Greetings! James Taylor said, “I’m going to Carolina in my mind,” but the Josselyns are taking it a step further. After a year and a half of enjoying the Midwest on the shores of Morse Reservoir just north of Indianapolis, Indiana, we’re heading back to the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, North Carolina, area. I’ve taken a job with a general insurance agency in Melbourne, Florida, working remotely from Raleigh, where I’ll maintain an office. Where we’ll land exactly we’re not sure, but we know it will be close to all three of our daughters and granddaughter; No. 1 who should be here by the time you’re reading this and grandchild No. 2 who should be arriving next spring. We’re looking forward to being back in the Triangle, although we enjoyed the time in Indiana.


News from classmates has been thin (understatement), but I’m sure there’s plenty available on a more current basis via the class of ’76 Facebook page. You can also start thinking about our next reunion, which will be grouped with the classes of ’77 and ’78 in 2017, so if that gives you more incentive to return to Hanover, start making your contacts now as it will be here before we know it. I know I look forward to being able to spend time with friends from classes behind us and I know the College is hoping that others will feel that way, too.


The College has notified me that we have lost two more classmates in Geoff Bolton and Robert Fisher. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families and loved ones. Obituaries will be available on the DAM website.


Once we settle in North Carolina I’ll have more concrete contact information, but for now, should anyone feel the urge to share information about themself or classmates, please use my email address. Please don’t hesitate to send news. 


Enjoy the fall and cherish the time spent with family.
