Class of 1960

Last fall Rory Mullett and Heather returned from a splendid couple of weeks in the Southwest: Colorado Springs, Creed, and Durango, Colorado, and New Mexico. Undaunted and adventurous, they’ve already signed up for a Linblad expedition around Scotland and Ireland in May. Rory’s balance issues may preclude two or three Zodiac landings but should not prevent trips to the bar.

In August our esteemed hiking leader and Alumni Council representative Roger Hanlon had a hip replacement. This was his comment in the post-op period: “In part the hip replacement was to let me get back to more active hiking. My physical therapist and surgeon called me an ideal candidate despite the 86 years. My physical therapist said something I’m passing on: He said that I may not realize it but by staying in good physical shape, I have given myself the best possible gift. Keep moving and stay well.”

Bob Boye: “Briefly, I spend my idle time hand caning antique chairs (an almost disappearing craft that I picked up many years ago). I don’t charge for my services. Rather, I ask owners to contribute to my favorite charity, Ridge Oak Senior Housing, which I have been involved with for more than 50 years. It provides 306 apartments for low- and moderate-income seniors in a beautiful setting. See its website, ridgeoak.org.”

And from our trusty reunion planner Bob Hager: “Can you believe this year is our 65th reunion? Make plans now to join us for a convivial and informative three- to four-day celebration. Following longtime College tradition for older classes, we will gather in the autumn, rather than June. Events begin at midday Sunday, September 28, with an individually offered option of wrapping up at midday Tuesday or extending until midday Wednesday. Discounted rooms will be made available for Sunday and Monday nights at either the Hanover Inn or the nearby Six South Street Hotel. Watch for details on how to register and hold your place.”

If you want to read Class Notes you should contribute. Of the 429 remaining members of our class, only one sent me news for this issue.
