Class Notes
Class president George Hartmann and John Stearns invite us all to attend a catered lunch at the Tom Dent Cabin, next to the Canoe Club, on Saturday, October 24 (Columbia game). Consider it a mini-mini-reunion.
A personal highlight of our 65th reunion was a visit to the Native American Center with Joel Berson, John Stearns and Ray Truncellito.
Our 65th reunion was a wonderful time for the 33 classmates, 16 wives, two widows and 13 partners, children and helpers who attended. It was dedicated to Punchy Thomas for all he did to make our past reunions happen.
Gene Miller, with his health (no pills or walkers) and memory intact, found an old reminiscence of the 49 ’49ers (including me) who entered in March 1945.
By the time you read this our 65th reunion will be coming up within a month. More than 30 classmates and two dozen or so wives, widows and significant others are expected (as of mid-June), according to John Stearns.
Looking back at our class’s formative 1945 year, we were 389 freshmen: 49 entered in March, 221 in July and 119 in November. The average age of the first two groups was 17 years and 9 months.
