Our 70th reunion is scheduled for September 22-23, subsidized by the College. Activities at the event were a major item for discussion at the class executive committee meeting held at the mini-reunion in Norwich on October 29, 2016.

The mini-reunion on September 29-30, with a dinner arranged by VP Joe Hayes, was a success.

Ev Nordstrom’s widow, Mary Elizabeth, enjoys reading the class news in the alumni magazine. She shares DAM with another widow from ’47 who lives at Huntington Commons in Maine.

Dave Squire remains a trustee emeritus at Brandeis University and is still playing singles tennis. He and his wife enjoy travel and plan a trip to Tahiti in February. They plan to join us in Hanover in September.

Making a rare trip from California, Frank Wurfel expects to join us for the 70th.

Lansing Reed, in addition to arranging the monthly Monday luncheons for ’47s in the Hanover vicinity, cites the advantages of living in a small college town, namely New London, New Hampshire, home of Colby-Sawyer College and only 35 minutes from Hanover. He is joined by John Trethaway and Helen Bridge, Joan Harris and Jayne Leary.

The sympathy of the class is extended to families of classmates who died recently: George Adelman, age 89, of Hingham, Massachusetts, on June 26, 2015; and Robert Snedaker, age 89, in Lady Lake, Florida, on September 15, 2015.

Happy holidays. Keep in touch.
