Our 2014 mini-reunion homecoming weekend, october 16-18, has come and gone. Highlights with pictures and updates on campus life will be forthcoming in a newsletter planned for the middle of December.

At the time of this writing DeWitt Baker, class treasurer, reports 132 dues payers (two alums paid twice so actual total is 130), including 24 widows, so actual alums is 106.

Class survey forms have been sent out to all classmates and widows and significant others to determine their level of interest in the College and class. So far Jack Howard, class vice president, has received about 40 to 50 responses. Final re- sults will be tabulated by the College and reported in the December newsletter.

Norman Weissman no sooner published his novel Oh Palestine: The Dream Deferred, as re- ported in the last issue of DAM, than he began working on his fifth book, the story of a child violin prodigy who stops performing to roller skate across the United States in a Huckleberry Finn-like adventure. Unfortunately, because of family responsibilities, Norman was unable to attend the mini.

A reminder that Jennifer Casey, alumni rela- tions director of activities, has enthusiastically invited the entire class for our ’46 70th reunion free weekend. This will coincide with the first home football game of the 2016 season. The Col- lege will house us in the Hanover Inn, feed and entertain us from 5:30 p.m. on Friday through the memorial service on Sunday morning without any cost to us. This was an offer we did not refuse.

Our sympathies to the families of deceased classmates Elwyn Robert VanEtten, November 6, 2010, honored for his numerous community ac- tivities involving humanitarian services; Milton Gene Fromson, September 1, 2013; George Wood- man Hilton, Ph.d., august 4 and Robert Marsh san- doe, August 10.
