Once again class news is dominated by our upcoming 65th reunion. Registration packages have been distributed and returns are being sent to alumni relations electronically and by U.S. Postal Service. Those with email can look on the reunion webpage in the alumni relations pages to see who has registered in case you’re on the fence. The events schedule that Hal Bernsen and Frank Gould have assembledoffers diverse programs that should please the discerning classmate! Bob Downey and Walter Vail remain confident that we will shatter the 65th reunion giving record and the class challenge is to break through the participation record as well. That will take all classmates and even though the reunion is in September, gifts must be recorded as usual by June 30 to count. In addition to the foregoing, early indications of those who will attend reunion include Doug Fusoni, Mike Simberkoff, Sam Smith, and Larry Weltin. The annual southwest Florida mini-reunion was held in April and the usual suspects turned out. Hosted by Linda and John Trimble at Vi at Bentley Village in Naples, Carolyn and John Otis,Fran and Craig Haines, Vicki and Tryg Myhren, Barbara and Roger Bruttomesso, Dick Norris and Jane Yusen, and Bill Allyn assembled for a fun lunch. Bill Allyn hosted his annual gathering to showcase the Dartmouth hockey program at his Naples home on April 25. Skip Coggin has emailed his regrets that he will miss the 65th because of a special birthday celebration of his daughter. Family trumps class every time! Helga and Larry Hampton continue to travel and write about those in Portugal Resident magazine. The latest was a special trip to Lisbon to celebrate his birthday. Mary and Hal Bernsen recently took time away from reunion organizing for a different reunion of his former flying compatriots in Pensacola, Florida. The E-2 Hawkeye he once flew still flies in highly modified form and its electronic gadgetry is so highly classified that Hal was not able to climb aboard even as a retired admiral who once enjoyed top-secret clearance!
