Class Note 1948
Issue
July-August 2021
Considering incorrect addresses, we are now down to around 30 reachable, active class members. Class Notes are probably our best means of reaching them and others who scan these notes. After some 10 years on the job, I am no longer reaching out to contact class members for detailed information, which is mostly redundant as we are now doing little traveling. I am very interested in hearing from you guys on any subject you would like to touch on regarding you and your progenies, thoughts on the College, or anything else you would like to cover. Using the below addresses you can send me a message, just dictate an email, or give me a holler on the phone. You don’t have to do any of the high-tech stuff with which your children and grandchildren are so comfortable. I also read letters with enthusiasm.
In November 2019 Joyce and I moved into a retirement community to be near our family, and a week or two later flew down to our winter golfing community in Naples, Florida, where we still are at this writing. With our two shots behind us we should be home shortly. Understandably, the difference between the two communities in handling the Covid are remarkable. While both require masks and spacing, the golfing community is much more aggressive in providing meals with entertainment. During the epidemic they have built courts and established strong programs for pickle ball, bocce, and croquet. Tennis and golf are normal except for allowing single golf carts.
Glen B. Peck Jr. died December 26, 2020. A lifelong resident of Cambridge and Belmont, Massachusetts, he was a graduate in 1944 of Cambridge High and Latin School, where he was president of the class and a member of the hockey team. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II in the Pacific theater. After graduating from Dartmouth he went to the Northeastern Law School, where he received his J.D. After a brief law career he pursued his passion to teach children. He taught elementary school in the Cambridge school system for more than 40 years. Glenn was a tireless teacher, sub master, and president of the Cambridge Teachers Association. He is survived by his wife, Maureen, and their four children. Daughter Carolyn and husband Marco live in Hanover.
