1965

1965

On October 15 last fall, 15 members of the undefeated, Ivy championship, nationally ranked 1962 football team gathered for a 60th reunion party. Pete Frederick reported on the 1965 class contingent.

“Jack McLean, Jaan Lumi, Bob McConnaughey. and I represented the class. It was an honor to walk out on the field. Other than the football score it was a great day. In several cases it had been 60 years since guys had seen each other. The highlight of the day was dinner at Floren Fieldhouse. Captain Billy King started the conversation with several stories about the ‘Bullet’ and the Princeton game. Teammates shared other stories, not only about our season but about contact with our teammates during the last 60 years. There were laughs galore and perhaps a tear or two. I spoke with several members of the current team who commented how great it was that we could get together one last time. I quickly responded that we were already planning our 70th celebration!”

1962-1968

Joel Feldman reported to Pete that he is a retired plastic surgeon living outside of Boston. Bruce Wagner regretted living so far away in the Great Lakes region. Rich Beams apologized for scheduling a conflicting trip to Ireland. Jim Westfall is an emeritus faculty member from the University of Southern Maine. Mark Tuttle sent a lengthy explanation of the life lessons he learned on the team, despite never playing a down.

I regret to report the loss of Steve Hudak. See www.biggreen65.com for details.
