Carl F. Wegener doesn't frighten easily, but at 61- after mastering the intricacies of computers and rapid mail delivery he's faced with "the new math" and how to teach it. "I will certainly have to bone up on this," he said today at the neat, well-appointed cottage he shares with his wife Helen, his former childhood sweetheart, at 1835 Gallier Street.

Photo is dated 1968.
