1956

It has occurred to more than one reader of this column that it is all about the same handful of people—mostly East Coasters, a lot of them New Yorkers—the same people mentioned every issue. That is because those are the ones I come in contact with in Hanover and at mini-reunions or they manage to make news which comes to me from the College or they contact me by e-mail, letter or phone. So it is of great benefit to me to be involved in reunion planning because I receive Green Cards from folks who are not often heard from. In no particular order, do Kevin Ryan (Woodland, California), Ed Scovner (Enfield, New Hampshire), Jim Streeter (Rothesay, New York), Zig Suritis (Fayetteville, New York), Frank Terhune (Jarrettsville, Maryland), Bill Thompson, (Richardson, Texas), Rik VanBensselaer (St. Thomas, Virgin Islands), Al Welty (N. Haledon, New Jersey), John Wilcox (Cottage Grove, Wisconsin) or Ken Wlaschin (Los Angeles)? How about Tom Aitken (Nyack, New York), Tom Burris (Chesapeake, Virginia), George Cohan (Groton, Connecticut), Ira Colby (Guilford, Conmecticut,) Don Collins (Las Vegas), Russ Cooper Mead (Grenada Hills, California), Dave Denison (The Woodlands, Texas), Harry Dill (Tampa, Florida), Don Dillon (Gaithersburg, Maryland), Dave Duane (Wolfeboro, New Hampshire), Dave Dolben (Lufkin, Texas), Derry Evans (Sonoma, California), Blake Field (Woodbridge, Virginia), Paul Ford (Wenatchee, Washington), Bob French (Santa Fe), Harry George (Piano, Texas), Howie Green (Concord, Massachusetts), Jim Groebe (Denver) and Bob Hall (Sudbury, Massachusetts)? Then there's Tom Holdorf (Winneconne, Wisconsin), Henry Holt (Menomonee, Florida), Pharis Horton (Madison, Wisconsin), Kent Kane (Colorado Springs), Porter Kier (Issue, Maryland), Bill Kustrup (Princeton, Newjersey), Brad Leonard (Copper Mountain, Colorado), Dave Losby (Peoria, Arizona), Dick McClintock (Ukiah, California), Jack Mendelsohn (Washington, D.C.), Charlie Morrissey (Houston, Texas), Denny Minely (Hopewell, New jersey) and Tom Nichols (Vancouver, British Columbia). All of these guys are still out there and you may see some of them at reunion. Ifyoud like to get in touch with some of your old friends, I can give you their addresses/telephone numbers.

Roger Schumacher has successfully guided 32 of the class group to Australia and New Zealand and back, and reports that all had a fine time in Port Douglas, Sydney, Christchurch (where they were hosted by Jackie and Dick Hlavac), Queenstown, Rotorua, Auckland, and then on to Fiji. (See the full report in the Wah-Who-Whisper.) And keep in mind next year's spectacular trip to Africa now being organized by Roger and Doug Keare. There is still time to sign up for it.

Two deaths must be regretfully noted: Bob Johnston passed on in July 2000 in Lutz, Florida, and leaves his wife, Lizabeth and five children. Win Bridge succumbed to cancer in April, having said his good-byes at the Bruscino Bash in March. These two valued classmates will be sorely missed.
