1932

The news that we have has become timeworn due to the summer hiatus. Bob and Helen Reinhardt, before leaving Florida for their home in Short Hills, N.J., planned to dine with Al Zinggeler and his friend Jean Rose. Bob says he and Al both forget things, which puts them in the company of almost 100 others of the class. Bob didn't forget to tell us that he made his first hole in one this past winter, and we congratulate him. [Ed. Note: We're jealous—we've never had one. We can't reach the par-3s-in-1 anymore.] But some day, Bob, we will tell you about our two eagles. Don Allen is in double trouble. In the February newsletter he read that a man in our class named Bob Allen claimed that Indians were threatening to take his land. Don writes, "Who is this guy Bob Allen? My land in Seneca Falls is under threat of begin given to the Cayugas because the Indian Treaties of 1795 and 1807 were never ratified by Congress." I called Don to get the latest and learned that there would be a court hearing in September when a settlement must be made. Interestingly, another tribe is doing the same thing in the Syracuse area. I told Don not .to worry about Bob Allen he was an imposter who sneaks into other people's computers and mixes up. We talked with Jim Whiton, who had completed his radiation and chemo treatments for his malignant lymphoma. Jim also has macular degeneration, and with all that, seems in good spirits. We talked and agreed that ZPG [Zero Population Growth] was a very worth charity that needs help to slow down the world's population which is heading for 50 billion by 2050. He enjoys talking; (941) 629-1328. Class president Ed Marks watches the refugee situation in Kosovo with keen interest. In the 1940s, post- WWII he became chief of mission for the UN International Organization in Greece and Yugoslavia. Since 1980 he served as president and then chairman of the U.S. Committee for Refugees and is still active in it.

Sadly, we report the death of Jim North.
