Class of 1958
Class Notes
View All Notes for Class of 1958The fall and early winter following the class’ 65th reunion have been very quiet. However, the swoosh of classmates making life-care decisions continues, with recent additions Marty and Larry Weltin moving from Aiken, South Carolina, to Tuscaloosa, Alabama; Martha and Ward Burian moving within Williamsburg, Virginia; and Joanne and Cack Bittner doing the same in Dallas, Pennsylvania. Pat and Jack Bennett made a similar move in Manchester, Vermont, earlier this year. Others who led the pack have been Mary and Hal Bernsen, who relocated from Virginia Beach, Virginia, toPittsboro, North Carolina, a stone’s throw from Chapel Hill; Ann and Dave Bradley, who stayed with Hanover when Nora and Frank Gould decided to leave their continuing care retirement center and return to Lyme, New Hampshire; Donna and Dan Wilder, who moved cross country from Connecticut to Boulder, Colorado; and Linda and John Trimble, who moved their winter residence just down the street to Naples, Florida, from Bonita Springs, where Dave Sharrock was already in residence. Earlier Gersh Abraham and Skip Coggin had moved with their now deceased wives from suburban Chicago to Evanston, Illinois; Robin and Sam Smith left Florida to be closer to family in South Weymouth, Massachusetts, while retaining their property in the Northern Kingdom; and Lenita and Ray Robbins came home from Switzerland to Hanover. Planning ahead when most of us won’t buy green bananas, the class has voted to hold its 2024 fall mini-reunion during the weekend of October 4-6. In a bid to return to pre-Covid conventions, Hal Bernsen and John Trimble joined 253 others in sending a letter to President Sian Leah Beilock strongly urging her to reinstate in-person alumni meetings and conferences that strengthen alumni’s bonds to the College. A recent letter valued the Class of 1958 Scholarship Fund as of June 30, 2023, at a smidge under $200,000. That fund now supports two scholar pairings: Amanda Adetula ’26 from Lagos, Nigeria; and new this year, Shade Hargis ’27 from Safford, Arizona. The class is looking to grow this fund and additions are always welcome!
