As your class secretary, I believe it’s obligatory to make it north to Hanover from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, for Homecoming Weekend October 26-28. I can then report back to the class on the current signs and sounds on the campus.

Word has reached me that the town is taking a dim view of our age-old Friday night bonfire ritual. At best, town officials want it subdued. It’s also a must that my son Del and I are at the Saturday afternoon football game with Harvard. If there is any justice at all, the Big Green will scalp the Crimson to end the curse of 14 straight losses.

Another good reason for the odyssey is to arrange a meeting with Angela Stafford, who’s in the office of alumni relations. We want to at least start preliminary plans for our 75th reunion in October 2020. It’s hoped we can get local class president Matt Marshall at the “sit down” and have vice president Harry Hampton with us by conference call. Nonpareil Angela will be advised not to expect a heavy attendance.

Our class’ condolences go out to the family of Dr. W. Arthur Staub, who led a brilliant medical career and passed away last year. Surviving him are his devoted wife, Alla, three children, 12 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
