It is always a pleasure to get a note or phone call out of the blue from one of our classmates. Bob Miller called from La Jolla, California, and we reminisced about several class members, including the late Junius Hoffman.


Jim Towsen, who was back for the last mini after several years of non-attendance, has already made reservations for the next one, adding four to his Texas posse from 2011.


Hardy Caldwell dropped a note from Key Largo, Florida, saying, “Seems like yesterday when we were way back in the Class Notes section, now we are almost on the first page.”


The inimitable Charles “X” Larrabee sent us his annual collection of random literary observations and fascinating trivia, which always sends us to the bookshelves to find out what he is talking about. 


Wemo Epply calls every few weeks to bring us up to date on doings in Hanover and to exchange medical news.


The last time Stan Barr was at his doctor’s office, he commented that he felt that “old age is catching up with me.” His doc replied, “Run a little faster.” If only it were that easy. On a personal note, Stan has decided that this is the winter we will spend in Florida—the warmest fall on record. So we may be in touch with some of you Floridians.


We have been informed of the deaths of two classmates: John Blasdel Shapleigh, M.D., and Richard Theodore Kanter. We extend our condolences to their families.
