1933

Jack Manchester, our doughty chairman, reports that plans for our 60th Reunion, June 14—16,1993, are progressing favorably. Our committee is working hard, and an interesting series of events has been scheduled. Besides the program of luncheons, dinners, and college events, four of our classmates have agreed to speak at a symposium and give their views of the world as seen from their unusual perspectives. They are: Gil Beebe, an epidemiologist with the National Institutes of Health who has visited Chernobyl five times and will tell of his studies of the effects of radiation on the human body and the environment; Gil Fernandez, farmer and teacher, whose avocation is the protection of ospreys; Gobin Stair, publisher and painter, who will discuss modern art and show his own production; and the Rev. Bob James, a college chaplain and worker with inner-city youth, who will tell of his efforts to orient disadvantaged students to normal college routine.

Reservation cards have been coming in at a gratifying rate, and in early January 115 individuals, including wives, widows, and classmates, had indicated their plans to be on hand. This presages an excellent turnout, so make your plans to attend and send in your acceptance pronto.

Elsa Osborne, who also wrote to tell us of John Manley's death in October, has been busily running a general store for residents of Harrogate life-care center in Lakewood, N.J. She was planning a trip to Israel in November with a stop-over in Paris to visit her daughter Sue, a translator. Son Ted is an architect in Plainfield.

Al and Kay Jennings were contacted recently at their condominium in Stratford, Conn. Even though they live at Cherokee Lane in Oronoque Village on the banks of the Housatonic, they disclaim any tribal activity. Al retired from DuPont in 1973, and while he is somewhat restricted in mobility, he and Kay did manage to get to Hanover to see the Big Green triumph over Yale last fall. Kay enjoyed shopping at the Co-op and recommends the ash trays.
