Class Note 1946

Jack Howard,our class vice president, has been doing a magnificent job of putting together the many details for our mini-reunion on the Yale Homecoming weekend October 12-13. This will include cocktails and dinner at Pierce’s Inn October 10, speakers, a group tour (possibly to the new art center), buffet dinner at the Hanover Inn October 11 followed by leading the parade up Main Street to the bonfire. The class meeting is the morning of Saturday, October 12, followed by a 3 p.m. game. Milt Cooper has suggested a pregame gathering of classmates in the stadium area. So far 25 have expressed interest in attending the mini, but let’s make it more. Requests for commitments will be sent out so costs can be finalized.


Doug Leigh,creator and designer of our class logo “Friendly: The Dragon,” continues creating, designing and producing just as he did at Dartmouth, where he designed the 1947 Winter Carnival poster and was active in numerous visual art activities. Currently his paintings are on exhibit in local Connecticut art shows. His website is www.dougleighstudio.com. Doug writes that Bob and Rosemary Jones in Bethesda, Maryland, have moved into an assisted living facility and that Bob and Stefanie Stevenson have recently moved into a new and larger home in Santa Barbara, California.


Frank Guarini, who completed six terms as a congressman from New Jersey, is looking forward to our upcoming mini.


Anne Neilson sadly reports the death of our beloved previous class president Walter Snickenberger onApril 17. Walt was active in class affairs for many years. He was baseball captain. Anne also reports that Harvey White just built a house opposite hers at the Bay Club in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts.


Condolences to ’46 families on the reported deaths of Joseph Isaac Masters, Robert Arthur Lytle, Bradford Hobbs Morrison and Mayland Prince Lewis.
