sends this news:
“I just celebratedmy 90th birth-
day. It is certainly hard to be-
lieve, but time does fly by. I was
given a surprise reception at the
Bellamy Mansion, attended by
about 112 family and friends in
Wilmington, N.C., including my
good Marine friends, Lt. Gen.
Robert Milstead and Maj. Gen.
Robert Dickerson, which was
gratifying. I know that you have
a lot of snow up there and I wish
we could have a little bit of it
down here, but it’s very rare. I
plan to keep in touch.”

Michael Coe
submits his latest
news: “The ninth edition of my
book,
The Maya
, will be out in
May. For this edition, I’ve got
a co-author, Stephen Houston,
my former student and a pro-
fessor at Brown. I’m currently
working with colleagues on a
definitive edition of the fourth
known Maya codex (folding-
screen book). My travels this
past year included the archaeo-
logical and cultural sites of Iran,
and the unforgettable Bhutan.
Bhutan, the last remaining
independent Buddhist kingdom
in the Himalayas, really is a
Shangri La. Long may it remain
that way.”

Clarence “Clacky” King
re-
ports: It looks as thoughSt. Paul’s
is more famous than we ever
imagined.
Porter Hopkins
is
“Turlock Chief” of the Turlock
Society. An article about this
made the front page of
The
Star Democrat
, the local Easton,
Maryland newspaper. Wasn’t it
nice that Porter was instrumen-
tal in Mr. Cheney becoming a
member of this society?”

Truman Bidwell
telephoned
to say that, while in Chicago,
he had major knee surgery.
He recommends that anyone
considering a knee or hip re-
placement consider Dr. Berger
of Rush Hospital. Truman re-
ports that he will be returning
to the ski slopes this winter.
Phil Price
has made a remark-
able recovery and several of
us came down to celebrate his
80th birthday. Among those in
attendance were
Bill Emery,
Peter Mather, David Sinkler
and I. Phil looks terrific and his
toast to his family and friends
stirred us all.
Bob MacLean
writes: “I
retired in 1994 after serving
as deputy commissioner and
commissioner of the Texas
Department of Health. Prior to
that, various positions includ-
ing director of the Houston
Health Department. Homes are
in Houston and, in summer, at
our lake house in Canaan, N.H.
Sergey Ourusoff
has a family
summer place on Lake Sunapee
just 40 minutes from us, so we
try to get together each year.
Our family consists of four
children and six grandchildren.
