On November 17, 1963, ROBERT JAMES FESSLER waS

College in Pittsburgh where

he Is pursuing a course in

ing anything unusual,

as far as financial remuneration 1s

concerned, in this divorce proceeding, but will

be simply

content to secure the divorce and a monthly sum for the care

of her child. He said that she is not bitter in any way,

but that she has suffered from extreme mental cruelty.

probably better for all concerned.

He understands that LA ROCCA has advised his

adopted

son to remarry as soon as he locates another girl
