I've hardly completed the November Thirtyteer and just yesterday finished the September 27 minutes, so I still have last fall's reunion on my mind.
Along with dues payments, Harrison Condon received several notes from classmates who didn't get there. Carll Buhler, whom we expected at the reunion, broke his right wrist (most inconvenient, he says). In addition, a sister is terminally ill, and a daughter has had brain surgery. Our sympathy to Carll and his family.
"Georgio" Geiger says he is gradually removing himself from business, selling his interest in the title companies and terminating his directorship in Sentinel Savings & Loan. In this day of crashing S&Ls, you wonder if there might be a few shares of Sentinel available, as George says, "I am very proud because it is a five-star-rated S&L and is making 17 percent on net worth." He and Louise had a cruise on the Mississippi Queen and were heading to San Miguel Allende for the winter. "No doubt will be seeing Bob Keene 1[will he?] and Jesse Lichter."
John Holmes says, "So sorry to have missed you and Barbara. You know about Ave Raube having the same procedure September 25. He's about to return home in good recovery." Same procedure? Did John also have heart surgery?
George Parkhurst correctly thanks Harrison "for the tremendous leadership job you have done for the College and the class. Sorry I could not be with you in September, but I had my third hip replacement and was grounded." So he's one ahead of Pete Callaway. George's note deserves further comment. In our 62nd year out, it was still dictated to a secretary and typed on his "attorney-at-law" letterhead. Hard-core employed, like Scribner.
Finally, Gene Magenau was there, rotator cuff and all, but not quite back to his old tennis form. Ted is too modest to crow over it, but Gene reports their reunion match ended 7-5, 6-1, though Gene got to set point in the first set. But watch it, Ted, if Gene is playing in California this winter.
