Hi to the class of '56,
How the reunion warriors found me at the New Jersey shore will evidently
continue to be a mystery to this writer. My applause to each of you
for your dedication, diligence, and love for the class of '56. It is
impressive how effective those members who have taken on the reunion
task have shown themselves to be. We all know some of the names but
few know all of the names of these dedicated classmates; We are in
your debt. Next, I wish to pay my respects and offer my condolences
to the families of those classmates who have been lost.
Statistically, the following represents, in brief, my history to date: Single,
