Class Note 1960
Issue
Belated thanks to Howie Frankel for trekking roughly eight miles on the AT in a Day event with an entourage that included his daughters Alison ’85 and Valerie ’87, several grandchildren and Bill Lum’s wife, Lynn.
Tom Kirby remains happily “stuck” in Garden City, New York, doing a lot of pro bono work for local charitable organizations. He is a member of an historic, private (men only) golf club with a separate golf museum. With a long-standing group of friends he and Germaine completed a two-week Seabourn cruise around the Italian coast in October that included some spectacular nighttime volcanic activity and ended with three frightfully expensive days in Rome.
On the other hand Frank Burnap and Beverly are happily retired from their family restaurant business and continue to live in Thendara, New York, where they moved in 1971. This is Adirondack mountain country with active summer and winter tourist seasons. Frank is still waiting for Eric Sailer to complete the design of a canoe competition from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. Sadly, some physical infirmities will prevent the Burnaps from attending our 50th reunion.
Donna and George Mundt can still be found in Newark Valley, New York, where he completed 40-plus years of local lawyering before retiring. George collects ancient 35mm cameras and lends moral support to his daughter Julie ’87 and her husband, who repair 16mm movie cameras. During the winter months the Mundts live on a comfortable power boat, presently berthed in Stewart, Florida, and explore both state coasts. In the past they have motored from Ithaca through the Erie Canal, down the Hudson River and along the inland waterway to reach warmer climes, but this grew old. Incarcerated in Butterfield Hall for freshman year, George developed a continuing friendship with Bob Brusic, Owen Dow and Paul Suerken among others. A looming hip replacement may prevent George from attending our 50th.
So what brings you and other classmates back to Hanover for our 50th reunion? Friendships are the most important reason. Nostalgia plays an important role as well. So starting from the fall of 1956 do you remember where the bookstore was located and where it is now? Still have your freshman beanie? Does it fit? What is/was a Fletcher Kit? What did John Piane own and who owns it now? What happened in Silsby Hall? When was the bell in Rollins Chapel rung? What kind of gas was sold on Allen Street? Do you remember the metal trays used in College Hall? Where did Nugget Alley lead? What was Wet Down? And, finally, name one waitress who worked at the Indian Bowl.
See you in June!
