CLASS OF 1958 | 2016 | ISSUE 3

My first respondent was Bill Higgins, who is now fully retired from his career as a psychologist. He moved from Connecticut to Weaverville, N.C., just outside of Asheville.

Dave Hild and his wife, Alyce, just returned from Vail, Colo., where they attended the marriage of their oldest grandson. The last leg of the trip was accomplished by cable car.

Burr Edwards sent a photo and a brief e-mail. The photo was taken on the occasion of his 80th birthday. He and his wife, Pirkko, are now in southern France.

Bill Barnes and his wife, Pat, visited the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer home in the Berkshires, and so did Rick Pank and his wife, Brenda. They seem to do so once each summer.

Cape Cod is the main residence of Dennis Allee, who is a jazz DJ and a raku potter. He has a bungalow outside St. Petersburg for the winter months. He sees Mel Cote and his wife, Polly, frequently, as they also live on the Outer Cape.

Oklahoma resident Neil Springborn still manages at least three rounds of golf each week and won some money off the Saturday “flat-bellied long-knockers.” He and his wife, Mel, visited their son, Jeff, in Houston where Jeff is the senior forecaster at the National Weather Service Station there. Neil is still involved with boards and commissions for the city of Lawton. Mel is president of the local ostomy support group in Comanche County.

Milt Douglass labors extensively on his 1901 farmhouse in Louisburg, N.C. He and wife Patsy have refurbished it from top to bottom using salvaged materials. He removed all sheetrock and replaced it with real plaster. It is now the way it was in 1901.

I keep in touch with Dick Goldman, who is interested in forming a Wesleyan lawyers group in Boston. He believes that Wes alumni and friends could benefit from the counseling and networking this group would provide.

And at our age, a brief note from Bart Bolton that there is nothing to report is good news! No health issues or any other old age maladies.

Lastly, I report that Kay and I keep cheating Father Time by working hard with a personal trainer, at least twice a week. Guys, I cannot recommend this strongly enough. Keep up the info.
