U.S. Air Force Reserve Captain Helen A. Purcell of 82 Pinkert St., Medford, Mass., attended the recent Aerospace Medical Association (AMA) meeting in Las Vegas, Nev. Captain Purcell was among more than 600 reservists who met with active duty personnel for the tenth reserve forces medical symposium held in conjunction with the annual AMA scientific meeting. The Honorable Barry Goldwater, U.S. Senator from Arizona, delivered the keynote address. Other speakers during the four-day symposium included Lieutenant General Robert A. Patterson, surgeon general of the Air Force, and Major General Homer I. Lewis, Air Force Reserve commander. The meeting provided a discussion of activities, problems and future programs of the reserve medical services and a better understanding of their mobilization commitments. Captain Purcell is assigned as a nurse at L. G. Hanscom Field, Mass. A 1953 graduate of St. Clement's High School, Somerville, Miss., she received her B.S. degree in nursing in 1967 from Boston College.

Mike Ryba - The One-Man Ball Club. Mike Ryba, relief pitcher with the Boston Red Sox, is a complete ball team by himself. He can take over behind the plate, patrol the outfield or fill in the infield. If the front office is short of help, Old Mike can step in and be manager, coach, bus driver, trainer or traveling secretary. There's just nothing to it, explains the Diamond Veteran who has assumed these duties at various times with Dayton, O., Springfield, Mo., Columbus, O., Rochester, N.Y., The St. Louis Cards and now the Sox. Here, Mike, who has been named the most valuable player of four different leagues, holds his catching mitt and pitching glove -- ready for the day's assignment.
