I haven’t had much news from the brothers or sisters of 1940 lately, but Seymour Wheelock in Taos, New Mexico, John Peacock in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Jim Schaye in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, all report that they are hanging in there. Jim is recovering nicely from back surgery. 


There are just four of us ’40s in the Dartmouth area at this point. Ned Jacoby and Bea in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, Bob Skinner in Mt. Sunapee, New Hampshire, Bill Halsey in Thetford, Vermont, and yours truly in Hanover, where I have lived for 48 years.
