Class Note 1959
Issue
Jan - Feb 2019
A class mini-reunion, orchestrated by Cathy and Al Munro, was held in Hanover on the second weekend of October. Particulars will be recounted on the class website. One of the events of each fall mini-reunion is an annual class meeting that includes, among other agenda items, a discussion of the proposed budget for the forthcoming year. Our class’ revenues consist mostly of receipts from dues, and disbursements consist of communications and other administrative expenses and contributions to the five student-related projects supported by the class as well as a payment to the College under the memorial books program. The size of both revenues and disbursements is in the $20,000-$25,000 range, and the results are generally around break-even.
Two other matters discussed at the recent meeting were the 60th reunion to be held on June 10-13, and the College’s 250th birthday, which officially occurs on December 13 (the charter was granted on that day in 1769). On that day in 2019 it is expected that a number of iconic venues around the globe, including Niagara Falls, the World Trade Center, and the Eiffel Tower, will be illuminated in green light.
You will be hearing frequently about our 60th reunion from co-chairs Chris Cundey and Jim Wooster and about the College’s birthday from the organizers of the various celebrations that will occur throughout 2019.
Even though most of us are now long retired from our working careers, accolades for career achievements continue. Last June Sam Werner was awarded the Clifford Shull Prize for his contributions to neutron science. Sam, a world leader in the field of neutron interferometry, is a professor emeritus of the University of Missouri and currently a guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Recent columns have chronicled marriages among classmates and sisters of classmates, which one of us, perhaps ruing that he came close but didn’t quite make the club, calls “class incest.” The most recent column on the subject listed five such marriages, but omitted the marriage of Dick Bareuther’s sister, Jean, to Bill Zebedee.
