I suppose sending out a heads-up for the class mini-reunion this fall this far in advance can’t hurt.

Here goes: The mini-reunion will be during the weekend of October 10-12. A block of rooms has been set aside for the class at the Courtyard by Marriott. The football game on Saturday will be the Ivy League home opener vs. Yale. At the moment it is scheduled for an early afternoon kickoff.

In the absence of a bonfire, Frank Gould has made arrangements for a room Friday night at the Hanover Inn and we expect to have a buffet supper available during the evening. The class meeting as usual will be at the Black Senior Center at 10 on Saturday morning. After the game the class dinner will be at the Marriott catered by Duck Soup Catering.

Other than that, we were pleased to watch the premiere of the documentary The Buddy Way on ESPN2 late in January. It was inspiring and touching. It remains available for viewing on ESPN+.

The southwest Florida crowd gathered for lunch on March 14 at its annual mini-reunion. Attending were Bill Allyn, who arranged a room for us at Royal Poinciana Golf Club; Fran and Greg Haines; Cynthia and Dave Chapin; Vicky and Tryg Myhren; Carolyn and John Otis; Jane Yusen and Dick Norris; Linda and John Trimble; and Sandy Bromwell and Beth Kelley ’96 from Dartmouth. Nick Stevens sent a note to comment on a reference in an earlier newsletter to a poem titled “Yesterdays Ago,” about which we were looking for attribution. He advanced an interesting insight worth follow-up. As usual news of other classmates has been sparse and getting sparser! You could help your beleaguered secretary by correcting that or he may have to resort once again to ChatGPT to create news!

If you’re not getting Coleman Colla’s Coleman’s Mental Meanderings on Substack, you should look it up.

Sadly, we report the following deaths: Tom Mapp, Russ Leslie, M.D., Alan Baker, M.D., David Livingston, Lars Persson.
