After four months in Florida last winter, BobOffenbach "just can't retire." He is back working, three days a week, at Management Recruiters in Boston. He says "Not much money, but it keeps me out of trouble and keeps my brain active." He was disappointed in not seeing any '34s in Florida, expects to return to the Delray Beach area in December, and suggests that we have a '34 mini-reunion in Florida. (Bob and all other Floridians we're working on this idea, and you'll be reading about it soon).
A new address for John and FranLyle—149 East Side Drive, #131, Concord, NH 03301. John writes, "We're the same old people, both still playing golf (so-called)."
"Apple Ed" Marceau, from South Burlington, Vt., has a hobby that started years ago "to replace," as he says, "my miserable golf game." He's grown more than a thousand apple trees, many of them numbered varieties from the New York State Experimental Station, and "definitely apples of the future." Last year was a semidisaster for him because of a storm that wiped out 38 trees and stripped off half of the apples and damaged half of the trees left—but as he says, "that's farming."
Bob Gallagher, from Rochester, N.Y. sends his best to all, and tells us of a fine local football prospect—6'6", 260 pounds and still growing, and a 95 grade average. (You can be sure that coach John Lyons has been notified.)
Stan Smoyer regrets he is unable to make our mini-reunion, the weekend of the Penn game. Some of his friends persuaded him to go on a local garden club trip, to Russia and the Volga River, at that time.
It is with much sadness that we report the recent deaths of the following classmates: our class treasurer and mini-reunion Chairman Edward Stickney Brown Jr.,George Nason Collins, Edwin W.J.Cowie, William Van Orden French,Frank Richard Schueler Jr., and GeorgeDudley Tibbits.
Because of space problems, their obituaries will not appear in this magazine as soon as we all would like. Our sincerest sympathies to their families.
