We enjoyed our 59th informal reunion in June, and were assigned to Middle Fayerweather. Those present were Allan Brown, Hermon H.

A photograph of the group was taken at that section of the Hanover Inn which is now being torn down to make room for the new hotel and underground garage.
Dwight W. Heistand was unfortunate to have had a stroke while on vacation at Kingston, Jamaica, West Indies last May. He was planning to be in Hanover at reunion. We hope that you are in good health now, Dwight.
