October 10^th:  I'm starting this right after hurricanes Helene and Milton whistled their way through Central Florida.  Fortunately this area was spared any serious, wide-spread damage.  Unfortunately they didn't blow any Lehigh news my way.  I sent out a note asking for news, warning that I may be driven to tell you about my adventures again.  Your news would protect you from major boredom.  Again I asked you to send me news about you that I can share with your classmates.

End of November:  No news from you guys except a repeat email from Wally Field.  Sooooooooooooo boredom will prevail.  I won my challenge to our family to bike my age in September – only ½ of them beat my 306 miles for the month.

Thanksgiving was a special, special time for me:  Fifteen of our family were able to gather in Austin, Texas, for our first reunion in 7 years.  It was scary listening to our 4 kids talk about their retirement plans!  It was a pleasant, safe and exhausting trip.

Note:  Cutoff date of April 1, 2025, will be your next opportunity to share news with everyone.

HOLD TH PHONE!  Bob Arndt sent me an email as I was actually 2 clicks away from sending this watered-down class column to the Alumni office.  Bob said, “I'm sorry to be so late with this.  Our computer system from Comcast has been out of service in our entire retirement building all week.  My granddaughter Jnana Breck-Arndt (pronounced Jana) graduated from Syracuse in May 2024, summa cum laude in Psychology.  This she accomplished having graduated from a small high school in Vermont.  She overcame the disappearance of her mother from a hospital clinic in Tucson, Arizona. January 2019.  To this date, authorities have not been able to find her.  Very mysterious circumstances as her car and cell phone were still at the hospital after the disappearance.”

Thanks, Bob, for the happy ending, good news. 

Y’all have a wonderful Christmas and tell me about it next year.  Oops, I’ve been living in the South too long – I even write like a Rebel now!
