What a magnificent Homecoming '94! Some 20 '62s plus family joined the parade and the largestever Dartmouth Homecoming. Short, inspirational speeches and bonfire kicked off a weekend of great weather, fine fellowship, good cheer, and Dartmouth athletic success, topped off by the Big Green football win over Yale. The weekend festivities graciously hosted by Kent andJoan Hutchinson included a pre and post Dartmouth Night gathering at the Hopkins Center Faculty Lounge; our traditional early Saturday morning class meeting; pre-game Tuck Drive 'tails, and the victory celebration dinner at Quechee Lake. The class was well represented by President Tom and JudiKomarek, VP Charlie and Mary Vic Giersch, Treasurer Bill and Patti Sadd, Alumni Council Rep Josh and Karen Rich, '62 News Editor Gordy Williamson, and your faithful secretary with wife Pat, joined by perennial reuners John and Jill Shiftman, JohnClark (with son Tom), Gene and SandyGasbaro, Mahlon and Anne Apgar, and Richard and Joan Hannah.

We were thrilled to be joined by Daveand Nancy Pritchard, who traveled from Edgartown, Mass. Dave's documentary-film company Visualized Production Inc. is based on Martha's Vineyard. Dave offered some great ideas and contacts for our "55 in '95" bash in 'Frisco and has joined Hutch's coworkers. Returning after too many years away were Austin and Joan Easton from Waterville Valley, N.H., where Ace operates his realestate development and contracting business. Dr. Alan and Arji Rapoport and daughter Sabrina also returned. When Al is not off on one of his frequent speaking engagements throughout the U.S., he maintains in Greenwich, Conn., The New England Center for Headache. Al and Josh Rich organized '62's Princeton mini-reunion on November 19.

During Homecoming, while searching for '62 news (and libation), I bumped into R.Henry Sarpyjr., who continues his law practice in New Orleans and shares a mutual attorney friend. Hank joined JefferyUrstadt for a special reunion in Hanover. Some moments were also shared with Bill andPenny Obenshain on one of their frequent trips from their Chicago home to their New London country retreat.The Osbenshains recently celebrated with sons Andrew and Gregory '95 the twins' 21st birthday. And speaking of twins, class twins Stuart and Hugh Johnson joined us with wives Penny and Lynn for the Tuck Drive tailgate party. Both Stuart and Hugh, who continue their financial-investment careers in Boston and Albany, respectively, remain confusingly identical, albeit now with silver hues. Last but not least, I was treated to half-time refreshments by John and Nancy Walters at nearby AD.

The Boston Globe recently reported PaulTsongas had been named the Castle Lecturer in Ethics, Politics and Economics at Yale and would deliver a lecture series entitled "Three Challenges to the Next Generation." WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! We really want to hear from you. Get your old roomie to commit to 55 in '95 in 'Frisco!
