Class Note 1952
Issue
November-December 2021
Thinking ahead, September 2022, we will be celebrating our 70th reunion of the class, our 14th such gathering—and possibly “our last hurrah.” We nonagenarians hope to make this a big one and, in this regard, our class president, Frank Logan, has asked Gene Cesari to chair our weekend in Hanover. Gene is an excellent choice, a retired college president, an active and loyal member of our class, and a nearby resident in South Ryegate, Vermont. He and his wife, Judy, might even give us a ride in one of his restored Bugattis! The exact date of the weekend has not been set, but mid-September is a good guess. Details will be forthcoming, and you can be assured, with help from the College, that it will be respectful of our age and the health issues of the moment. We have always had good turnouts for our reunions and we hope this meeting of lifelong friends will continue. As with our last reunion our class “tent” will be the Hanover Inn and all events will be nearby. Pencil it in. We will not be climbing Mount Moosilauke, by the way. In the meantime, things have been relatively quiet on the news front, but we have had an interesting phone visit with Dave Drexler. He and Judy have abandoned Delaware and are now living full time in Florida. We also spoke with Andy Stern, retired professor from Cal and living in Berkeley. Andy advised us his daughter, Alexandra, a professor at the University of Michigan, would be visiting Hanover with her daughter. It happened and we had a very nice meeting. Also, the baseball boys, Logan, Jim Churchill, and Buzz Barton were able to have their annual luncheon gathering in Boston in August. Finally, Larry Sterne, a longtime New Yorker, checked in with some questions about downsizing (sound familiar?) and we had some good reminiscing about the Marine Corps. We regret to report the passing of several classmates, Donald L. Whittaker, Guy Labalme, Peter Boolukos, Larry Newman, Edward T. Blair, Frank Heinemann, Craig Hausman, L. Coleman Dorsey, and Cyril Crowther.
