Issue
Jul - Aug 2019
From Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2016 and Tuscany, Italy, in 2018, the ’63 mini-reunion “train” pulled into St. Augustine, Florida, April 4-6, when Mike and Jeanne Prince and Bob Silverman organized dinner at the Serenata Beach Club, beach walks, gallery and historical tours, kayaking, even a Beatles tribute concert. Classmates, wives, and friends included Roy Benson, Bud and Marci Weinstein, Bill and Carol Hindle, Alan and Shelley Palmer, Alan and Janet March and Ed andCharlene Mazer.
With Ain’t Too Proud, the new show about the Temptations drawing crowds on New York City’s Broadway, Marty Bowne made his own statement April 26 uptown at The Triad, performing the contra alto parts to The Coasters’ 1959 version of “Along Came Jones” in a cabaret that included John Chamberlin, Tim and Joyce Ratner, Petie Subin,and the show’s producer and director, Paul Binder. Bruce and Patty Baggley were in the audience as pianist (and M.D.) Steve Kurland of Framingham, Massachusetts, rounded off the night with his rendition of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue.” Steve (stkurland@aol.com) will host our annual Tanglewood mini, July 22-23.

We are up to 38 classmates and guests expected at Yankee Stadium November 9 to cheer on the Big Green against Princeton. Dave Warr, George Hellick, Joe Shannon, Steve Bank, Barry Linsky, Steve Lister, Roger Parkinson, Armand Villager, and Mike Jarvis have joined the list, according to mini-organizer Chuck Wessendorf.

I caught up with freshman Richardson Hall dormmate and Facebook friend Bill Spencer by phone at his Fox Island beach house on Puget Sound, near Seattle, Washington. It was March, and Bill and Sue were back earlier than usual from their annual winter sojourn in the Mexican Baja Peninsula and looking forward to a possible annual get-together with area classmates Larry Bailey, Sturgess Dorrance, Mike Emerson, Pete Brown, and Rick Wykoff.“The weather was unseasonably cold this year in Baja,” said Bill, whose permanent residence is a 13-acre compound on Fox Island with a beach house (www.foxislandbeachhouse.com), which the Spencers rent out. Bill runs Evergreen Nutritionals, a nutritional supplement company, from his house, selling nutrients wholesale and retail. The Spencers have four children and 11 grandchildren
Jack Huber, investment manager and art collector in Atlanta, recently shot an amazing photo of the steeple of Baker Library through the “pastel hues” of the windows of the historic United Church of Christ at 40 College Street, “gathered” in 1771 by the Rev. Eleazer Wheelock. “The waviness of the glass distorts outside images, creating an aura of modernity,” comments Jack. Write him at huber1050@aol.com.
I regret to report the deaths of Bill Buck, Wheat Allen, Carl Fogelberg, and Pete Slavin.
