Find life most rewarding and satisfying professionally and family- w15e. The chance to make a worthwhile contribution to the society in whtch I live through hospital administration is most gratifying.

decided to give academic medicine a trial, and have yet to regret this decision. The mixture of teaching, research, and patient care I have found a heady one, and my one complaint is that of late an inordinate amount of my time and energy is expended on administrative matters. Peg and I are approaching our 25th wedding anniversary and one of our five children is already married. We feel much too young to be imminent grandparents, but are trying to slip into middle age as gracefully as possi- ble. We have been a skiing family with strong emotional ties to the land and the life of northern New England. It is our hope to be able to acquire a second home in Vermont in the not-too-distant futurFthe one goal not yet achieved. In retrospect, the past 25 years have been more rewarding in most respects than I had dared to hope for. If the next 25 wear as well I will consider myself extremely fortunate. WALLACE C.

After graduation, I served in the Pacific as Lt. Gg1 U.S.N. Supply Corps. The post-war period from 1946-1958 was pragmatically devoted to develop- ing a career in corporate finance and accounting. In 1958, at age 35, I gave up my position as a corporate financial oHicer, and started a new career as owner of a commercial general insurance agency. Today this firm has grown to be one of the leading agencies in Eastern Pennsylvania. Time and energy-wise the new business career has permitted my active participation in other interests: Republican politics tCounty Finance Chair- mani, amateur painting, running and swimming, civic functions WMCA, Baum Art School, Art Museumi, and family life. I married Barbara Young in 1944. She has become the active Republican particularly on the State and National level. She was delegate to the National Conventions in 1960, 1964 and 1968. Our progeny consists of two daughters. The older tCaroD is married and teaching elementary school art after graduating from Temple in 1967. The younger, Joan, graduated from Pine Manor Jr. College ther mother's c01- legei in 1967 and Albion College. Looking back 25 years there are no regrets, and I am looking forward to new interests and activities which are sure to come along, as a citizen in our exciting community and nation. MIIIHW
