JOHN WESLEY BOSSARD A Marylander all the way, John was born in Hagerstown on August 5, 1924, married Esther Holter in August of 1946 in Middletown and now lives in Glen Burnie. Reversing the usual trend, John went to Carolina for his college days, received an A.B. from Duke University in Durham. On January 5, 1951, John and Es- ther became the parents of a son whom they named Robert. John is quiet, unassuming, ap- parently unharassed by trivia of any sort; is def- initely not the ulcer type. He has made no long term plans— he figures the future will take care of itself. JOHN VANDALE BRANNON John V. Brannon, better known to friends and bridge opponents as Sly John, hails from Bridgeport in the Mountaineer State. He at- tended the University of West Virginia for sev- eral years when the call of the west took him to Texas. He helped develop the Rockefeller funds until Uncle Sam called him to instruct A.A.F. Cadets, after which he flew a B-29 over Japan. In 1942 Pauline Ward took John in hand. Since then John Jr., 7, and Beverly Joan, 5, have assumed command. Upon discharge John returned to Fairmont State College and was rewarded with a B.S. John plans a quiet life in the southwest as a G.P. 20
