When asked “What adventures or experiences are you most looking forward to in the months and years ahead?” John Manaras spoke for many Red Sox fans: “On the immediate horizon it is seeing the Boston Red Sox vs. the N.Y. Yankees in London.” And, as grandpa, he added, “On a more sensible note, it is always anything about the grandsons.” Bill White says, “It’s a cliche but it’s being a grandfather. One 2-year-old grandson now, two more on the way, with more to follow I hope.” Roy Benson, speaking perhaps on behalf of many in our ’67 Florida contingent, is keeping track of the impact of climate change: “I hope, before the sea level rise kills my Amelia Island home’s value, I can sell it and then afford to move to high desert country such as Bend, Oregon.” Jim Rooks, busier now than ever before, says, “I’m going to try to achieve boredom.” Downeast in Maine Sam Ostrow says he “finds seeing first light at 3:45 a.m. these summer mornings adventure enough.”

I gleaned news of some others from Facebook. Marvin Soroos is in Montana enjoying “afternoon hikes on the Mount Jumbo Saddle trail near Missoula” amidst white wildflowers in green fields. Tom Hambury is in Ithaca, New York, raising adorable lambs, among other things, while Bill Sjogren is besotted with son Andrew’s new little boy, Ivar. Bill Yaggy has been seated on his bike riding around New York City, his latest an epic ride to City Island, nine miles and light years from his home.

Becky and Ed Gray recently returned from a spectacular trip on the Basque coast in Spain they put together as part of their organization, GivingJourneys. From their first stop, Barcelona, they trekked from Zumarraga to Zumaia along the coast to Biriatou, then on to San Sebastian and Bilbao. It seems like an exquisite moveable feast savoring four-star local cuisine interrupted by trekking, an adventure they can cross off their bucket list (until the next one). On the marriage front, congratulations go to Curt Anderson, who got lucky and married Suzanne McInerny at their home in Weston, Massachusetts, on June 29; to Steve Jones and Linda, who celebrated their 52nd wedding anniversary on June 17; and to Alison and Sam Stonefield, who logged 48 years on their journey on May 22. The Moosilauke Ravine Lodge and the ’67 Cabin continue to get good use: the late June loungers on the porch being Sharleen and Larry Bowen, Beth Paolino, and Joyce and Paul Killebrew.

You still have time to make your plans to join your classmates at Yankee Stadium on November 9 for the Princeton game. Call the Dartmouth athletics office (603-646-2466) and ask to be seated in the class of 1967 section #111. Be sure to watch your inbox (check your junk mailbox) for latest details.

Finally, it’s on a sad note we report the passing of three classmates: Ernest C. Moore III, Harold W. Knapheide III, and Charles M. Cockerill. Their obituaries will appear later.
