1928

The annual '28 mini-reunion October 6-8 was a great success, with 48 attending. The foliage was at its peak, the weather was perfect, and we saw an exciting game, although Boston University won in the final moments.

As usual, Herb and Mimi Sensenig invited all those in town Friday evening to their home in Norwich. Thirty-four arrived, with Herb leading the way so they wouldn't miss the turns from the Norwich Inn to Beaver Meadow Road.

Present all or part of the weekend were: George Davis, Art Hassell, Doc Simonds, Howie Bush, Jack Kenerson, Wes Wood, Maurie Makepeace, Doug Pease, Ted Howard, Bill Morton, Curly Prosser, Ham Hankins, Bill Marx, Mac MacEachran, Art Kneerim, Joe Tidd, Herb Sensenig, Os Skinner, Skip Drayton, Ollie Andrus, Harry Bennert, John Stone, Bill Lary, Tim Paige, George Holbrook, Les Mason, and almost an equal number of wives.

Les Mason was accompanied by his son Bryan, who had just received his masters' degree in economics at New York University.

Doc and Mildred Simonds report having moved from Pelham, N.Y., to Heritage Village in Southbury, Conn., swelling the '28 colony there to nine.

Seventeen of the longtime regulars at the fall mini-reunion were away on trips or couldn't attend for other reasons. Craig and Eleanor Haines were in the British Isles for three weeks, Jack and Cornie Herpel were in England, Johnand Peg Phillips were on a trip to China; also missed were the Nixons, Billings, Williams, Bells, Warners, and George Emery.

After 40 years of writing advertisements and editing, Johnny Waters started a new job. He now has to take two buses every day to go to work from Glastonbury to Hartford, Conn., and says he loves it. He is a "senior environmental employee" hired by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For a starter he researched and wrote everything in the June issue of the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection "Citizens Bulletin," which contributes to a fuller appreciation and enjoyment of the Connecticut state parks.

John Nixon has just donated his 100 World War I posters to the College. It will supplement Hammie Hammesfahr's gift last spring which was exhibited at Hopkins Center during our 50th and continuing into the summer. John's gift makes the College's collection the largest in the country.
