Many thanks and congratulations to Russ Zych for serving as class president for the past five years, for organizing a most successful 35th reunion, and for arranging perfect Maine weather up to the moment of departure (almost); to Ralph Nelson for serving as v.p.; to Bev Jackson Glockler for representing us on the Alumni Council; to Mike Silverberg for taking on the difficult job of class agent and getting us to commit $132,000 to the Alumni Fund and the capital campaign; and to Kay White for wittily keeping us all up-to-date and well informed. You not only all came back, you have left very large shoes to fill.Reunion Weekend began at Samoset Resort in Rockland, Maine. Those who arrived early enough to make the trip to the Outward Bound School on Hurricane Island reported that it was well worth the effort. The rest of us arrived on Thursday in time for drinks, dinner and good conversation. It was good to see Bob "Bo" Haggett there. Regrettably, another commitment prevented him from attending the rest of the weekend. Jock and Pat Walker Knowles were there and even managed to make an 8 a.m. tee time at the Alumni Golf Tournament in Waterville on Friday morning--and a second-place finish.On Friday evening before the awards banquet, we held a class reception to which we had invited faculty and staff from our generation. Those who came included the Reumans, Peter Re, Walter Zukowski, John and Mary Joseph and the Striders, who were our special guests for the weekend. President Strider kindly agreed to be our guest speaker at the class dinner, which was also attended by Colin MacKay.Karen Stiegler Aldrich, Connie Maheu Armstrong and Kay
Woodward Blanchard all returned and were glad they had come. Sue Chamberlin Trauger, who works for the L.A. County Museum of Art and lives in Pasadena, deserves the distance award. Carlene Daisy Kelleher, George '58 and Wendy McWilliam Denneen, Carol York Fortier, Don Freedman, Art '59 and Louise Robb Goldschmidt, Chet Lewis, Laurie Waugh Harris, Doug '58 and Judy Ingram Hatfield, Bonnie (Brown '63) and Barry Potter and Jane< Holden Huerta were also there. Marion Porter Potter and Joanne Price Rockett, both in real estate, compared their respective slow markets.Bob Littlefield, still teaching physics in Maine, and Ron Littlefield, working at the Goddard Space Center in Maryland, carried the class banner in the parade of classes. Also there were Charlotte Wood MacPhetres, Ann Monro, Claudia Lawrence Rogers, Ron Weber, Janet Grout Williams, Dave Wiggins '62 and Sally Walker Simpson. Gail Harden Schade has become an avid biker and left the morning after the dinner on a 150-mile-plus trip sponsored by the American Lung Association. Maren Stoll Sherman-Trembly's home became an annex to The Heights for several returnees, although they missed the character-building aspects of dorm living. Eunie Bucholz Spooner has recently moved into a new home--which she helped design to accommodate her wheelchair--complete with a computer room where she hopes to expand her computer club activities for children. Finally, our thoughts and best wishes for a complete recovery go to Judy Miller Heekin.Reunion 1995 T-shirts are still available, so please call the Alumni Relations
Office if you would like to purchase a Class of '60 shirt. For those of you who did not receive the Class of 1960 Reunion Book, which has more information in it than there is space to include here, a copy can be obtained from Colby. Kay did a great job in compiling it from her last questionnaire plus a recent one.Here are some collective thoughts shared by those who came back. It was a
great weekend, and we all wished that more of you had been there; the campus has never looked better, and the trees are beautiful (and big); it is an experience to come together as adults, with and without spouses, and realize that we are a friendly, informed, caring and interesting group. Many of our classmates have survived turmoil, accidents, divorce, illness, death of a spouse or a child, yet still found a way to come together to laugh, renew old friendships and make new ones. We also decided that dorm beds are for the young!I look forward to being your class correspondent now that Ted and I have tied up at the pier and debarked. Please keep in touch, because your news is what will make these columns and newsletters interesting. Our fax number is 603-526-8021 and e-mail is Tclockhart@aol.com.--Carolyn Webster Lockhart
