The College announced that the class of 1954 ranked No. 5 in the “class gift” category. Our $3,000 tied us with 1952 and both of us were edged out for No. 4 by 1950 with a $3,065 gift. Our 2017 sponsored athlete, Riley Ricciardi ’21, was one of the senior leaders on arguably the best lacrosse defense in New Jersey. The Maroons allowed 10 or more goals just twice all year, while keeping teams to four goals or less 11 times. Ricciardi was also a big part of the transition game, using her blazing speed to form a one-player fastbreak. The trial of Sen. Bob Menendez will be heard before District Judge William H. Walls. Last month I short-changed Steve Mullins. Besides the gold medal world champion in the 800-meter freestyle, 85-to-89 age group, he also took two silvers in the open water 400-meter freestyle and 3,000-meter freestyle. Our mini-reunion team, led by Herb Hillman with Sarah Gilson and Betty Heston, pulled off another outstanding Hanover mini-reunion topped by an incredible Dartmouth football win over Holy Cross, 27 to 26 in overtime! In case you missed this event, here are a few highlights: 45 classmates, wives and friends made it back to Hanover. In addition to the executive committee meeting on Friday, they assembled for a dinner at Jesse’s Restaurant with a talk by professor Aine Donovan on medical ethics. Saturday they heard from professor Ross Virginia and the “last global frontier.” The weekend ended with a final reception before the wining game against Holy Cross. Shelly Woolf is recovering from knee surgery. A little short on information this issue. Please let me know what’s happening in your life. We are saddened by the passing of classmates Arnold Linsky, William McKee Jr.
