Jim O’Neill did an outstanding job once again as head class agent. He and his army of workers throughout the country are to be congratulated for a job well done. As you may know, our class fell short of our dollar objective despite their efforts, something that each of us should do our best to remedy in this reunion year.
President Frank Ettari reports that the class was well represented at the annual Class Officers weekend in May. In addition to Frank and Pat, Jack and Jeanne Whitman, Don and Margaret Furber, Jim and Pat O’Neill, Doug and Nancy Leigh, Reg and Nancy Pierce, Stan Feldberg, and Dave Weld were in attendance. The Kimballs, as always, were hosts to the group for cocktails. Frank ran into Jud Hannigan who was in town to see his son Tim play ball against Cornell.
