Last January Sally and I celebrated the end of 2017, and with good reason. Despite a great 70th reunion, that year also included a broken arm (which required a three-month recovery), a broken back (another three months to recover) and Sally’s open heart surgery (for three more months of recovery). As I write this, we are looking forward to spending a little time in Anguilla, British West Indies.

DAM is published six times a year and the class newsletter, with the Green Card, only twice. And the response to the Green Card is poor at best. So, we’re putting in the names of five or six illustrious classmates and asking them to give an update of past and present experiences. If you need help from close friends or relatives, we welcome their news, too. So, let’s hear from Bill Lynn in Florida; Bob Allen in Philly; Richard Allen in Battle Creek, Michigan; Ben Brewster in Plymouth, Massachusetts; Lee Alexander in Hebron, New Hampshire; and Bob “Bun” Harvey in South Natick, Massachusetts. You can email me at jhayes697@yahoo.com.

I read in the local (and only) Boston paper a great article written by David Shribman ’76. He’s the son of our deceased classmate Dick Shribman. David is the executive editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and in the article he spoke in glowing detail of the city and what it has to offer all in the hopes that Amazon and its 50,000 employees would move there. After reading the article, I might move there, too, were I of a much younger generation.

I regret to report the deaths of George Dwenger of South Burlington, Vermont; Robert Craig of Pittsburgh; Donald Delahanty of Winchester, Massachusetts; Cyril Shea of Center Barnstead, New Hampshire; David Paul of Sugarland, Texas; and Charles Schofield of Keene, New Hampshire.
