We noted last spring that the Royal Wellers were looking for a place to live away from the frozen north. Recently, the Institute sent us a new California address for them, so we wrote to Roy asking him for any news he might have about himself for the Class Notes' we received the following Weller Newsletter: "We are now in the San Francisco Bay area - more specifically at the following address: 2011 California Street, Apt. 5A, Mountain View, Calif. (Phone, YOrkshire 8-1882). This is a somewhat temporary domicile. We hope to buy a house shortly. If anyone writes to the above address without success, try again at: P.O. Box 1146, Mountain View, Calif., or look us up in one of the local phone books. Roy is now director of engineering for the Space Systems Division of Lockheed Missiles and Space Company, Sunnyvale, Calif., having checked in on June 19. Visitors to the Golden State are welcome to share our roof and board, especially if they have contracts for Lockheed. Our vacation was most successful. We covered a lot of miles by flying machine, but unfortunately, never got to the South Pacific. We often wonder why we left California in 1957. And we recommend that you urge everyone not already here to stay away so it won't get overcrowded and we can continue to enjoy it. As this is written Betty has left for El Segundo to preside over the arrival of our second grandchild. The address is: Davis and Gail Catlin, 829 Pepper Street, El Segundo, Calif. By the time this gets mailed the show will probably be over. If you want more details, write us. No promises are offered with respect to further news except that, many years from now when Roy retired, we will try to give some sort of instructions for finding us. In the meantime: Hasta la vista, Aloha, etc. - Roy and Betty Weller."
