1940

Class president John Moore brings us up to date on the happenings of him and Tina. Since their marriage in 1996 they have done a great deal of traveling, including a trip around the world. Their trip lastyear to Australia was cancelled because of WTC. They live in Lake Wales, Florida, from November to May and Woodstock, Vermont, the remainder of the year. John says he has reached the enjoyable level of mediocrity in croquet but has given up tennis because of a bad knee, which has been repaired at Dartmouth-Hitchcock.

Bill Chapin wrote us that his wife, Eleanor O'Hara Chapin, died peacefully May 21 at her home in Sonoma, California. O'Hara enjoyed civic and community affairs—serving on the city council and recreation commission, as trustee on the library board and interested in theater. During WW II she was supervisor of the women's division of radar technicians at MIT.

From Betty and Turk Turkevich: "My sedentary life is getting even calmer and senior moments are gaining momentum. We are grateful to be alive, have each other and be living independently. Bill Cleave's death left a sad hole in our lives—he was my roommate and I married his sister." Turk got into computers a decade ago now, in addition to e-mail, he's getting involved in developing genealogical information about both families.

Crosbie MacMillen spent most of her wintet in Newton, Massachusetts, with her daughter, Marlay, who's recovering from spinal surgery. Both are looking forward to spending time in Maine as well as in the glorious Hanover busyness.

Bill Halsey still loves snow but kept waiting last winter. Got to use his snowblower only two times. When he sees it sitting in the bam he just explains that it will have to wait another five months before it's needed—maybe. What did Bill do last winter? 'Aside from muscle aches, backaches, hip aches and sundry other aches that are endemic of being around as long as members of 1940, can't think of a single outstanding activity."

Gil Myers tells that he has reached his 85 th birthday. "Good health is probably the most important commodity in aging. All in all they have been good years."
