1949

49 Al Wagner sent me a note with news about classmates. (This came at a time when the tray of material was almost empty. Thanks, Al. Now, as some of you gather to watch the Big Green, maybe some will be kind enough to drop your secretary a note about a roommate or fraternity brother.

Speaking of football, Jim Zafris, a varsity player in our years, has been a trustee of Berklee College of Music since its beginning and has served as chairman of the trustees for 20 years. During this time, the college has grown and become internationally known. For his outstanding service, the college will honor Jim by establishing a permanent lecture series in his name.

Called Punch Thomas to sign up for the mini-reunion weekend and discovered how traveled he and Doris had been during the

cold and mud season in Vermont. He spent ten days sailing in the Grenadines, returned home, then off again for ten days in Jamaica. After getting laundry from this trip, off again for three weeks driving to the south and back. He was very enthusiastic about Charlestown, and he enjoyed his visit with Jim and BarbaraHuntington at Kiowee Kee. Jim gave them a tour of the lake in his pontoon boat.

Punchy and Doris also had the pleasure of attending Ken Wheeler's 65th birthday party in Harwich (Cape Cod) in August. Ken is another that has the best of two worlds, as he winters in West Palm Beach, Fla.

An update on our newsletter editor SkipUngar: he and Manya have become grandparents again. Dick Hanselman continues to be active in

business. He was recently elected to the board of directors at IMCO Recycling Inc. IMCO is the world's largest recycler of aluminum, zinc dross, and magnesium, important in the growing resource-recovery industry.

Hope to see many of you during the fall.
