As I write this in late February the country is getting ready for Super Tuesday and numerous classmates are packing their bags to head for Naples, Florida, for what looks to be a memorable mini-reunion in early March.

Organized by Dick and Perk Canton,more than 18 classmates are expected to attend the Naples event, plus almost as many wives, sweethearts and widows—too many to list them here, unfortunately. Also history will be the Santa Barbara, California, April mini, which will just wind down a few weeks before you read this. Details and photos of both of these get-togethers will appear in the newsletter.

Don’t let another mini pass you by. Plan now to get your body to Homecoming this fall, October 28-29. In addition to class fellowship and activities and news of the College, it will be Harvard vs. the Big Green fighting it out on the turf.

And it may seem almost unbelievable, but plans are already being made for our 60th class reunion June 6-12, 2017. That’s just a little more than a year from now! Write that date down and plan to attend. If you have any suggestions or are willing to help, contact Clark or Happy Griffith at clarkgrif@comcast.net.

John Harrison writes that when he was growing up he struggled with a chronic stuttering problem. This led to his involvement in the 1960s and 1970s in the burgeoning personal growth movement. His commitment to figuring out what stuttering was all about inspired him to join the National Stuttering Project. He ended up as its volunteer associate director and editor of the monthly newsletter, Letting Go. John also ran public speaking workshops, eventually presenting them in eight countries around the world. He is author of the 650-page book, Redefining Stuttering: What the Struggle to Speak is Really All About, which has been translated into French, Spanish and Russian.
