Class Note 1960
Issue
Jul - Aug 2019
It’s never too early to start planning so save these dates: 2019 Homecoming, October 11-12 (Yale weekend), and our 60th reunion, June 15-18, 2020. And as far as that goes, we have early suggestions for our 85th birthday: Hap Dunning likes London, and Bruce Clark once again lobbies for a cruise out of Florida.
Ken Taber has taken on a second part-time job. He already leads a small congregation with the necessary ministries including Sunday worship and sermon. Now he has agreed to serve as a part-time hospice chaplain. The hospice organization covers six counties in southwest Florida, and Ken’s travel is limited to the three counties north of Tampa. “The work is mostly making house calls for those patients who are homebound, basically 80 percent of the practice. While familiar with dying patients, my challenge is the extensive electronic medical records that are required. I still find time with Connie, my wife, to play golf weekly.”
Warner Bentley would be proud: Marc Austen’s doctor, who is his age, says “90 is the new 60.” And so we go on. It’s very sad though, seeing dear friends depart. He adds, “I paid my dues and elated my parents by teaching art in Harlem. Now I have been retired 23 years and have been able to pursue my real passion: acting. One thousand jobs in front of the cameras, all but 11 silent. But as the young say, I get a rush every time!”
The left coast gang did it again, courtesy of Dick Foley. Just before Christmas they shared a rousing party at the St. Francis Yacht Club during the evening of the lighted boat parade. The two tables were composed of Susie and Dick Levy, Jane and John Wheaton, Denise Cattan and Tom Hanann, Elaine and Lee Horschman, Carolyn Geiger and Hap Dunning, Mary and Peter Farquhar, Ed Berkowitz, and annual intruders Deb and Sid Goldman.Their most recent meeting was on Dick Gale’sSausalito, California,houseboat for a potluck. Deb and I have our home for sale, hoping to move west to share some of that action and be closer to the kids.
