Winter 2014

Pat Moran (now deceased):

With the aspens turning to gold and the maples to red, heaven is quite close to the central highlands of Arizona.

Daz and I love our new home, approximately equidistant between Phoenix and Flagstaff.  The neighbors are friendly, and they stop and chat on their walks or wave (with all their fingers) on their drive-bys.  Now, almost to November, the temperatures are still 70 to 80 during the day and high 30s to low 40s at night.  What could top that?  The skies are either blue wall-to-wall, no clouds, or clouds that look like so much whipped cream.  The sunsets are awe-inspiring.  A paradise, to be sure.

Alas, classmates, our new home is not what this column is all about.  It is really about the class of 1952, but there is little news to report.  I need your communication.  Please let me know what is happening in YOUR lives.

The alumni office and Ralph Fortney seem to have "lost”  Joe Paquin (deceased), Sigma Nu 1953.  Anyone with information on him, please contact me.

Bob Hoyt spent some time with Betsey and Mayo Snyder (deceased) at their home overlooking the lake in Cooperstown, N.Y.  Mayo and Bob grew up together in Plainfield, N.J.  Bob also visited with John Seville in Lancaster, Pa., in June 2014, prior to spend­ing the summer on Nantucket boating and cycling.  Thanks, Bob  for keeping us up to date.

That's it, '52-ers.  Let me hear from you.
