Class president Penn Frost is the guest columnist this month: “I am very sorry to report that our outstanding secretary Betty Munson is having a tough time recovering from her operation and could not write this DAM Class Note. Also, I just learned that we have lost three classmates, the Hon. Monte G. Basbas, Ralph Bogan and Charles Larrabee. On a happier note, Becky Richardson sent me an article that appeared in the Florida Indian River Press Journal about Ben Jones and his passion for helping others. In addition to his role as the oldest respondent to 9/11 and his ambulance corps work at Shelter Island, New York, when in Florida he volunteers two 10-hour shifts each week at Station 2 for Stuart Fire Rescue. In March Ben received a lifetime achievement award in Washington, D.C., from the James O. Page Charitable Foundation for his efforts in the past three decades. Congratulations, Ben.


“Our mini-reunion will be October 11-12 and our 70th next year is September 19-21. Let’s break all attendance records at both.”
