About the time this issue of DAM reaches you a special also be in your hands with full details on the 65th reunion. Briefly stated, it was a fine occasion masterfully organized by chairman Bill Mathers. Total attendance was 34 classmates, a dozen or more wives, several widows, grandchildren, girlfriends and so on, a gathering of about 70 individuals. Reunions at our age are moments to treasure, when we meet next who knows (there will be no mini this fall)? Following items are from those who could not attend the 65th:
Duke Lansberry, Okemos, Michigan, sent a Green Card saying his wife Jane, was undergoing radiation, and her recovery was "slower than expected." Jerry Davis, NYC, said he was retired from a 50-year career as an obstetrician and was busy with "malpractice determinations." Herb Ostrow, Glencoe, Illinois, wrote that he was coming off a brain hemorrhage; Wiley Hubbell, Roanoke, Virginia, offered greetings "to all my classmates up there in Yankee land" and said he was deeply involved with Habitat for Humanity. Dave Goldman, Simsbury, Connecticut (Dave left college after two years), advised classmates to "be grateful you are able to get together." Bill Eisendrath, Elizabeth, Colorado, is still "on the ranch" but with fewer cattle (he rents pasture to a neighbor); Herb Shuttleworth, Amsterdam, New York, wrote: "I still feel badly over the death of my old friend Dick Hube." For Sam Milesky, Madison, Wisconsin, reunion conflicted with his 60th wedding anniversary.
Two names were added recently to 1935's "in memoriam" list: Jack Zimmerman, Framingham, Massachusetts, died April 10,2000; Dan Corcoran, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, passed away May 28,2000. A final item of good news: Helen Gelof (Mai's wife, Dover, Delaware) has volunteered as editor of the TearBag. You'll be hearing from her soon.
