The 50-Year History Book Project is well underway and we are most appreciative of all the help we have received so far. One area of interest now is that we would like to include information on our special classmates who went into the services of foreign countries, and there are three of them. Juan Torrella is living in Florida, and we will contact him directly. Sigi Yepez (non-grad; resigned Dec.1954) and Rene De Valerey (deceased 1995) went into the services of Ecuador and Venezuela respectively, and we do not have any written material (bio or obit) on their activities since graduation. Jay DeWitt (13th) made an unsuccessful try to get some info, and we now wish to open our request for assistance to others in the class who have already volunteered to do research, or may have info, access to info, or a wish to pursue this area. Charlie Edson and Bill Manthorpe, if your listening to this, can you help? Pat Taylor (16th Co Rep), had contact with Yepez during his service career many years ago so we know he was active. We have some limited info of fairly recent addresses and a couple of articles from our plebe summer "Plebeian."

To all of our 1955 Classmates, please start thinking about your biography contribution. We want to reflect the history of our class for the past 20 years. If you have some interesting stories, send those along to Hartley Holte, email: hartleyholte@hotmail.com or postal mail: 134 Great Lake Drive. Annapolis, MD 21403.

Please send Hartley your suggestions, stories, and other information that you'd like to see in our 50-year book.
