Last fall I wrote that there were about 40 members of our class who were exposed to this column. A few have since left for greener pastures.

With your news hard to come by, I tried bribery with a now-expired offer of a free copy of my Thomas Nast biography. Two of you answered, about a 5-percent return rate.

Bob Rooke lives in Morristown, New Jersey, and frequently passes Nast’s home there. Bob had a very successful career in finance and is our stalwart treasurer emeritus. At 98, he is still enjoying life with Natalie, his wife of 72 years.

Bob Fitch called from his home in El Prado, New Mexico, near Taos. His wife died two years ago, so he is living alone. A chemist, Bob taught at North Dakota State and the University of Connecticut before becoming vice president for research and development at S.C. Johnson. After retiring, he moved to the Taos area for the skiing and didn’t stop until he crashed at 92.

Edmund A. Heller Jr. died on October 18, 2022. His last known address was in Nashville. Ed got his master’s at Tuck and worked for a sporting goods company at the time of our 25th reunion in 1974. He was married, had no children, and, by his own admission, was not in touch with any of his classmates.
