For more than 10 years Sue Rose Bessey and her husband, Earle, enjoyed the thrill and companionship of skiing with a group of friends a couple of weeks each winter in a number of European countries, including France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria. The group was known as "the Washingtonians" and included Colby alumni Tee and Anita Pooler Laliberte, Muriel and Bob Tonge 49, Karl 54 and Jane Millett Dornish 55 and Paul and Germaine Michaud Orloff 55. Once this became impossible for Earle and Sue to do physically they looked for an alternative to spending the winter in snow country. Their solution has been a small town in Arizona, Green Valley, which is located about 26 miles south of Tucson and about 25 miles north of the Mexican border at Nogales. Green Valley has a large number of seniors avoiding a harsher winter climate. Many recreational centers, golf courses and interesting study courses for mental stimulation are big drawing cards. A multitude of interesting day trips add to its allure as well as those straight roads with high speed limits, where state police are outnumbered by border patrol on the highways. Sue and Earle also enjoy seeing Watervilles Bob and Judy Kany, who have a lovely home in Saddle Brook in the northern Tucson area. To top it all off, their grandson from Simsbury, Conn., became so enchanted with the desert and mountains of the Southwest that he is currently enrolled as a freshman at the University of Arizona in Tucson. From December 29 through April 13 their address will be 1529 Belfry Court, Green Valley, AZ 85614, phone number 520-399-2748. If you are in the area, give them a call. . . . John Stevens writes from San Diego that he attended the P-38 reunion in Palm Springs at the end of May. John planned to attend the Eighth AF group reunion in Dayton at the end of September and was looking forward to another such reunion (but not the cold weather) in Norwich, England, in November. The town of Norwich is rebuilding the city's central library, which burned down in 1994 with John's Second Air Division's memorial in it. The reunion purpose is to re-dedicate their memorial.

Ralph Braudy summers in Hyannis, Mass., and then returns to Los Angeles for the winter. In the class news questionnaire, alumni were asked to share a favorite memory of Colby's former presidents, faculty or staff, and Ralph reminisces about dating President Bixler's daughter Harriet. He also writes about pushing a sled with a keg of beer concealed by a blanket from the Tau Delt house to the Phi Delt house. He says his favorites were "Ecky with Brecky, English lit with Chappie, history with Wilkie and of course, Pop Newman."
