He pledged a fraternity, acquired the "Biername" (drinking nickname) of "Toni," and at frothy functions would bang his stein on an oak table in unison with the rest of them. Later, in Cologne, he dazzled the frauleins at the local Pudelnass (Sopping Wet) Tennis Club. Among those who knew him, many were surprised when Konrad Adenauer (class of 1897) grew...
...this is the most!" squealed Toni Ann LeVier, 18, whipping a Lockheed TF-104G Super Starfighter through the supersonic corridor near Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., at twice the speed of sound.

His violin is more to him than a tool for saving symphony orchestras, although in the past seven years he has earned more than $3,000,000 for various symphonies by appearing as mock-serious soloist at benefit concerts. He plays the fiddle every day at home and says it helps him when he is in a morose mood...
Massachusetts' Barbara ("Toni") Welch Gibbons Peabody, 40, got her political schooling from her father, Morris A. Gibbons, who has been a member of Bermuda's colonial parliament for 40 years. Says "Chub" Peabody's cousin, Rosemary de Suze: "Toni is a marvelous cook, she is a marvelous seamstress, a marvelous mother and a marvelous wife. She will tackle anything and do it well." Sniffs a Boston society editor: "Chub would never have made it without her." He met Toni early in 1944, when he was stationed at a submarine base in Bermuda. Toni, a green-eyed blonde...
