1942

Plans for the October mini-reunion are complete and will offer a choice of either a two- or three-day event, with plenty of time to get together with old friends and partake of the activities scheduled by chairman Huntly Allison. October 7 to 10 there will be three class dinners with speakers or entertainment, the Yale football game (by bus, so no parking problem), a class meeting, BYOB cocktail hours each night and much more. All this will take place at the Lake Morey Resort in Vermont. Please notify Hunt and make your reservations by September 1, and don't forget to order your tickets for the game. Full details are in the class newsletter.

Joe McCormick has done what so many of you have—moved to a retirement facility, this one still in the Danville, Illinois, area where he has been living.

A nice note from Bob Hickeys daughter, Kerry Hickey DeWitt, following Bobs death last year. "I have many fond memories of traveling to Hanover each fall with my folks for football games," she writes, "and know that Dad always had a warm spot in his heart for the campus in Hanover. It tickles us no end to know that Dad was a member of the 1940 (football) team that played the Fifth Down game that handed Cornell their first loss in three years!"

In the same spirit, a message from Ralph Farnum's widow, Ethyle. He died about the same time as Bob last September. She recalled how much he loved New Hampshire, where he spent his summers at the family home on Crystal Lake, followed by Dartmouth. She said they had been in touch all these years with Wayne Martz, Bob Garwick and Jim Barr. The 50th reunion was good, and the 60th great, she added.

Guy Swenson wrote this past winter to say that he and Mary were just "trying to stay warm in this incredibly cold winter. Only a covering of snow, but cold, cold, cold. Too cold to do the snowshoeing or cross-country skiing we would usually enjoy this time of year. As Richard Hovey wrote, A great white cold walks abroad.'" I hope that you are both warm by now.
