Class Note 1958
Issue
Sep - Oct 2017
About to shove off in late June for our family’s annual sojourn into the Adirondacks, a reminder from Hanover jogged my memory that this September-October Class Notes column was due. Happily, you guys have kept my inbox for the column and The Sound & Fury newsletter pretty full. In fact, you will have read one or two new S&Fs before you receive this column. So I’ll use this space to talk up two reunions.
Our 60th reunion will be upon us before you know it—on June 11-14, 2018. Do try to make it if you can. Next year’s get-together will be held the week after Commencement, when we will share the post-50th honors with the 55-year-out ’63s. Our own 55th in 2013, masterfully managed by Larry Weltin, was a howling, if rainy, success. John Trimble and the enlarged executive committee have not yet named a 60th chairman. But chances are he will plan most of the events for, in and around Hanover to ease motoring between them.
Also consider the October 6-7 Homecoming Weekend and its customary class of ’58 fall mini-reunion. It has been advanced this year to a warmer weekend when the New England leaves will be at their colorful best. Mini planner Frank Gould will have long since sent out his first invite in July, though there’s still time for a last-minute decision to come to the mini. Frank says we’ll once again share the Lyme Inn with the ’57s for our Saturday night class banquet. The Saturday morning class meeting will be near Dave Bradley’s pre-game brunch and Memorial Stadium, where the Big Green will take on Yale. Friday night we’ll convene again at Lewiston Station in Norwich, Vermont.
Among the most interesting items to arrive in the S&F editor’s inbox, by the way, comes from Walter Vail about Libby Parker’s photography show at Boston’s Robert Klein Gallery called Vanishing in Plain Sight. It reflects on husband John Parker’s descent into Alzheimer’s for several years before his death last December. See the last S&F for details.
