Ten formmates and five spouses arrived
in Woodstock, Vt., on Wednesday, May 27,
for what is becoming a traditional pre-
reunion opportunity to relax in the com-
fort of the eponymous Inn, stroll around
town, hike Mt. Tom, and get together.
We had a chance to share feelings and
reflections about our lives, loves, friend-
ships, and what St. Paul’s has meant to
us. One such reflection left us wondering
whether life follows a plan over which we
have some control, or is more random,
and, in that spirit, each of us told his sto-
ry, with the wives maintaining a discreet
silence. At that evening’s dinner, Mal gave
us a brief summary of his recent book on
Richard Whitney.
Eleven other formmates – with some
unexpected but welcome cameo appear-
ances – and five additional spouses
joined us in Millville for the weekend.
The Form of 1959 passed a watershed
occasion, with our inclusion in the Friday
night dinner with the five-year reunions
of those forms going back some 20 years
further.
Our march down Dunbarton Road was
ably led by our mascot, Spencer. In the
afternoon, Dan and David represented
our form in a brief row in a double scull,
