CLASS OF 1949 | 2015 | ISSUE 1

I received a letter from Ken Williams in which he thoroughly chastised me for overlooking him as an attendee at our 65th Reunion. The only gatherings of the ’49ers my wife and I attended were Friday night and Saturday night dinners and, regrettably, I must have missed him at one or both of these. Audrey had knee replacement surgery only six weeks before the Reunion so we were mostly immobile that weekend and missed some functions that Ken may have attended. We left Middletown Sunday morning to travel north to visit our son, Bill Jr. ’71, in Grafton, Vt.

George Forbes was unable to attend our 65th Reunion but he sent a class note to Wesleyan in which he wrote of his 61-year-marriage to Shirley who, sadly, passed away in 2007. They had married when George was a freshman at Wesleyan in 1946. Recently, he married a long-time friend who had lost her spouse.

An appeal to my classmates….please send me a letter or an e-mail about yourself. My addresses are noted below.
