It is that time of year when presidential campaigns move through New Hampshire. Tom Rath of Concord, New Hampshire, has watched the candidates for years. Tom is quoted in The Wall Street Journal, “When you see people start to bring their kids…this guy has a chance to be president.” Tom is a noted state and national political analyst. Nancy Smoyer of Fairbanks, Alaska, received the Alaska Governor’s Veterans Advocacy Award for work done with Vietnam veterans through the years, to include working as a vet center counselor, volunteering at the Wall memorial, and organizing the stand down for veterans in Fairbanks. Time to make your reservations for the 45th reunion, which will be October 11-14. Highlights are listed on the class webpage as well as other class news links.
