We are moving closer to our annual mini-reunion scheduled for the October 27 weekend celebrating our Ivy League home game with Harvard. We will start off on Thursday, October 25, with a cocktail reception followed by dinner at Pierce’s Inn. Friday all the willing and able from our class will lead the procession up Main Street to the bonfire, followed by dinner at the Hanover Inn. Saturday’s dinner at the Hanover Inn will begin after the game ends. Game starting time 5 p.m. Notices will be sent out with details prior to the reunion.


Just heard from Sam Florman who sent me his latest published book Good Guys, Wiseguys, and Putting Up Buildings. Sam received a sterling review from The Wall Street Journal that commended him upon his ability to view the corruption, danger and violent nature of the building industry with a sense of humor while at the same time appreciating the aesthetics in creating and erecting his various structures.


Just learned of the death of James Brendley on February 7, 2010, from his son Tom. James was president and CEO of the family wholesale distribution business and held directorships and presidencies of various local organizations. 


Richard Paul Dunneran died February 21. He was director of Nally, Dunneran & Lund Insurance and served as a volunteer at many nonprofit organizations.


Frederick Joyce Carpenter died January 16. He was in the U.S. Navy for three years.


John Alexander Ulrich died April 25 at Kendal. He served the class of 1946 for many years on the reunion committee and executive committee and as newsletter editor and special gifts volunteer.


Condolences to their families.
