As I write this column in late April the long, cold winter is finally loosening its tenacious hold on us. Pockets of snow are still visible in the woods, but nature’s eternal cycle will take care of that quickly. In human nature’s eternal cycle, if it is July, I guarantee we are complaining about the heat. Speaking of cycles, we are sneaking up on mini-reunion time once again. The dates are September 25 and 26. As at the 70th reunion last year, activities will be scheduled at the Hanover Inn, with every effort to make getting around as easy as possible. On Friday the executive committee meeting will be at the Norwich Inn. The Friday night dinner will be at the Hanover Inn from 6 to 8 and will include a short class meeting if needed. On Saturday a full breakfast will be available from 8 to 10:30 a.m. in the same room. Dartmouth plays Sacred Heart that weekend. A broadcast of the game will probably be available at the inn.


Those of you who have tried to contact Penn Frost and not gotten his usual prompt response should be aware that he fell and broke a hip in March. The doctors told him he would be six weeks in rehab, but he is pushing (literally) to free himself in four, and should be back in the swim by the time you are reading this.


We have been notified of the death of Jack West Landon on February 4.
