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.

Today this firm has grown to be one of the leading agencies in Eastern Pennsylvania.

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

Have played quite a bit of duplicate bridge With partner wife. Changing jobs and moving has been educational and broadening to us and our 2 boys4especially them. Ginny and I both moved around in the service tshe was a WAVEL so this was almost a way of life with us. We started our married life by returning to Dartmouth just after our marriage and discharge from service. Stayed in Hanover until I finished Tuck School with Masters degree 0946-19471. The world of finance, accounting and data processing has been my field, with side interests in taxation and systems work. It has been far more interesting than most people imagine it to be. Passing CPA exam was big thrill. Our big interests have been our 2 boys, getting them through boy scouts tthey both made eaglw and into the college of their choice4just two of the many things they have done which have made us proud of them. Present location and job appears to be last stop in my career. Am working in family business with brother-in-law and father-in-law and am enjoying putting into practice all the things I learned while Working for others. Running a small business is a challenging and fascinating job, and the three of us are having a lot of fun in doing it. 27 Willi; W i 122 ii if
