This is reunion year. Our class's fifth reunion will be held June 20-22, 1969. I suppose if there was any doubt about the recent touches of gray around the temples, the aches and pains after touch football games, and early passes at parties, this reunion will confirm that we are all over the hill. Sandy McGinnes is in charge of all reunion arrangements. Get lots of rest next spring and plan to make it to Hanover in June for our first reunion.
Secretary, Moose Mt., Etna, N. H. 03750
