Class Note 1947

Issue

Jul - Aug 2016

The comment in this column about the lack of news brought an answer: one letter!

On page 17 of the March/April alumni magazine there were three small photos depicting activities other than academics. For those interested, the group photo is made up, left to right, of (back row) Dean Worth ’49, Hugh Chapin and Nick Nickelsen; (front row) Jim Schwedland (guitar), Burton Hicock ’45(cap), (possibly) Phil Vierick ’49(harmonica) and Larry Coachman (guitar). The photo was taken at Moosilauke Ravine Lodge in 1946 or 1947.

Fred and Liz Sistare are downsizing and moving from Wilmington, Vermont, to a more compact residence in Brattleboro, Vermont. Joe and Sally Hayes have returned from the Caribbean. Joe assures us that all is in order for our mini-reunion at the Norwich Inn on October 28-30, the weekend of the Harvard football game. Make your room reservations early! There will be an executive committee meeting (that all are welcome to attend) at 9 a.m. Saturday, October 29.

Lansing Reed still hosts the quarterly ’47 luncheons but attendance has been limited to Lansing, Bob Dobson and their wives, plus Joan Harris and Joan McCulloch.

For those interested, my guess for the truncated map sent out with fundraising notes early in the year was a date of 1927. Actually, it was published in 1928, drafted by college architect Jens Fredrick Larsen and may be available through the Evans Map Room of the Baker-Berry Library.

The sympathy of the class is offered to the families of classmates who died recently: James W. Conceison, March 1; Francis R. Connelly, April 5; and William B. Harding, January 13.

Keep in touch.
