Penn Frost here, writing for Betty Munson, who is still recovering from her operation. We had again a most successful mini-reunion September 28-29, 2012, with about 40 attendees. Each year we seem to enjoy the mini-reunions more and more. Jim Towsen brought his delightful family again, and plans to bring even more of them from Texas to next year’s mini, the weekend of October 11 and 12. This will also be Homecoming Weekend, with Yale our football opponent. Hence, Hanover will be crowded. We look forward to having our class secretary back with us again, fully recovered from her major surgery. Make your reservations ASAP. The year 2014 will be our final, formal five-year reunion, and I’m told the College will pick up the tab for our rooms in the newly remodeled Hanover Inn.


Sadly, we have been notified of the following classmates’ deaths since our last column: Richard Backus, September 15, 2012; Joseph Damman, August 26, 2012; Richard Guthrie, December 25, 2009; Merle E. Hagen, October 4, 2012; John Bodwell Lesher, October 3, 2012. (I have also heard of the death of Montford Sayce, although haven’t yet received official notice from alumni records.) Send me news at pennfrost@verizon.net.
