Calling all fencesitters! Still time to sign up for the October 17-19 mini- reunion on Homecoming weekend. The Big Green will play Holy Cross. Frank Gould has arranged accommodations and Saturday night class banquet at scenic Breakfast on the Connecticut, above Lyme, New Hampshire. Friday John Trimble will preside over the class meeting, with the post-bonfire beer-and-pizza party at Lewiston Station in Norwich, Vermont. Dave Bradley will host his pregame brunch at his law office, where the Marching Band may drop by.

Gersh Abraham and Sally will be there. They've moved to new digs at the Mather in Evanston, Illinois, where Gersh says they are adapting happily—close enough to see old friends such as Liz and Skip Coggin for dinner. Sally's doing fine.

Andy Petersen and Sharon entertained 29 attendees at Frank's annual June luncheon mini in Norwich with images from their Appalachian Trail adventures. He's thru-hiked its 2,200 miles once, Sharon twice!

Jack Bennett, our alumni councilor as well as treasurer, sent his report and the official minutes of the Alumni Council's mid-May meeting, at which President Phil Hanlon's Moving Dart- mouth Forward initiative and other campus is- sues were aired intensively. Well worth reading.

Andy Thomas marshaled at the June U.S. Open Golf Championships (men's and women's) at Pinehurst. I spotted him on TV holding up a "Quiet" sign on the 18th green grandstand. For the Sound & Fury Andy sent a photo with Stacy Lewis, a top LPGA moneywinner whom he and Nathalie had hosted in their home during previ- ous Pinehurst tournaments.

Dan Wilkes reports lunching with David Hoff- man and Geof Picket, "both in reasonably good shape after joint replacements. Geof and Betsy have become world travelers. David is trying to revive his golf game. Lynda and I continue to market Evian Facial Spray."

Two obituaries to report: Leon R. Goodrich died on February 17. He practiced antitrust law in St. Paul, Minnesota, and supported the Schubert Club, which for 132 years has brought world-class musicians such as Beverly Sills and Yo-Yo Ma to St. Paul. Learned belatedly of Leo J. Fitzpatrick Jr.'s death in San Diego. He was a Thayer engineer who died July 23, 2012.
