It’s been a good start to the new year with the receipt of notes from two classmates who have made it possible for the streak to continue!

Jake Congleton wrote what I’m sure most of us realize: “There can’t be too many of us left.” Jake still resides in Maine, and, as we can understand, doesn’t travel much anymore. He mentions that his wife, Sally, keeps him out of trouble! He admired the success of the Cards this year versus his last season in ’54. Jake would love to hear from other members of the “crucial class,” and can be reached at congleton33@gmail.com.

Tom Nall, who has been a grand supporter, wrote, “I wish I had something interesting for your class notes, but it is just the same old-man stuff. Maybe the surprise would be that I am still alive. But since I am not kickin’, I guess I can’t kick the bucket either! I have great long-term care insurance for which I have paid [dearly], so I think I should be getting some of that back. I am waiting for a place to open up at a nearby assisted-living facility. The waiting list for the suite I want is pretty long, but so far, I can still drive and take care of myself. Nothing very exciting, but that’s it.”

Sounds familiar! Wishing everyone a happy New Year, with best wishes to you and your loved ones.
