We recently received a note from Dr. Gordon Kay letting us know that he and his wife, Nancy, were making a move from their longtime (49 years) home in Fairfax, Virginia, to a retirement community. Their new home is also in Fairfax, which minimizes the culture shock, but it is still a major change in lifestyle and relationships and we wish them well. In recent years we have reported many others making similar change and, in virtually every case and for whatever reason, it has worked out well. Locally, here in Hanover, we have numerous examples and we also know of several as close as Boston and as far away as California. Sometimes, as in the case of the Kays, it is a move as a couple, but often the move takes place after the loss of a spouse or partner, as many of you are well aware. If you have had the experience of moving to a retirement community, we would like to hear from you and any advice you might offer. Elsewhere, Henry Williams of Scottsville, New York, reports his family continues to grow and prosper. This past year he welcomed his first great-grandchild, Abigail, and his 17th grandchild, Jasper. Congratulations! Henry is still boating, but makes no mention of the practice of law in the Rochester area. We also received a nice message from Dr. Paul Black, writing from Worcester, Massachusetts. He and his wife, Sandra, moved there several years ago after retiring from his longtime medical practice in Boston. Paul says they are doing fine. We assume you saw the promotional photo of Dave Drexler and his wife, Judy in the last issue of the alumni magazine. They’re looking well, too. We are sorry to report the passing of several more friends in our class: Charles Clough and John Barto, both of Concord, New Hampshire; Brewster Sturtevant of Longmeadow, Massachusetts; Buck (Zuckerman) Henry of Los Angeles; George Davis of Stamford, Connecticut; John Suter of Pasadena, California; Joseph Lyon of St. Charles, Illinois; and Richard Little of Morgantown, West Virginia.
