I will be attempting to be your worthy scribe now that good pals Nev Chamberlain and Alex Hoffman have left us, but I have to warn you that I don’t do much online. But write to me if you would like details on obituaries and I will do my best to mail them to you.

New news first. The class had a mini on the Harvard Homecoming Weekend and it started with a bus ride Friday afternoon and dinner at Ravine Lodge at Moosilauke with Brownlea and Bob Kirby, Stephanie and Joe Medlicott, Karen and Dave Taylor, Meredith and Doug Smith, Jacques Harlow and new bride “Rusty” Rodrigues, Marge (Mrs. “Fizz”) Nichols, Jilly and Jack Harned (and a child or two) and your scribe and Victoria Hicks (daughter of roomie and best pal Ort Hicks ’49).

Saturday followed with the usual morning class meeting, the game, and a dinner in Norwich, Vermont, with Sunday homeward bound.

We had hoped that Katherine and George Woodwell and Terri and Bill Carpenter would be joining us, but George took a pass and “Carp” was facing a serious operation that week so Terri sent regrets.

Our recently deceased classmates include Robert Curtis Mckee, Edward Julien Zebrowski, M.D., Edward Andrew Wilde Jr., Leonard Nelson Radlo, Robert Eldon Graham, John Leon Dutton, Leonard Morton Stein, Thomas Myer Green III, and Clifton H. Whiteman III.
