(F. & J.continued) wish us luck on expanding our swimming program here in Michigan............Rick Skarbo, home to stay from Ohio U, looks better every day. The first two Patton workouts he swam sounded like rusty bolts turning in their sockets............Stan Pantovic, Quebec's most notorious rent-dodger, finally made Hollywood. I just received an official "certificate of proficiency in English" from U. of Cal. that "somebody" graciously filled out for me. According to "Prof. Pantovic, Expert at Large" of the "Harvard Dean's Office" I should be capable of handling Public School work in the near future (3 or 4 yrs.). Anybody got a Canadian Army enlistment blank handy?
