Denny Goodman writes that “’60s are still out skiing at 81 or 82. Up here in New Hampshire we have Eric Sailer (every day of the year if he could), Jim Adler, Rick Roesch, Bob Hager. Out in Colorado there’s another group: Gerry Huttrer, Joe McHugh, Walt Freedman. They are, of course, all nuts. We have some other fitness nuts—which is not to say that the above names are fitness nuts; more likely they are looking for some beautiful 30-year-old lady skiers they can instruct.”

Joe and Brenda McHugh are still on the green side of the grass and vertical! After an outstanding ski season in Colorado, interrupted by a trip to Hawaii for Brenda’s 80th, they headed to Iceland with daughters and four grandchildren aboard a luxury cruise ship that circumnavigated Iceland while putting into six ports to go hiking on glaciers, volcanos, and occasionally soaking naked in some of the countless thermal pools! As he says: “Definitely beats working!”

Meanwhile Bob and Pat Phillips remain active as a couple in Stamford, Connecticut, and busier than ever with rugby and managing several businesses. They were honored recently with the Stamford Lifetime Achievement Award for their transformative contributions to the community.

John Mitchell’s funeral was at a very full Lutheran church and attended by four ’60s: Jim Burns and wife, Dunc Mathewson and wife, Jim Adler, and Denny Goodman. A really fine luncheon followed at the Rutland (Vermont) Country Club. John had told Carol McQuate, his partner of 30-plus years, that when he died he wanted a large and excellent party in his honor, whatever the cost. He got it.

For the calendar: Homecoming is October 11-13 and our 60th reunion in June 15-18, 2020.

By the time you get this Deb and I will have moved to Palm Springs, Florida.
