A full year has passed since we gathered in Hanover for a memorable 65th reunion.


We will have another opportunity to renew these experiences at our mini-reunion scheduled for the October 27 weekend celebrating our Ivy League home game weekend with Harvard. Thursday, October 25, cocktail reception followed by dinner at Pierce’s Inn. Friday our class will lead the procession up Main Street to the bonfire, followed by dinner at the Hanover Inn. Saturday after the game we will again have dinner at the inn.


John T. Witte writes from his house where he has lived for 53 years in Toledo, Ohio, about kids/grandchildren of ’76, ’82, ’10 and ’13. This matches my father’s record (class of 1910) for his sons ’38, ’44, ’46 and ’49. Also my nephew Ned Wolff ’68. The race may not be over, as Jack says there are a few more to come. Jack is now looking for an able-bodied crew for another season of sailing his Saber 34-foot on Lake Erie.


Received our first death notice in the first person as follows: “I died on April 19, 2011, at 88 years of age and had a full life. Blind for last year and a half. Good support from Kendal in Hanover. Happily married 64 years to Marion.” She, by the way, wrote this message announcing the death of her husband, John H. Copenhaver.


Four more death notices include Walter Raymond Dewees, March 24, reunion committee leadership; James Reynolds Morse, November 11, 2011; James Jones, December 23, 2009; Robert Irving Litwin, D.M.D., oral surgeon, November 28, 2004. Condolences to all families.
