This submission is sent in as the temperature and humidity approach 100 in Galveston, Texas. Pretty standard operating procedure around these parts. I have been remiss in not connecting with many of our classmates these last several weeks, so the notes are a bit skimpy. Despite my shortcomings, I am constantly reminded of how these Class Notes can produce results.

In the last issue I had written about correspondence I received from Dave Spicer. I was pleased to learn that some folks actually read this stuff. A group of Dartmouth alumni in the Seattle area get together periodically, and they like to make sure they are scooping up any others who may live in the near vicinity. Bill Price ’72 contacted me to see if I had Dave’s contact details. I was able to connect this bunch and now our class will be represented as well.

You should all start thinking about the 50th coming up in less than two years now. The planning committee, led by our fearless leader, Lon Cross,has begun the task of organizing. So make sure you put it in the calendar for 2025. Hope you have been having a great summer.

Vox clamantis in Tejas.
