Class Note 1952. As we close out the very confusing year of 2025, we hope this finds you all in comfortable surroundings and in as good health as possible.
The birth year of most members of our class is 1930; about 70 percent is the number we have. That means most of us still in the game will be celebrating our 95th birthday this year.
Sometimes it is hard to comprehend how long it has been since our class graduated in 1952. June of this year marks 73 years since our formal graduation and, in Septmber, 77 years since we first descended on the Hanover Plain.
Two of the best times in Hanover are spring and fall, especially the former. This time of year, the leaves seem to explode overnight as the days get longer.
