1927

11 Rolling Lane Wayland, MA 01778

The lines which follow have been prepared by your new assistant class secretary, Dow Mills. The reason for the assignment, which he hopes will be temporary, is that Charlie Paddock suffered another minor stroke in early July. After a short hospitalization, he is recovering well and, as a matter of fact, when this is being written in early August, he and Ruth are taking a week off to rest at their summer cottage on the shore of Bustins Island, Maine.

The 60th reunion of our class is now history and was reported by Tom Gillespie in his July Speakeasy as well as by Charlie here in the summer issue. One item not mentioned, however, was that after the reunion the Anglems, Burys, Jacobs, McCalls,Millses, Osborns, and Tobeys plus DocMilliken spent several days at the Spalding Inn in Whitefield, N.H. Doc Milliken had attended the reunion without Eleanor who stayed home, recovering from a heart attack.

Al Lawrence writes from Key West to thank the 60th reunion committee for their efforts and success achieved with 95 present. Bill Ward lives at Winter Haven, Fla., is active and healthy, and is married 57 years. He is unhappy with the current administration of the College.

Dud Bonsai, our federal judge in New York City, was an alumni panelist at the centennial of the Horace Mann School there in April. This item courtesy of Os Skinner '28, whose brother Bill was a '27 classmate for two years. Bill transferred to Lafayette, got his M.D. at University of Pennsylvania, practiced in Easton, Pa., and died in 1959. Dud and Lucia spent an evening with the Krogstads on their visit to New York City around Christmas last year.

Ed Mahoney enjoys barbershop singing and sings in his church choir. He claims 21 grandchildren.

From the Cape, Don Megathlin responded to his birthday card regretting a conflict that prevented him from making the 60th reunion. Bill MacKay gave poor health as the reason for missing the reunion. He has lived in the Kenmore, N.Y., area since 1927.

Lee Gore plays some golf and swims to keep fit. Dottie was unable to come to Hanover with him in June due to poor health.

Jack Thees lives in Pompano Beach, Fla. He makes an annual trip to visit his sons in Louisiana and Texas. Jonathon Rintels enjoys the quite life on Martha's Vineyard. Brugie Brugierre acknowledged his birthday card from Reston, Va.

Marshall Cleaves has had cardiovascular problems but says he is still hanging in therein Concord, Mass. Elmer Zimmerman tells us of a move to Gaitherburg, Md., from Winter Park, Fla.

We are sorry to report the deaths of Granville E. Libby on July 2, of Harry A. Wallace on July 7, and Dr. John H. Wolf on March 28. Dr. Wolf became an adopted member of 1927 in December 1969.

Since this is the first issue in which the editor has reduced our class notes allotment by almost 40 percent, please excuse us if we have unduly clipped some of your cards and letters.
