Ed Leede couldn’t make Jay Urstadt’s telephone mini-reunion in June, but did send an informative e-mail reporting that he and Margaret Anne are enjoying life in the Denver area, as well as their 23-member annual family reunions at various resorts. Ed still “shoots his age” occasionally on the golf course.


Bert Rodman and Sue are doing okay in a retirement community in Dedham, Massachusetts. As probably the best tennis player in our class and a good golfer, Bert has had to swap his racquet and clubs for a cane. He stays in touch with Gene Kelly on a regular basis.


Slade Gorton just had his A Half Century in Politics biography published by the Washington State Heritage Center. With three terms as a U.S. Senator, significant service on the 9/11 Commission and last year’s assignment on his state redistricting commission, there was plenty to write about. Slade is still actively consulting. He and Sally are looking forward to a Dartmouth Civil War cruise on the Mississippi River.


Paul Woodberry called with the sad news that his wife, Sandy, passed away. They have always been faithful attendees at our reunions, and Paul has our deepest sympathy.


Two deaths from 2010 to report: Walker Forrester Williams died on June 10, 2010, in his hometown of Maupin, Oregon. “Frosty” spent his career in the commercial real estate business in Oregon. Richard Morgan Hoar died on December 1, 2010. Dick, who lived in Williamstown, Massachusetts, was a professor with an international reputation in toxicology research. 


Alexander McKaig Taft died on March 29 in Peterborough, New Hampshire, where he lived. “Zandy” was heavily involved in state and local politics and civic organizations. He leaves his wife, Eileen, and three children, to whom the class sends its condolences.


Richard Malloy died on April 28 near his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Dick practiced law for 30 years in Miami and then taught law students in Miami until the year before his death. The class extends its sympathy to his wife and daughter, both named Nancy.
