1939

We've had six more classmates leave us since our last: Mai Fogg died on November 19,2002; Sid Curtis on December 8,2002; John Evans on February 11; Jim Scholfield on February 17; Dr. Bill Fairweather on February 20; and Bob Elkins on March 14. Letters have gone out to families, as usual. (Obits in this and following issues.)

We've had some pleasant correspondence with Peggy Batchelder, Betsy Wyman-Emons and Louise MacLeod on the subject of Big Mac. From George Hanna we received a 50-year anniversary program celebrating the half-century history of Kenny MacDonald's law firm in Seattle, MacDonald, Hoague & Baykless. Kenny Mac is framed in smiles.

Woody Miller has been busy with the pen, publishing a short-story booklet titled "Don't Look Down" and a more scholarly tome titled Eggemoggin Revisited, a personal history of the historical reach off Deer Island, Maine, where Woody and family spent their summers. The piece is now carried by the local library.

Jim Corner advises that Doc Tower was off for France, for a change of venue. I hope he had a word with Chirac. Jim is doing so well with our fund goal that he has suggested to his loyal workers that there is no need this year to ask for calls to classmates. Not bad!

Since we have recently been cut down from 350 words to 250 for this column, we better close this, our first attempt at the confining verbiage. Hope you're having a good summer.
