This year's adventure was an encounter with Hurricane Luis when they docked in St. Martin. Gail writes, "There is no more awesome, or terrifying, spectacle than nature gone wild." . . . Ted '61 and I traveled to California in September to attend the wedding of our son and saw Steve Levine '59 and Dave Bloom '59. . . . I am sure that many of you still have blank questionnaires.

Soon you will be receiving information from Colby about our 35th reunion. Thanks to those of you who responded to the questionnaire. The committee met in September and set a number of goals for the Class of '61: at least 61 members of the class should attend the reunion, and 61 percent of the class should participate in raising a total of $61,000 as our reunion gift to Colby. David Ziskind, our hard-working president, would like to shoot for 61 percent of the class at reunion, but that is the one goal that may not be attainable. The others are! Bob Burke has assembled a large committee to ensure that you are contacted by someone in the class whom you knew who will encourage you to participate, at whatever level you can. Remember, you do not have to have graduated from Colby to be part of the reunion party! We welcome all who were ever a member of the class. The committee voted to have the class activities start, at Colby, on Wednesday, June 5, so you can arrive any time that is convenient for you. Activities will be scheduled for just our class during those first two days, before the other classes arrive. . . . Peter Stevenson writes from Haverford, Pa., to confess that the reason Karen Johnson Fenton '63 remembered all the ATOs whose nicknames had been used (Height-o, Dopey, Squirrel, Goomba and Torang) is that he (Height-o) dated her back then. On behalf of the entire crew, he wants to invite her to our 35th reunion and promises to supply a first-class ticket. Welcome to the Class of '61 as an honorary member, Karen! He also has a suggestion of an activity for the reunion--auction off Tom "Red" Evans . . . he will have to tell you the "rest of the story." . . . From Connecticut, we heard from Nancy Schneider Schoonover, who owns, with her husband, Jack, a company called PR Data Systems. They expect to sell the business and retire in the next year, so, Nancy, please update us on your status. . . . Also in Connecticut is Carolyn Evans Consolino Albrecht. As you can see, she remarried in April, and she sounds very happy. She saw John and Jill Williams Hooper at their son's wedding in September. If her youngest son's graduation from Colgate does not interfere, she hopes to be at the reunion. Since she and her husband, Knute, have seven children and seven grandchildren and she works at The Whitney Shop in New Canaan and Greenwich, she has a busy life. . . . Amy Eisentrager Birky lives in Lincoln, Neb., where she is an elementary school media specialist. She traveled with Lynn Ehrlich '63, who attended Colby with us in 1959-60, to Saipan, Mariana Islands. She had taught there 30 years ago. . . . Bill Swormstedt checks in from Merrimack, N.H., where he is a senior buyer in the Osram purchasing department. He hopes to be at the reunion and see Bruce Turner, Sandy Graham and Hans Veeder. He regularly sees Bob Gannon, who manages a service station in Sharon, N.H. . . . Hank Sheldon writes from the Chicago area that he is now a captain with United Airlines, flying wide-bodied DC-10s. He spends time at their condo in Park City and is looking for a retirement place in a warmer climate. He and his wife, Elise, often get together with Bob Hartman '60 and his wife, Sue. He will try to attend the reunion and wonders if anyone has seen Phil Walther. . . . Additional people who are going to try to attend the reunion since the questionnaire was sent are: Sandy Arens, Bill Bainbridge, Jane Bowman, Iris Mahoney Burnell, Carol Stearns Clement, Bill Clough, Dottie John Christmas, Sue Parmalee Daney, Charlie DeWitt, Tom and Marilyn Blom Evans, Regina Foley Haviland, Tom and Dotty Boynton Kirkendall, Cici Clifton Lee, Diane Sherman Luth, Helen Johnson McFarlane, Judy Parker Millen, Pat and David Marr, Ed Ruscitti and Anne Lovell Swenson. Looks like we'll easily get the 61 returnees. Now let's meet the other goals!

Patch Jack Mosher, a Spanish teacher, got her master's in 1993. Her husband, Bud, retired from teaching English in September 1994, but Patch says it's at least five more years to a decent retirement for her--she spent 14 years at home raising their five kids, and it takes longer to build up those retirement years. Son Jeff, based in Quantico, is a Marine helicopter pilot who gets to fly the presidential helicopter; Chris is a Navy supply officer on the John Paul Jones; Brendan is a manager of San Diego's Restaurant in Plymouth, Mass.; Tiffany got her master's from the University of Maine-Orono in 1994 and is now working in the human resource department of Grand Circle Travel in Boston; and Erik is a 21-year-old college student.

I just got the most delightful letter from Mike McCabe, which I'll save to share next time.

