This column was submitted back on October 28 as our Homecoming mini-reunion began, owing to DAM’s oddball deadline. Tonight, says mini-guy Frank Gould, more than 50 classmates and guests will meet at Lewiston Depot in Norwich, Vermont, for beer and pizza after the Dartmouth Night bonfire. Tomorrow we convene for the annual class meeting, Dave Bradley brunch, Harvard game and class dinner. The fall colors will have peaked.

John Trimble reports that Bob Eleveld is Lifetime Achievement awardee of the Grand Rapids (Michigan) Bar Association. Bob “sounds terrific” as he rehabs from blood cancer treatments at Ohio State University. John notes that Mel Alperin’s son, Mark ’80, is “in line” to become president of the Class Presidents Association. Friends of Jim Meeker please note his new address: POB 6126, Alameda, CA 94501.

There are two passings to note. Word comes from Bob Bolinger of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, of the July 11 death of Clyde Bomgardner in Mifflintown, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Dickinson College Law in nearby Carlisle, Clyde was district attorney of Juniata County, where he practiced solo many years. Cack Bittner, Ted Harris, Terry Doran and yours truly competed with him in sports in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, area. An NROTC scholarship student, he was buried with military honors. Note too the death August 6 of Hugh Fox, a Hanover High grad who was a member of the New Hampshire bar and specialized in legal publishing.

My heartiest thanks to the 100-plus who responded to The Sound & Fury’s revealing “Class of 1958 Prexit Poll” this fall.
