ELEANOR BOYSEN MORGAN wrote a most welcome letter from
Ghana, Africa, where she is serving with the Peace Corps.
She is teaching English in Accra. Although Ghana is a
Communist country, Eleanor says that the people all want
to emigrate to the U. S. not Russia. Her mail is
delivered very irregularly and I'm sure she'd like to
hear from some of her 43-1 class mates. Write her c/o
Peace Corps, Ghana, State Dept., Washington, D. C. 20520
or Box 5796, Accra, Ghana, Africa. One of her two sons,
Ken, has almost finished two years in Liberia with the
Peace Corps. Eleanor plans a vacation in Europe, then
back to Ghana..
MARION DE GREGORIO and Felix enjoyed their much needed "r

contemplating a vacation either at the Jersey shore or
out at Montauk, L. I. Hope they will find time visit in

off again to spend four weeks with her step-daughter in
the Florida keys. From there she proceeded to Fort Meyers
for a week with friends. Later she will go to her cottage
on the beach in Delaware. She plans to see some of 43-1
classmates at the mini reunion in Kitty Hawk.
GERI NYMAN was at home just long enough to answer my
appeal for news. The following day she and Van were off
for two months in Portugal where their foster son, Cliff,
is an attache for our Ambassador to that country. Upon
return, they will take their motor home up to take Coeur
d'Alene, Idaho, where they enjoy wind surfing.
MARY LOU ?EALE enjoyed a few weeks in Maui, Hawaii. They
feel they never should have left the islands and are
seriously thinking of moving back out there to stay. Mary
Lou is very involved with setting up the first national
convention for P-38 pilots in North Hollywood, CA, and
was delighted with the response of so many "Lightning"
jocks. She also plans to attend the Ninety-Nines
Sectional meeting in San Diego and the P-47 pilots get-
together the following week.

Chaplain for American Legion Post 107, she does not plan
to run for that position again. She attended a WASP board
meeting in Carefree, AZ. and enjoyed mingling with some
