1965: '65 Exec Bd: Doughty, Coll, Kuhn and Sanchez

Greetings once again from Chicago. Please note the new mailing address and tel number. The ltrs and pix picked up a little this time, but we still need more--of graduations, weddings, etc.

The Exec Bd met at WP in May and finalize plans for the 30th. The Reunion Cmte will be Chuck Boohar, Don Kurtz and Carl Peterson. The date is 4 Nov 95. If you want to volunteer, call Chuck. Still working on gift ideas to be presented to Cl and other details. More to follow from Pres Kuhn.

Pic above shows Exec Cmte (Doughty, Coll, Kuhn and Sanchez) working hard! Bob Doughty had a great idea for a gift for contributors, re: reproduction of WP War's Atlas map.

1965: McEliece digging a hole

While at WP, Julie McEliece showed me the work Jim was doing outside their qtrs on Thayer Rd putting in the new steam line-and who says that the permanent staff doesn't work hard!! Down the river, Fred Smith is the pres of Foster-Wheeler, a steel co. While we were there, the Charles Kuralt Sunday Morn show did a piece on WP. It aired that following Sun and had a great segment with Bob Doughty, showing the producer through the WP cem in the Cl's section. Well done, Bob.

Nic pic of Ernie Westpheling talking at Ft Monmouth FD--could he have been the oldest grad there?? I tracked down Denny Sellers in Charlotte, NC after running into a friend of his here. Left several phone messages-Denny, if you're there, please call. Bob Axley rep that Jim Holmes is in Dallas after running State Lottery games for IN and OK.

Curt Adams was in town in May and brought me up-to-date on his travels.
