Vice-president of the Associated Hospital Service of New York (Blue Cross). Through arrangements with the New York Blue Cross, I have served as consulting actuary for a number of Blue Cross-Blue Shield plans.
My wife and I have two hobbies which we enjoy greatly: square dancing and traveling. Only another dyed-in-the-wool square dancer would understand the pleasure we get from our weekly dances plus occasional weekend and summer vacation dance camps. Since our children graduated from college, we have taken four trips to Europe and one to Hawaii. We like to read up in advance, try to get a little of the language, and then rent a car in the foreign country and see it on our own at leisure. Because of our travels in France we have taken an interest in studying French and are eager students at the adult education course in conversational French in a local school.
I continue to enjoy the sports in which I have engaged for many years, badminton and swimming. I am a member of the board of trustees of the Larchmont Avenue Presbyterian Church.

I am afraid there is nothing to add to the report made in 1950.

Accordingly, doing some jet commuting to Los Angeles these days, but will be in Cambridge come June.
As president of the Altar Guild at Christ's Church in Rye, New York, Virginia is kept busy polishing the Queen Anne silver - and even busier at home brushing poodles. My principal interest: try- ing to get tenth-grader Linda into Vassar or Wellesley. Diversion: relaxing at the Apawamis Beach Club.

Diversions: Pride myself on having built an unique atomic- bomb-shelter with complete self-sufficient equipment, including an independent light and power supply for same. Shelter has provision for complete protection from atomic fall-out.

There has been no change in the statistics except age, and very little change in my activities since the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Report. Increasing time given to Boy Scouts cancelled my fire department duties as my major contribution to life in the suburbs. There are many minor items, committee work, serving as district chairman for the Community Chest drive, and the like.

See the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Report - that's me for better or worse. This whole sheet is probably too late for anything but the scrap basket; just found it misplaced among scads of the inevi- table fourth class mail that seems to follow a degree as the night follows the day. Good luck to all! P.S .: Our way of life now includes wintering on a houseboat (Here's How II) in Florida waters. It seems that not quite everyone has made it there yet!
JACOB BERTRAM WALLACH: Executive. Home Address, 116 E. 66th St., New York 21, N.Y. Office Address, 232 Madison Ave., New York 16, N.Y. Married, Gisela Jahncke, May 14, 1943, New York, N.Y.
My interests and activities over the past five years have been little changed. My diversions still are traveling and collecting. I count reading a habit and writing a means to an end. Otherwise, I suppose, my principal interest is in the preservation of my nest egg.

Have grown a little grayer and five years older since the last Report. Still on the same job as sales manager of the Leather Chemicals Division of Rohm & Haas Company, traveling over the country from Maine to California visiting tanners and finishers of all kinds of leather.
Family-wise: Susan finished her course in nursing at the Uni- versity of Rochester, received her B.S. and R.N., and then on June 20, 1959, was married to Dr. Robert Louis Coda of Kankakee, Illi- nois.

dren, Talbot K., April 23, 1937; Donald William, Jan. 28, 1939; Stephen Z., Jan. 31, 1942; Susan Hamil, June 13, 1944; Elizabeth P., Jan. 28, 1947.
During the past five years, the Weggs have established a home- stead on an island in Puget Sound, accessible only by ferry, and are developing the parochial view of island dwellers which has been falsely branded by off-islanders as eccentric.
Since strawberry farming, the island's only industry, is monopo- lized by our Indian neighbors and moreover is highly unprofitable, economic necessity leads me to commute daily to Seattle, where I am directing the city's urban renewal program with enthusiasm and satisfaction.
The two older boys have left the parental hearth, one for ocean- ography via the U.S. Navy, the other for ski business. Stephen and Susan are in regressive, British-type boarding schools which teach solid subjects, manners, and the de-emphasis of the adolescent. It is good for them and surprisingly they love it. Our youngest, Betsy, emerges from a little girl to a young woman, almost overnight, it seems. We still ski in the winter, garden and swim in the summer, and it is a good life.
