Other members of the Class of 1950 may have shared my regret as a student in the late 1940s that the University's football program failed to attract national attention and that the scores of our games were rarely heard over the national radio networks on autumn afternoons. Having later spent six years in Syracuse and 34 years on the faculty of a Big Ten school, it is clear to me now that we were blessed. I still rarely hear the scores of Rochester football games on Saturday afternoons in the Midwest, implying that sports are still receiving attention in proportion to their overall importance to the University and its students. Now, I'm delighted.
I visited old friend Jim Hursh '53M (MD) in Batavia, N.Y., several months ago. His wife, Joyce, died several years ago and partial paralysis from a stroke has prevented his continuing to practice obstetrics and gynecology. The latter affected his movements but has not diminished his sharpness or sense of humor. Jim is at home at 243 East Avenue, Batavia, NY 14020.

They are at 2811 Chateau Circle South, Columbus, OH 43221.

Val and John Rathbone took a short vacation to Iceland to visit daughter Elizabeth, son-in-law Daryn, and grandson Ian who are stationed at the NATO base at Keflavik. Says John, "One of the few--'Very few,' adds Val--advantages of aging is entering the '60-years-plus' window of opportunity offered by the Department of Defense for its retirees. We were able to take advantage of flying on a space-available basis. After three trips to Philadelphia, we were able to board a flight. It was a great trip. Iceland is a country of epic scenery: volcanoes, mountains, glaciers, farmland, and waterfalls. The climate was just right, the kids were well, Ian is a delight, and we returned refreshed and ready to do it again."
