We have a new classmate! Barbara J. (Bonnie) MacAdam, Hood Museum Jonathan L. Cohen Curator of North American Art, has accepted our invitation to be an adopted classmate. Bonnie has been a strong friend of 1955 for more than 20 years since we began our relationship with the Hood through our dues check-off program. During the past 10 years she advised us in the selection of three major acquisitions to coincide with our reunions. She is currently guiding us in another key acquisition for our 60th. Welcome, Bonnie! 


We had a nice long telephone chat last fall with Carter White. He and Carol have resided in the Berkshires, Massachusetts, for more than 25 years. Earlier, Carter had several positions in the corporate world, including General Motors, AT&T, the design and manufacture of women’s clothing and a consulting business. He has been very active in their community as a trustee of nonprofits plus service on several boards (the Edith Wharton Home, the Gould Farm, Miss Hall’s School). He served for several years as the CEO of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, which grew during his tenure to more than $100 million in assets. Somewhat retired now, he has slowed down only slightly with a strong involvement in local historical societies. 


Tom McGreevey spent a significant part of the fall at the National Archives researching his book on the history of naval aviation between the world wars. He foresees publication in mid to late 2015. During this time he was able to visit with Evelyn and Bob Comer in New Jersey and take in with daughter Alison the football team’s great win at Princeton. 


Sadly we report the passing of James Donohue, John Meyer and Ray Woolson.


Sixtieth reunion June 15-18! Bob Fanger and his committee have put together a strong program: two symposia organized by Leon Martel (“Great Issues Today,” “Health Issues in Later Life”), exhibitions (writing, painting, sculpture, photography), golf, tennis, parties and dinners in great venues, memorial service (Joe Herring, Roy Nyren, Pete Greenfield). Jud Hale is in charge of the weather—a Yankee guarantee that it will be good!
