Now back to 1975, and looking forward to that gathering in Hanover June 6 through June 8 — we will be the youngest class with an official reunion that weekend, the four others being '05, '10, '15 and '20. Reflect on that if you feel old at approaching your Fiftieth.
A couple of months ago we mentioned Jim Martin's activity in the field of solar energy. He is co-author of a booklet recently put out by the Arizona State Fuel and Energy office on Arizona and Tomorrow's Solar Powerplants.
Jamer Guernsey reports that as a result of inflation and the energy crisis his 1974 trip around the world just doubled the cost of the previous one.
Roger Johnson, with children and grandchildren living in the South, continues to reside in Richmond but does get to Boscawen in New Hamsphire for part of each summer and plans to include the Fiftieth this year.
Bob and Baba Cubbins left Tequesta, Fla., last year for the first time in two years for a trip back north and survived it all right despite their shock at the general ignoring of the 55 mile an hour limit.
George and Hazel Scott completed last fall the renovations they were undertaking to make a new home of a cottage in Laconia, N.H.
Lionel Mosher was invited back to Kimball Union Academy for part-time instruction last fall and this spring, planning to spend the winter months in the South.
Ralph and Ruth Tucker left Tryon. N.C., again this past year for another Alumni Flights Abroad trip to various odd parts of the world.
Les Frenkel also did some traveling, visiting Italy and London this past fall.
Jack Livermore's home is in Easton, Md., which seems south to some of us, but he and his wife go even further south for the cool six months, in search of sunshine.
Eddie and Susie Roessler missed our fall Hanover gathering due to the marriage of a grandneice but made it to New Hampshire later for a Dartmouth Horizons session.
Bob Sweetser of Berlin, N.J., is still active with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is planning on Hanover for June 6th.
Chan Walker of Chevy Chase, Md., had a visit to the hospital last fall but came out "all patched up and O.K."
Ken McDonough and his wife were planning for this past winter in either Texas or New Mexico after a visit to England in the fall to see one of their sons and his family.
