of questionnaires around Christmas
after you read this story?
Before %ve get to the questionnaire material, we
have a few notes about three other men.
TOM PROCTOR came back to life during the
summer. He has returned from Spain and is assodated
with the Joseph Dean Edwards law firm In New
York. He Is located on Battery Place in The
Whitehall Building. We are looking forward to a
visit in Baltimore one of these days to catch up on
the passing years. Two long-distance phone calls
and a luncheon with Mr. and )Crs. Edwards just
got us ready for a real long session.
ROY SCHOLZ, a fellow Baltimorian, had a ^
cinating experience last May. He spent a month with
the Tom Dooley Foundation in Algeria nmomg an
85-bed eye hospital in Algiers. Apparently Roy
spent more time in surgery for those 30 days than
he would normally spend In many times that number
of days back home.
PAT FISHER sent along a dipping from the
Wakefield, Mich., paper about "Beanie" Cavender.
Col. SAVING W. CAVENDER. U.S. Medical
Corps, has taken over the duties of surgeon for
the Field Command, Defense Atomic Support
Agency, Sandia Base, N3L (His address in 3301-
43ni Place.) "Beanie" moved to Sandia Base from
Landstuhl, Germany, where he had been commanding
officer of the 3742nd USA Nuclear Medical Research
Detachment.
While we are on the subject of notes, we have two
of our own. BILL TOUMEY dropped in to see us
by phone during the summer. His FR firm in NYC
is handling the Bendix account in Baltimore. KIl
was staying at the Holiday Inn near our house
and suggested a ctMktail before dmner. Since our
