Class of'34Another plea to my 1934 classmates: PLEASE send me news items
for future issues of the Vermont Quarterly. You may not think
they are important enough. I can assure that someone who gets
the magazine will be happy to read them. I hear on good authority
that even a number of alumni from other classes read our column
every issue. Recently, I had a nice note from Daphne and Win Coburn
telling me that they celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary
at a party given by their two daughters, Marilynn Nuch and Joyce
Robbins 66. Congratula-tions from all of us. Win also wrote that
he received a phone call from Jack Libby during which Jack mentioned
that he hoped it would be possible to publish one more Echoes
34. However, I have not heard anything further about that possibility.
Thanks, Jack, for thinking about it. William and I were at our
camp at Colchester Point all summer, but we are now back at our
condominium in Burlington. On October 10, we had our sixty-third
wedding anniversary. We also announce that we now have fifteen
great-grandchildren, because our granddaughter, Karen Venner,
adopted Maya Kimberley and Cole Alexander Venner. Karen lives
in Kailua, Hawaii. She also has a son, Taylor William Venner.
Our classmate, Phil Gould, who lives in Essex Junction, has been
looking into plans for our 65th Reunion next june. So far, I have
no definite plans to announce. He has been in touch with the university,
and so, if any of you have definite ideas about what you might
like to do, drop me a line, and Ill pass them along. Lets get
some excitement going. William and I were sorry to hear from her
daughter that Williams classmate, Winona Oatley 35 Wurzbacher,
had passed away. Winona was a long-time secretary for her class
and wrote the alumni news for her class column. Her father and
my father were classmates in UVMs class of 1902. Class of '36It seems that the members of the class of 1936 are doing their
own things but not letting the rest of us know whats going on
with them. So, not hearing from any of you, this is what keeps
John and Inez happy. We do all the "local stuff," which is probably
common to all. For out-of-town activity, we try to attend elderhostels.
The Jekyll Island courses, sponsored by Georgia State College,
and the Chautauqua classes in western New York are recommended.
We have enjoyed these, made some new friends, learned a little,
had some fun, and come back home feeling good about the U.S.A.
More news is needed, so please send it along. Wed love to hear
from you all. Class of '37Phelps Pond sent best regards to his friends in Boulder. He was
unable to join them for the Boulder breakfast last June. |
