Class Note 1963
Some didn’t get all the snow they needed, others got the rain they never expected. Still, mini-reunions in Stowe, Vermont, and two in Florida came off as promised with all of the excitement and good fellowship that a party of spirited ’63s can muster.
At Trapp Family Lodge the weekend of February 29-March 2, Sam and Deamie Cabot, Johannes and Lynn von Trapp, Daryl and Joy Smith with grandson Steven, Dan Muchinsky and Mary Barnes and Joe Shannon got to ski the mountain, despite the lack of snow for cross-country, and enjoy great amenities, food and, from what we hear, were some hot political discussions.
A few weeks later, March 18-20, at Harbour Ridge in south Florida, golf was rained out but Daryl Smith got to play host on Friday and Bob and Beth Bysshe on Saturday to lively parties that included Langdon and Carol Scott, Chuck and Mary Ellen Wessendorf, Art and Sandra Williams, Keel and Penny Jones, Bob and Joyce Humboldt, Peter and Michelle Hollingworth, Debbie and Gil Knight, Norris and Willie Siert, John Leigh, Reg Jones and Bruce Nichols.
To the northeast of the state, April 1-4, bad weather forced the cancelation of an outing on Pete Israelson’s speed boat, but not the company, wine and camaraderie. Early birds Howard Nannen, Bud and Marcie Weinstein,and Mike and Jeanne Prince dined at Black Fly in St. Augustine Friday, and were joined by Roy and Betty Benson, Bill and Carol Hindle, Ed and Charlene Mazer, Ralph Saunders, Bob Silverman and Barbara Berlin, and Hank Smith at dinners on Saturday and Sunday, one of them prepared by Jeanne Prince.
If you want to get in on the fun, there is plenty coming up, starting with Buster Welch’s fishing mini at the Kasba Lake Lodge in the Northwest Territories, Canada, July 22-26, and continuing with Tanglewood on Parade organized by Sam Cabot August 1-2; Major League Baseball in Nationals Park, Washington, D.C., September 12 (Chip Bohlinger); in Yankee Stadium, New York City, September 27 (Paul Binder, Dan Matyola); in AT&T Park, San Francisco, September 30 (Howard and Cheryl Neff); and in Fenway Park, Boston, September 30 (Gordon and Susan Weir). Plus the 75th birthday bash in Santa Fe, New Mexico (Ed Mazer and Petie Subin), and Harvard Homecoming in Hanover October 28-30 featuring dinners, parties, meeting and football (Sam Cabot).
