The first of our 80th celebrations was held during the last weekend in October in Boston. In attendance at various times during the weekend were: Dick and Ellen Gorsey, Shelly and Elizabeth Woolf, Peter and Jill Kenyon, Harry and Carol Robinson, Jay and Fleur Chandler, Dick and Judy Steinberg, Jim and Joan Tofias, Dick and Jane Page, Bill Grover, Luke and Ann Case, Don and Barbara Berlin, John Gillespie, Rick and Anne Hartman, Phi Cooke, Dick and Audrey Lewis, Brad and Mimi Bordon, Gary Zwart and Cynthia Sunderland, Bob and Jean Adnopoz, Bob Dean, Tom and Liz Kelsey, Art and Lynn Rauch, Pete and Deborah Geithner and Jon and Katie Moore. The highlight of the weekend was a tailgate party at the penthouse apartment of Dick and Jane Page at the Prudential Center, watching the Dartmouth-Harvard game on TV on a snowy night. Great views of Boston.


Steve and Carol Mullins hosted a gathering of ’54s at their home in Norwich, Vermont, the first weekend in October for a “pseudo tailgate” prior to the Penn football game. In attendance were Bob and Jean Adnopoz, Bob and Jenny Kirkpatrick, Walt and Ellie Anderson, Dana and Anne Low, Harry and Carol Robinson, Judy McLaughlin, Betty Heston and Debbie Nolin.


A post-victory-over-Columbia celebration was hosted by Jay and Martha Davis at Homecoming at their Wilder, Vermont, home. (This year’s executive committee meeting and class homecoming were held in Boston). In attendance were Bob and Jean Adnopoz, Pete and Margie Ankeny, Dick Davidoff, Dana and Anne Low, Dave and Rosemary Mandelbaum and Dave and Louise Ransom.


When this issue of the Alumni Magazine reaches you we will be about to gather in Sarasota, Florida, for the second 80th celebration (February 26-March 1). There will be a large turnout. (As I write this column, about 100.) Still time to join the group (contact Mort Galper at m.galper@att.net). Also note the third 80th celebration at the Sunningdale Country Club in Scarsdale, New York, on May 23. More information to come.
