Many thanks to the ten classmates who generously contributed to Susquehanna for the 2005-06 fiscal year. Your gifts are much appreciated and I’m proud of you, my friends. Our 63rd reunion will be on Homecoming Reunion Weekend 2006. Return to campus if you are able.
I’m sure you are active in some volunteer endeavor. Write or phone me about it.
I’m still active at Joseph Priestley House Museum, Ecumenical Chorale and church choir and look forward to singing in the annual choir festival at Ocean Grove on July 9, 2006.

In the spring of 2005, several people from our class mentioned the possibility of a 60th reunion at Alumni Weekend. I sent a letter to the remaining members of the class inviting them to such an affair. I talked to Louise Isaacs, Corinne Kahn Kramer, Herman Steumple, Mary Pinard and Celo Leitzel by phone.
I received letters from Hermine Lemke Brown, Jean Geiger Nyman, Lavern Kohn Mahoney and the daughter of Bert Strickland, all expressing regret that they were unable to attend.
Celo Leitzel and his son, Lowell, Joyce and Bill McClure, and my wife, Jean, and I attended. We had a great time, despite the small number.
Since that time, our numbers have been further diminished with the passing of Celo Leitzel and Bert Strickland.
In July, Jean and I took a trip to Europe where we visited Bruges, Ostend, Ghent, the American World War I cemetery, and Antwerp in Belgium, before getting on a river boat to travel on the Rhine and Mosel rivers. We stopped at important sites in the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland, and explored medieval buildings, ancient castles, cathedrals, guild houses, and Roman ruins. Jean’s favorite city was Trier on the Mosel River while mine was Bruges, Belgium. Other highlights included Bernkastel, Worms, where Luther defended his views before the Diet, Baden-Baden, and Strasbourg, France. The tour ended in Basel, Switzerland.
