1927

I love a parade. I also love Christmas cards, especially when they are fun cards like the one from Steve and Dot Tracy. Theirs was a picture of the family grouped in the snow in front of their old family homestead in Cornish, N.H. The family consisted of Steve, Dot, daughter Ann, four dogs, and one sheep.

We also enjoyed Nat Morey's card, especially the verse on it: "After the gifts have all been given, it's the love that we return to; and this love makes it all worthwhile." Nat shares his love with 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He expected to be in Long Boat Key, Fla., for the month of February where he hoped to see some classmates.

Moving north to Lewiston, Maine, 94 friends and relatives of Gus Buschmann were invited in January to help him through his 80th birthday. However, due to an unplanned and unannounced snowstorm, orily 54 were able to make it. Gus has set aside a case of red wine to be

opened nine years from now, when he begins his ninth decade. He reportedly keeps fit by splitting hardwood for the three wood stoves that keep his 1849 farmhouse warm during the winter.

Between law assignments in New York City, Art Segall wrote that beginning January 1, 1986, he became counsel for his law firm of Hess Segall Guterman Palz Steiner and Horovitz.

Down in Virginia, the latest from VicDuplin is that he and his lovely wife; Laurie, still maintain their herd of Angus cattle, which helps to pay the taxes in April on their Glenacre farm.

We have had several fine letters from Fred Fellingham's daughter, Jane. Late last year, she moved him and some of his furnishings from his home in Englewood, Colo., to a senior citizen home in Denver where his address is: Aspen Siesta, 5353 East Yale Avenue, #20, Denver, CO 80222. Fred's loneliness when living alone has now been pleasantly replaced by new friends, activities, and facilities that his new home provides. He would love to hear from classmates.

Also residing in Denver is Glen Hannaford. His only comment about the city is that it is no longer the quiet town that it used to be. Now it is a football-crazy city where everyone is mad over the Denver Broncos.

John and Eleanor Hough are happy in their full-service retirement home at 350 Ponca, Boulder, Colo. They are both well and keep busy with a wide variety of committee assignments.

Cam and Sarah Clokey are also happy in their retirement facility, "Freedom Village" in Bradenton, Fla. For Cam, the main event of 1985 was becoming a greatgrandfather when his son, Donald, became a grandfather. He wrote that there is always plenty of activity going on, with freedom (no pun intended) to partake or not to partake.

It was good to hear from Walt Bowlby after a long silence. He moved to Palatka, Fla., 20 years ago after retiring from an equal number of years as high school chemistry teacher in Miami. During that time he won the American Chemistry Society award for being the most outstanding chemistry teacher in Florida. He

appeared to be extremely happy to have moved out of Miami and to have escaped the changes there during the recent years, which he described as horrendous.

The class extends it sincerest sympathies to the wife and family of Dr. LowellC. Wormley who died January 18 in Phoenix, Ariz.
