Perhaps some of you remember that we were not able to have our mini-reunion at the Hanover Inn due to pending renovations. Well, they are really renovating the whole inn but the good news is that our weather station on the corner of the inn will be protected due to the efforts of Harry Hampton. We have been assured that everything connected to the weather station will be carefully handled and will be back in running order when the renovations are completed. The trust, with a balance of $10,000-plus, that had been set up by the class to maintain the weather post will be transferred to the College with the understanding that it will take over the maintenance henceforth.


Word of the passing of Frederick Hollister Campbell on December 27, 2011, has reached my desk. His careers included U.S. Marine Corps for 25 years; Colorado Springs, Colorado, attorney for 24 years; adjunct professor of American history and pre-law at Colorado College and University of Colorado in Colorado Springs for 13 years. Fred received many awards for his leadership, and as a sergeant received a Navy Commendation Medal with “V” for valor for saving the lives of 250 fellow Marines at the battle of Iwo Jima.
