Greetings, fellow ’70s. It’s the dog days of summer and class news has slowed to a crawl. One important item, however, did cross my desk and that is that Bob Whitcomb is stepping down after 21 years as the editorial pages editor at the Providence (Rhode Island) Journal. According to the paper, “He leaves behind a sterling record of service to the newspaper and to southern New England as an advocate for better government, a fan of alternative energy, a strong supporter for economic development and a skeptic of big business.”


Don’t forget Homecoming weekend in Hanover is the weekend of October 12. Hope to see you there.
