Conversation with Arnold Sprung in mid-May indicated that he had skied at Park City, Utah, for at least 15 o days this past season and was ranked first in his age group in the NASTAR racing program. He practiced as a patent attorney in New York City and moved to Park City 14 years ago but retired only in 2003. His participation in skiing days shames those of us from the East. Jay Larmon was unable to participate in the 70 + Ski Club meetings and races this past season due to a latefall accident with a table saw. He did visit Loon Mt. and the Skiway to ski in January and February. At his home on Cape Code, he is active with family and friends.

In conjunctionwith our mini-reunion, an executive committee.and open class meeting is scheduled for Friday afternoon, October 29, at the Norwich Inn. The weekend includes the Harvard game and a class reception and dinner on October 30.

The sympathy of the class is extended to the families of classmates who died recently: George Spinney, October 31,2003; Austen Lohse, April 1; and Leonard Bjorkland, May 24.

Keep in touch.
