Class Note 1949
Issue
July-August 2023
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the class of ’49.
But after 14 years, mine eyes no longer shine.
Macular degeneration has caused my vision to decline.
As our three dozen or so survivors go marching on.
The class of 1949 was a bastardized class, with many members having their key life experiences overseas before they ever came to Hanover and others graduating before their military lives kicked in. In my case, the 3/2 program at Tuck bypassed the chance to meet many of you as undergrads, though I later got to know some well at reunions or write their obituaries later on.
It has been a real pleasure for me to have served as secretary and to have interacted with many of you but the time has come for me to sign off. Good luck to all.
