1940

Space ran out. Jack Fitzgerald's Easter note was not published before his death in June. Jack wrote, "Newton High has lost another classmate in Bill Daniels. I often think of that crew. I dated a girl, one of their classmates, while at Boston Latin and met them all at their senior prom." We will miss Jack's recollections of Boston and his many friends.

Bill Huffman wrote, "Cleveland has come a long way since 1945 (when I worked there). It's still a great place to live." I'm sure the other 1940 Clevelan-dites agree.

Rett Czerny, who died in July, and I came across mutual friends. However, Rett said in his last note that his friendship with Harry Hoyt goes back a long time. Their parents knew each other before Rett and Harry were born. Rett believes that Carl Czerny, piano teacher of Franz Liszt, was a distinguished ancestor.

Pattie Squire wrote after Bill's death from a long struggle with Parkinson's disease that he, Gordy Wentworth, and Bill Daniels had been close friends at Newton High, Dartmouth, and up to their death during the past year.

Cliff Falkenau wrote about an extended trip to the Middle East and that his navy commander daughter is in Bosnia and will be naval attache in Romania next year. Cliff is still doing consulting as an environmental consultant in Anne Arundel County and the Chesapeake Bay program.

Through a mutual friend and employee of Charlie Power I learned that his widow, Jane, had recently died. Their son, Robert, said, "Dartmouth keeps close track of its graduates—they sent Mom the Alumni Magazine all those years."

Janet and Lew Chipman had a great Elderhostel experience on Jekyll Island, Georgia. Lew particularly: "with science and medicine all these years, I hardly knew there was ever a Shakespeare."

Mick Miller finally decided to leave Avon, Conn. His address is now 53 Old Nugent Farm, Gloucester, MA 01930; (508) 282-1325.

Betty and Turk Turkevich spent a delightful three weeks in Paris last fall and in June Nick and Bill Cleaves joined an Elder hostel Windjammer cruise out of Camden, Maine.
