While our mini-reunion for this past fall had to be canceled because of lack of participation, we can look forward to a new mini for the coming fall. A current class survey showed a preference for the Yale Homecoming game in Hanover October 12, subject to approval at the October 27, 2012, class meeting conference call. A detailed plan for that weekend in a colored newsletter should already have been sent to you. We will have cocktails and dinner at Pierce’s Inn Thursday night, a speaker for Friday morning, cocktails and buffet dinner Friday night at the Hanover Inn followed by a parade led by our class (all those willing and able) to the bonfire, and the Saturday afternoon game followed by dinner at the Hanover Inn with a speaker.

Jack Howard, our class vice president, is chairman of the board of the John DauFoundation that operates the Duk Lost Boys Medical Clinic in a remote village in war-torn South Sudan.
