We have lost two more of our 1940 alumni: Malcolm Cross on June 17, 2010, and Bill Pellington on October 22, 2010. 


All of the recent news that I have received about classmates has appeared in my December/January newsletter, but I thought that it would be of interest to our class and adjacent ones to see a list of those ’40s who are still around.
