Class Note 1949
Issue
September-October 2020
Well, coronavirus has drastically changed the way our class lives, particularly those in retirement homes. No visitors, two at a time in an elevator, meals delivered to rooms, etc. Class prez Ray Truncellito had half his belongings moved into his future assisted living residence when the new rules stopped him cold; in late June he is still in his home in Manchester, New Hampshire. My own snowbird wings got clipped after 38 years, so I’m stuck in Sarasota, Florida, until next April.
