Last call for the September 28 and 29 mini-reunion. The Saturday game against Penn will be a day game, with an elaborate and comfortable tailgate at the Hanover Inn. There is still time to make a reservation. The reservation form was at the back of the spring newsletter and is online in the class of 1944 reunion page. 


Many class members work behind the scenes to keep the news circulating as well as organizing reunions. This includes many of our widows, some of whom are on the spot in Hanover or who simply stay in touch with us. I cannot possibly list them all, and do not want to exclude anyone, but for ear-to-the-ground updates, no one tops Needle Allen’s widow, Jean. She writes in, attends many of the minis and keeps up with many other widows. Jack Stephenson’s widow, Ellie, is another key player—making arrangements for the Tuesday luncheons as well as taking care of other details and attending minis. Betty (Karl) Musser and Helena (Russ) Burdge worked hard for several years bringing you this column and acting as organizers for the reunions. We hear regularly from Dave Patterson’s widow Ann, our former class photographer, who is sorely missed. We spoke to Bud Troxell’s widow, Nancy, who recently took on a golf cart and lost: broken bones, but not spirit. We do appreciate all their contributions; we could not do it without you. 


We have one death to report. Dale R. Sisson died at his home in Northport, Michigan, on April 7. Our condolences go out to his wife, Norma, and their family.
