1935

September's mini-reunion produced two dozen classmates, wives, and friends, a total of about 40, for a pleasant visit in Hanover. I lack space for details except to report chairman Bill Mathers has a firm grip on plans for the class's 65th Reunion June 911,2000. You will be hearing much about that in the coming weeks.

Since George Colton put the Tear Bag back on its feet I have received 17 Green Cards, not bad considering there are only 201 of us left, including 54 non-graduates, from 691 who matriculated in the fall of 1931. The class lost 13 members in the last 12 months. The most recent was JohnWinston Mayo, on July 20, 1999, which was three days after John's wife, Roberta, died. They lived in Myrde Beach, S.C. John and Roberta had careers on Broadway. She was a Radio City Music Hall Rockette while John, a graduate of Columbia Law School, chose show business for his career. This from Robert Reich '68: "As a son of the great class of '35 I have license to brag about one of your members, my father, Ed Reich, (who) shot an 80 in 18 holes." Ed and Mildred live in a retirement community in Boca Raton, Fla. Edmund Brunner, Santa Barbara, Calif., writes: "To my surprise I'm still alive. In October I move to a retirement home (where) I'm told ancient ladies fervently pursue ancient gents." From Babs Bankart (Reg), Brunswick, Maine: "I'm fine, no aches or pain." Jean Sewall(Charlie) finally made it through the Northwest Passage in August with 116 others from 14 nationalities aboard a former Russian KGB vessel. And from rancher BillEisendrath, Elizabeth, Colo.: "Big problem locally is to rein in the developers and preserve a rural lifestyle."

Please, more Green Cards.
