1928

As a class we aren't really old, you know. Most of us aren't even 90 yet. There were a number who observed, perhaps even celebrated, their 89th birthdays this year, including our president, EdFlanders, and your frustrated secretary. In spite of which, nobody seems to be doing anything to speak of (to speak of to me, at any rate). Well not quite nobody, of course. There are a few exceptions.

Jerry and Rachel Sass take off for anywhere at the drop of a hat and are gone before it hits the floor. Recently they visited Washington to see an elderly relative of Rachel's at a retirement home and entertained Paula and me at dinner in their hotel. Then there are the Dwinells, who detoured through Europe on their way back from Florida to Hanover last winter, as reported in the March notes. This doesn't cap Bob Reid's trip from the reunion to Palm Springs via Europe and a canoe trip in Wisconsin, as reported in the spring Campaigner. When prodded, GeorgeDavis admits that he occasionally sneaks a ride on his motorcycle (evidently he's not suppose to). His back is much less troublesome now. Bill Ballard, of course, is the most actively productive member by a country mile, as mentioned in the October issue.

For goodness (and my) sakes, classmates, do something and then tell me about it if it isn't too disgraceful.

I regret to report the deaths of Red Moore on June 30, Wally Pollard on July 23, and Hank Hawkins on August 10.
