The Classes

Love the news regarding global warming. For all you baseball fans, I “clipped” the following news and it is fascinating.

“Global warming is juicing home runs in Major League Baseball,” an assistant professor of geography says about the new study finding major league sluggers are sending an extra 50 or so home runs a year over the fences due to climate change.

A call to Jon Mendes is always a pleasure: “I am 102 and grateful to be here. Every day is a blessing—happy healthy and dancing the slow shoe.” Jon reports walking every day. He is doing better than me.

You all are almost certainly 100-plus, having given much to this country and the College. Please, other class members or wives of classmates, send me some news that I can pass on to your classmates and the College.

It always feels good to receive fan mail of the ’42 column from much younger folk. It means it is being read—I have received emails from younger classes and even got one in the mail.

Tom Harriman, I have tried to reach you for news—help me out for the next column. —Joanna Caproni, 370 East 76 St., Apt. A 406, New York, NY10021; caproni@aol.com
