1941

Happy(belated)holidays to all 41s and their families. The next festive event will be the Florida mini-reunion on March 8-9. Don Stillman arranged for a return to the Lakeside Inn at Mt.Dora in central Florida. If you have misplaced his descriptive flyer, please call him at (407) 862-6164 for details of this annual event. Ray and Barbara Seabury can't attend the Florida mini because of the distance from their Longmeadow, Massachusetts, home. Ray's glaucoma has progressed to the point where he can no longer see a tennis ball. Barb continues to play their favorite game and they attend a yearly football game in Hanover. The Yale game this year convinced Ray that a new coach was needed. (Any other opinions?) Joe Wilkes and his wife, Margaret, have been fortunate to attend half of the 41 reunions while Joe studied and taught architecture for 30 years in the Washington and New York area. They now relax in a home in Annapolis, Maryland, near the Naval Academy. They enjoyed sailing on the Severn River until a fall hurricane damaged their sailboat. Another big blow damaged a 5-acre grove of oranges which they owned in Arcadia, Florida. Ed Small out in Centenial, Colorado, was enjoying his retirement after 36 years with Packaging Corp. of America, but then his wife of 35 years passed away. Nowa- days he does volunteer work, such as reading to bilingual Mexican third-graders. He also keeps in good physical shape golfing, bowling, fishing and hiking. Summers bring new activities, when Ed moves to his summer home in Buffalo Creek, Col- orado. What a nice life. George Baine is my idea of a hero. Up in Red Bank, New Jersey, he has sur- vived cancer for 22 years and never complained of the colonoscopy procedure. Now he lost his wife, Betty, to cancer last year just before their 59 th an- niversary. On the positive side, George was se- lected last May to the Red Bank High School Hall of Fame for his sports prowess and his officiating of college basketball games in the N.Y.C. metropolitan area for many years. He is housebound now that macular degeneration has limited his ability to file income taxes for his old clients. My hat is off to you, George.
