plasmas to be six-times hotter than the sun, herded by magnets a few degrees above absolute zero, and so on. I thought I might possibly reach one reader but Wonders of Nuclear Fusion: Creating an Ultimate Energy Source, the press tells me, is 1/3 sold out. Also, because I’m such a nice guy (as everyone knows), my karate school just awarded me my third-degree black belt. In relation to kids, we have two married daughters and one unmarried son who each serendipitously spent a week with Jill and me in July. A second son, playing music in L.A., is too busy to do more than call. But we feel good about his hard work and increasing recognition. Hope all are well.”

Dave Jillson writes, “Two guys riding a chairlift at Smugglers Notch, Vt. They’re strangers, paired up in the lift line. Of course, with helmets and goggles, even best friends are hard to recognize. Talking about skiing (what else?), just shooting the breeze. First guy says he’s from Syracuse and came up for the weekend with a ski club. Says he was at Gore Mountain earlier in the season. Second guy says he used to ski at Gore when he was in college in Schenectady. ‘Did you go to Union College? What class?’ ‘’68.’ ‘I was ’69.’ ‘Really, what’s your name?’ ‘John Ellerton.’ ‘Dave Jillson.’ Long lost fraternity brothers from TDX—life is good.”

There will have been seven race weekends in 2011 at various tracks in Europe. Race # 4 on 11 June was at Le Mans in France on the main race track. We (Ferrari Challenge) were the “opening act” for the 24-hour spectacle [and I do mean spectacle]. For more on Ferrari Challenge visit http:// www.ferrari.com/English/.” Frank Felts writes, “It’s more difficult for Delta Chi’s to meet up now since we no longer have a house at Union. David (Dewey) Miller, Ed Tessler, esq. and judge Geoff Wright met up on the Sunday afternoon of Oct. 16, 2011 in New Jersey for a few hours while Dewey attended his wife’s high school reunion. They had a great time. Dewey is Ed’s Delta Chi Big Brother and still has his pledge paddle in the family room of his lake house. Also, Sandy Williamson and I got together at Union football games this fall to watch his nephews, Justin ’12 and Connor Gallo ’12, play for Union. My wife Barbara will be in London for ten days before Christmas.”
