My sincere thanks to Stuart Rapp for his submission, thus extending the more than 60 years of continuous info from classmates. Stu writes:

“Hi Don! Excellent work, old classmate! Your email address suggests that the energy that remains with you from all that biking has stood you in good stead!

“In my 70 post-Wesleyan years, my responses to these info requests have been few and far between. I now appreciate, more than ever, Don Braverman’smonumental patience. These late days of mine find me at White Oaks, a ‘retirement residence’ in Manchester, Connecticut. When I recall the former style of places like this, I realize how fortunate we are to have options for comfortable living that enable us to feel a part of the active life of ordinary people who keep the society going on the other side of our windows. I’m very glad to have survived into President Roth’s leadership, and I regard my college days as an invaluable blessing that has given me that all-important sense of context throughout my life. Go Wes!”

I, Don, would like to add: Things remain comfortable for me in Maryland, although I must confess I do miss the Florida weather, and, of course, my friends and cycling companions in the Sunshine State. The memories of the many rides and gatherings will always be with me!

My wish to hear from classmates is never-ending. I extend my best wishes to you and your loved ones in the days ahead!
