I have received a note from Hope and Ted McCrum stating how happy they are to have joined a retirement community in San Rafael, California, where Ted was an internal medicine physician in Marin County. It reminds me that when my wife, Jocelyn, and I came to Kendal at Hanover in 1993 I was concerned about whether it might be too late to renew class fellowships. I had attended alumni club functions in Chicago, but had not met many ’45s. But here in the Upper Valley ’45s such as Cliff Jordan, Nick Sandoe, George Barr and Vick Smith had started monthly class lunches at the Norwich Inn.


In the footsteps of Don Sisson, I became class secretary under president Joe Michael. Under Bob Aldom and Bob Pease I worked as reunion treasurer. Bob Terrill, Fred Berthold and Bud Elder were also part of that reunion team. Now I am working with Harry Hampton, who has done so many things in the past 65 years to keep our class together. He is now, as I write these notes, working with president Ted Safford and Dick Hinman on our upcoming 65th reunion to once again gather us all back on the Hanover Plain.


The class is very much indebted to these men and I am most fortunate to have remade their friendships. Try something like it yourselves! And I haven’t even mentioned the College athletic programs and activities at the Hop. Hanover is an exciting community.
