Our 55th is rapidly approaching.
Co-Chairs John and Donna Ferries want to make this the best ever. They know the ropes, having been mini-reunion co-chairs previously.
John and Donna will surely be reaching out to you for help to continue the tradition of making this reunion the best in the class's history.
Before our 50th reunion 245 classmates (about 45% of the class) along with 192 spouses and 10 widows returned completed questionnaires on the then upcoming reunion.
John and Donna created an easy-to-read Class Survery Report highlighting some fascinating insights. It provides them very informative data as they prepare for our 55th. ____________________________________
Peter Jaffe, Randy Malin, Sut Clark, Jim Bybee, Bob Filderman, George LeFevre, and Chalie MacVean (left to right in the picture) got together at the La Jolla Shores restaurant on October 24th for a mini reunion.
Held a couple times a year, the reunion gives them the chance to swap stories, catch up on current happenings, and talk about their latest medical adventures and misadventures. Ron Kabot, Stan Davis, and Steve Plank couldn't make it this time.

You might not know the name "Norine Gray." Well, if it were not for her, our class reunions, newsletters, and other activities would not have been produced as seamlessly as they were.
Norine worked in Dartmouth's Alumni Relations for 40 years, and established a very warm and dedicated relationship with class leaders for many years. Accordingly, your class leadership decided to adopt her with a formal presentation of a Certificate of Adoption in May.
