James F. Hoyle, Rochester, Michigan, writes, “I raise my ante in honor, so Bill McCulloh tells me, of Kenyon’s having twenty-five classics majors! I passed away mid-life myself by learning a bit of Greek and Hebrew. Esse quam videri, as we Archons say.” Richard E. Promin, Ocala, Florida, writes, “I still enjoy practicing internal medicine full-time both in hospital and office in Ocala. On a different note, I just received the latest Alumni Bulletin featuring Dance Weekends. Whoever thought of featuring those weekends ought to get a medal, and did that ever bring back some memories. Best to all.”

Charles W. Greaves, Bensenville, Illinois, reports that he is almost fully recovered from a broken leg that he acquired from a fall he took while closing up his Michigan cottage. Charles tells us that he met James G. Carr ’62 at St. John’s Chapel on Portage, and he hopes to take him sailing the next time they meet up. Charles did, however, get to take the “high seas historian,” John B. Hattendorf ’64, sailing on his Merit 25, and tells us it was wonderful. Charles says he wants Kenyon folks to contact him if they are ever in Onekama, Michigan. He would be glad to see you. James D. Morgan, New York City, was recently awarded the Outstanding Teaching Award by NYU’s College of Arts and Sciences.

Paul F. Hill, Omaha, Nebraska, writes, “Well, I turned the dreaded eighty years old on December 25, 2011. Sort of a shock, but I am too busy to notice. I rashly promised a new book on Ponzi, pyramid, and multi-level marketing schemes to my publisher, Lawyers and Judges Publishing Company in Tucson. It will be my sixth or seventh book for L & J. Gives me something to do, to say the least.”

Robert J. Clawson, Acton, Massachusetts, writes, “In 2011, I spent six weeks in Spain. In Madrid, at the Reina Sofia, standing before Picasso’s Guernica, I thought that we should have it as a billboard in every town in America, even Gambier.” Brig. Gen. Roger C. Smith, Moneta, Virginia, is still enjoying life at Smith Mountain Lake with his antique boats. Roger tells us that twenty-four years after his retirement from the Air Force, he will be the featured guest speaker at the Air Force’s fiftieth anniversary of the Titan II Missile System in Tucson, Arizona. Roger writes, “I was a member of the first combat crew certified to launch that intercontinental ballistic missile, fifty years ago. Time flies!”
