Unfortunately I held up completion of this month's column in order to give you a first-hand report on the activities in New Haven. To say that the result of the game was unbelievable would be an understatement, considering the fine performance of the team throughout the fall. The poor pregame weather also conspired against me, and it was difficult to find and identify the members of the class who must had been there, although I did see Al Belinkie and BobKimball briefly.
In conclusion, I would like to urge each of you to get a check to Don Furber for your class dues. We hope to get all of our class on a dues-paying basis as we head for our 25th in 1971. In this connection, we hope that many of you will also want to add something to the check by way of a contribution to the memorial book fund. This is a substantial obligation which the class must meet in the years ahead and your help will be greatly appreciated.
