1946

Greetings to all from the New Jersey shore. We have been told we will have a fine spring, thanks to the stimulus package. Trust all the same to you. According to our intrepid leader Tom Adams we are ahead of last year’s Alumni Fund. Great going, 1946. And let’s keep it up. Fred Calder called me from Florida. Vacations there in winter but still in Montclair, New Jersey, rest of the year. Long retired from the paper business. Wanted news of old friend Joe Verdi. Gave him your number, Joe, so I expect he’ll call you. Joe Quig and I had a long talk and shared many reminiscences. Joe is long out of the DuPont Co. and living on the south shore of the Delaware. Says he gave up fishing and hunting and is now a gentleman farmer. Sends regards to all. Got to Phil Osberg over in Orono, Maine. He’s a retired professor at Maine University. Had hoped he would announce the completion of his book on geology of Northern New England and Canada. Not yet, he said, but soon. Charles Fortunato is in Oceanside, California. He retired from the insurance and brokerage business. But now he has a whole new careeras an entertainer, a singer and storyteller. If you’re in California and need top-flight action, call him at (760) 967-4888.

With sadness I must report the deaths of these classmates. Carlton H. Bremer, January 16; Donald R. Elliott, November 9, 2008; Philip S. Harper, December 13, 2008; Robert B. Hodes, January 15; Eugene F. Houlihan, November 19, 2008; Horace M. Macartney, November 1, 2008; and Maynard W. Poole, December 8, 2008. We extend our deepest sympathy to their families.
