Everett Nordstrom’s wife, Mary Elizabeth, writes that Ev celebrated his 91st birthday on November 18, but that he is under medical care with COPD and is on oxygen 24/7 after multiple bouts with pneumonia. While in the V-12 program he played basketball on the 1943 and 1944 championship teams. He was a graduate of Clark University and served as a teacher and coach at New Hampton School and Nichols Junior College. After working as a professional fundraiser from 1970 to 1997 he retired to Kennebunk, Maine.
Bob Phippen has been on the move. He retired to Quail Hollow in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. On a cruise to the Baltic he met June Finch, with whom he discovered mutual interests. He visited her in San Diego and in June moved to San Diego. In October they visited the Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam; Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico; Durango and Silverton, Colorado; and Las Vegas. Can anyone begin to catch up?
