Charles P. Tranfield, Keene, New Hampshire, underwent carpal tunnel surgery on his hand early in the year, but outside of this all is going well. Charlie still plays tennis and bridge three times a week, and though Keene gets a lot of snow, it has proven to be a great place to retire. Charlie and his wife, Pat, spend part of each year at their beach house on Long Island with the "kids" and their families. Bruce K. Willitts, Shelburne, Vermont, writes that he and his wife, Gretchen, are living happily in a retirement community.

Edward M. Ames, Plainfield, Connecticut, writes, "I tread the slippery slope with care, have given up bicycling, enjoy napping, and do occasional tutoring, the latest being a girl from Saudi Arabia whose father wants her to marry and bring the rest of her family to America where she was born!" Ed also writes and tries to stay ahead of his office clutter with the help of his wife, Mona.

John L. Hammond, Portland, Oregon, has been retired for twenty years, but his wife, Alice, has only recently retired, enabling them to experiment with "snowbirding." After thirty years of living through the Pacific Northwest's wet and gray winters, they spent January and February in southeast Arizona, near Tucson, and enjoyed the change greatly. They plan to go back again next year, possibly for three months. John and Alice were guests at the Portland reception that President Nugent attended. She brought them up to date on current developments on campus and gave a lively and interesting talk on the values of a liberal education such as Kenyon offers. John says, "It was good to be with such a goodly company of Kenyon folk, mostly young, of course. But there were a handful of older types, like us."