Judy Fassett Aydelott is such a satisfactory correspondent. Every couple of years she sits down at the typewriter and bangs out a good two-page letter catching me up with her family and remembering whatever was uppermost on my mind the last time we met. She is a good role model! Anyway, her daughter was married at the Mount Washington Inn last year, and son Jack '91 is now engaged to another Colby grad and will be married at the College chapel next June.

Although this will involve a great deal of work for the society, it is an honor to be elected by colleagues from the U.S. and outside our borders. I wish some of the individuals responsible for this success, particularly Prof. Thomas Easton of Colby's Biology Department, were here to share the pride!" He adds, "P.S. Heard that Larry Dyhrberg is back after a year in Poland teaching English for the Peace Corps!" Larry, please check in with your class correspondent!

Eliot and family spent a weekend in Lon-don after a trip to Russia and Scotland. While in London he sighted a "genuine Phantom--Ralph Bunche is alive and well. He is with Morgan Stanley Bank arranging financing for large infrastructure projects. His two daughters are in college (one in Massachusetts), and his son is in high school. Unfortunately, the rest of his family was at their summer home, but we shared a delightful dinner with Ralph. Believe it or not, he has not changed a bit!" . . . The news ends with hearty congratulations to our class prez, Bud Marvin, who snagged the Colby "C" Club Person of the Year honor last Homecoming Weekend during the annual Colby Night dinner.

Happiness may merely be the remission of pain. . . .nbsp;You will read elsewhere in this issue of the passing of George Sheridan Dukes, husband to Joan Manegold Dukes. Both George and Joan wished to express some thoughts and feelings to their friends. As this would be outside of the normal obituary format, we will share these with you here. On July 7, 1995, George Sheridan Dukes "Took his life and brought it Home." His last thoughts for his friends were, "I chose when to come into this world. And now I choose when to leave. Though it's not that simple, it's just that simple. See y'all on the other side. Much Love, George (Sher)." Gifts in his memory may be sent to the Community Nature Center, a nonprofit environmental learning center, which, although open to all, has developed special environmental awareness programs aimed at children. He had supported the school as an outgrowth of his support for Joan, who has been a volunteer teacher at the center and is a co-founder of a planned much-expanded facility. He is survived by his wife, his mother, two sisters, and, as he said, "many many dear friends." . . . Janice Holt Arsan accompanied her husband, Noyan, this summer for a three-week combo business trip and vacation to Turkey. They stayed on the Turkish Mediterranean, an area formerly known as the Lycian Peninsula. Janice reports that their oldest daughter is getting married in the spring and their youngest started college this fall. According to my experience, this is the recipe for moving rapidly from parenting through empty nesting straight into grandparenting. . . . Terry Saunders Lane is the associate dean at Boston University Graduate School of Social Work. She is looking forward to taking a group of social work graduate students to Denmark this coming spring to compare their programs to those of the United States, with particular focus on immigration and health care. Please report back if you discover that 11 months of winter is an immigration control measure--or is everyone coming in from Finland? . . . "Dislocated Worker" is how Ralph Record "correctly" describes his current situation. When his company decided to relocate out of the area, Ralph elected to pass and face the challenge of finding a new career for the next five to 10 years. Ralph observed that the move was just part of the national movement to make life especially difficult for those of us over 50. Ain't that the truth! . . . Dick Dunnell, proving that there is life after 50, is announcing his impending summer wedding to Marcia Hayward after a year-long engagement. Dick is an office manager for Chubb Life America, and Marcia is a high school science teacher. They have just purchased a condo in Laconia. . . .  Carol Lordi just purchased a new home in Silicon Valley, Los Altos, Calif. She is planning to move in right after the new year. . . . I received a great letter from Sue Mahoney Michael, who reports among other things a recent trip to Brisbane, Australia, to watch and support her son, who is on the international Junior World Championship skating circuit. (Boy, are you lucky--lately I only get to go to Milford District Court to watch my kids--and it's not because they are working closely with the judge either. I think it's referred to as "Rules Impairment Syndrome.") Sue recently started her own company, Michael & Company, focused in two areas, fund raising for nonprofit organizations and magazine editing. . . . That's all I can squeeze in here right now. Please keep those questionnaires trickling in. I'm desperate for material. And remember, things are more like they are today than they ever were before.

Rock on. . . . The recent focus on the Beatles and their music must have touched many of you, as it did me. It was fun to share my feelings for their music with my son, David, who does a mean version of "Twist and Shout." But I don't think anyone who wasn't a part of that era could understand the poignancy of seeing and hearing John Lennon again. . . . Enough nostalgia.
