Class Note 1960

Here are a few Covid-19 comments from April.

Steve Gell: “We’re hunkering down like most of our classmates. We don’t seem to be in a hot zone yet but that could come.”

Jack Ford: “Covid-19 is just another reminder that the only thing I can control is myself when I take the time to listen to God in prayer!”

Bill Gundy: “We sold the condo in Vero [Florida] and are buying in a retirement community in Westwood, Massachusetts, to be nearer to our kids.”

Gary Griffin: “Eileen has dementia, and we seldom venture out.”

Dave Hambleton: “Counting our blessings! It’s wonderful to have all this time to catch up.”

John Goyette: “I’ve spent too much time washing hands and singing ‘Happy Birthday.’ ”

Jim Gallagher: “I’m surviving the plague until it passes. We spend part of the time at our lakehouse 30 miles away from Charlotte [North Carolina].”

John Goodman: “I’m ‘enjoying’ Covid isolation by reading, facetiming with our grandchildren, and Zoom conferencing.”

Shel Gisser: “Fortunately, shortly before Ohio’s governor imposed restrictions, I purchased a case of wine.”

Hank Greer: “We spend an hour walking our South Carolina beach every day. I work out three times a day and read a lot.

Howard Frankel: “We’re a Covid hot spot, and New Jersey asked for retired physician volunteers to help out. I filled out the form.”

Lew Goodman: “I’m doing fine with the guidelines based on the virus—looking forward to No. 60 if it comes to pass. I gained a few pounds!”

Dick Goodman: “I’m isolating at home—reading, watching movies, eating, and sleeping.”

Harry Fritz: “I’m socially isolated at home since March. I get wine delivered but am running out of beer.”

Bill Gould: “I have been in isolation since March. We’re doing our part to keep the curve as flat as possible.”

Rick Guilford: “I’m isolated, regulated, punctuated, devastated, rejuvenated, regenerated, grateful.”

Tom Hannan: “We’re sheltering in place like most—working from home, walking the dogs, chipping in the back yard.”

Roger Hanlon: “I’m bunkered in West Hartford [Connecticut]. We have been making gifts to organizations that are helping the sick and the needy.”

Bob Hatch: “Our food manufacturing company is running 24/7, six feet apart and wearing our masks.”

Keep the faith.
