The College schedules and supports major class reunions in Hanover, with each class reuning once every five years. The next major reunion for ’59s—our 60th—will be June 10-13, 2019. About a year ago Chris Cundey and Jim Wooster were named co-chairs for that reunion. Although Chris and Jim have begun their planning, such details as venues, events and costs won’t be finalized until the College’s staff for supporting major reunions has finished its work with the 2018 reunions. So details about our 60th, beyond the place (Hanover) and dates, probably will not begin to emerge until this autumn.

During the periods between major reunions, our class has customarily held two mini-reunions per year—one in the Hanover area and another at a non-Hanover location. The 2018 mini-reunion in the Hanover area will be held on September 28-30, in connection with a Penn football game, and will be planned and coordinated by Cathy and Al Munro. There will not be one single mini-reunion at a non-Hanover location this year. Instead, it is anticipated that dinners, receptions and other events will be held at various times around the country and beyond in locations where there are concentrations of ’59s. Diane and Scott Palmer will be coordinating these events and would appreciate ideas and, particularly, on-site assistance.

A couple of years ago this column described Jerry Scott’s quest to visit countries numbering more than his age. As this is being written, Jerry and his fiancée, Charlotte Campitelli, are embarked on a world cruise. Jerry says that although his lifetime country total will be more than 100 when the cruise is completed, he is no longer focused on that metric. Instead, he will aim to become a bridge “Sapphire Life Master,” which will require another six or so years of playing that game at his current pace and ability. If he reaches that goal, it would probably be about the time of our 65th reunion, currently scheduled to be held in Hanover in early autumn of 2024.
