1945

Frank Aldrich sent a nice BostonHerald article telling how Sumner Dorfman and his wife, Barbara, have worked side by side at Dorfman Jewelers for 25 years. The level of quality has remained extremely high because Barbara is the buyer and Sumner the on-site inspector. Dorie and Joe Young gave themselves a consolation prize for having moved away from Vermont of a 10-day theater trip to London. We miss the Youngs here in the Upper Valley and we did not get any consolation. In a letter enclosing his class dues to John Osborn, John Callaghan was recalling his time as class treasurer in 1943-44, when the dues were $5. He was doing his job from West Point, to which he had transferred. He said that early in 1944 his attention to West Point took over from that to the class of 1945 and he had to resign. We all understand! Paul Caravatt is to be congratulated for getting the class of 1945 Web site up and running. He was able to tell everyone about the then-forthcoming picnic at Bob Aldom's house on August 7. A good time was had by all of the 22 people present. We were blessed by the presence of vice chairman Don Cole, who told about the rather hot trip he had just experienced visiting Minnesota and South Dakota. Summer is never easy in that area and this one was terrible. Peg and Bob Tirrell told about the nice visit they had with Bertha and Ray O'Crowley in their retirement home in San Clemen9te, California. Summer temps where the O'Crowleys are living seem to be more acceptable.

Dave Nutt 44 tells of the chance meeting on a New Jersey golf course with Jack Monahan, son of Mo Monahan. The children and grandchildren had recently celebrated Shirley Monahan's birth-day with her at her home in West Haven, Connecticut. If there is still time, do not forget the mini-mini in Punta Gorda in March 2002.
