Class Note 1976
The highlight of reunion planning has been the quasi-daily, often hilarious communication with Cathy Joyce Brennan and Martha Johnson Beattie, reminiscent of our shifts at the Hanover Inn Tavern, where we struggled to appear organized and in control. Speaking of the tavern, two of our favorite entertainers from those days, Parker MacDonell and Guy Van Syckle, will play acoustic sets in our reunion tent you won’t want to miss. Thanks to the efforts of acclaimed Beta playwright Tom Souza and art major/designer/Blue Jays scout Jim Beattie, our tent will be comfy and convo-friendly. As I write, registration is about to go live online. Be sure to sign up! We’re making great strides toward our “All In” goal with the following classmates either serving as volunteers or having said they’re coming: Viola Allen, Byron Anderson, Nick Aponte, Fred Arand, Steve Askey, Michael Aylward, Ben Ayres, Brian Bachelder, David Bandfield, Kipp Barker, M.K.
