Class of 1958
Class Notes
View All Notes for Class of 1958The class of 1958 attempted a full class meeting by Zoom on May 1. It was an attempt to include everybody, particularly those who find themselves more or less housebound and therefore unable to join in typical class meetings. The plan included normal updates on class affairs and an opportunity for every attendee to share with the class what’s going on in their lives. Hal Bernsen hosted, and Frank Gould, Mike Simberkoff,and John Trimble chimed in. Two weeks prior a small reunion of fraternity brothers took place at Bentley Village, a continuing care retirement community in Naples, Florida. Organized by Craig Haines, it included resident Dave Sharrock and Paul Robinson, all members of Phi Tau. John Trimble, as a proud Sigma Alpha Epsilon, tagged along since he happens to live at Bentley as well. Not surprisingly a fair amount of the chatter was about things that ail us! Around this same time Mary and Hal Bernsen continued their wanderlust with a trip to visit Hal’s high school classmate at his villa and vineyard on the north end of Normandy, followed by a Mediterranean cruise. No grass grows there! Classmates who have died since the last column are Walter Stackler and Stephen Toth.
—John Trimble, 99 Mooncussets Lane, Chatham, MA 02633; jtrim99@comcast.net
