70 years now. I had lunch a few
months ago with
Peter Gates
,
who is well and still working,
and I’ve seen
TimCooley
several
times this autumn. Tim has had
a stroke and a heart attack and
is now in Governor’s House re-
habilitation center. Kathy, Tim’s
wife, hopes Tim can return
home soon, as do we.
“Carolyn and I will continue
to keep a toehold in NYC, so
please let us know if you’ll be
there, or Hanover, or Goderich,
Ontario, as I’d like to renew old
friendships.”

Dr.
HughClark
sent in this note:
“Good health still allows skiing,
fly fishing, hiking, and biking. I
teach fly tying to veterans, many
with PTSD. We are just back
from three weeks in Vietnam.”

In recognition of
Harry Rulon-
Miller

Princeton Day School has an-
nounced that the annual hockey
tournament will now be known

Invitational Ice Hockey Tourna-
ment at Princeton Day School.

Morris Cheston Jr.
Ted Ward
reports that he and
Jerry Miller
had their eighth
annual fall lunch in San Fran-
cisco. Jerry lives in Scottsdale,
Ariz., but keeps an apartment
near Stanford for his consulting
work. He also does research for
theMelanoma Center at Cal Pa-
cificMedical Center in San Fran-
cisco. He is ready to host golfers
anxious to play the great desert
courses in the Phoenix area.
From
Morris Cheston
: “I
deliver the sad news from
Yoshi
Shimizu
that
David Dana
’s
wife, Marcie, died at the begin-
ning of December in Southern
California.”
1956
Zachariah Allen
Bob Ingersoll
shared these
travels: “Beadle and Ingy, a.k.a.
Bill Beadleston
and Bob Inger-
soll, accompanied by Puffin, a
seafaring Bichon Frise, piloted
Capt. Bill’s 42-foot powerboat
‘Sparrow’ from East Hampton,
Long Island, to Baltimore. The
400-mile adventure included
a tour of New York Harbor
via Long Island Sound and the
East River; the Atlantic coast
of New Jersey; Delaware Bay,
the C&D Canal to Chesapeake
Bay, and into the Port of Balti-
more, a Renaissance city if you
haven’t seen it lately. Interim
overnights were spent aboard
ship in Atlantic Highlands and
Cape May. Beadle’s encore,
now in planning, will be to ship
‘Sparrow’ to Rotterdam to start
a three-summer odyssey tak-
ing him to such ports of call as
Prague, Potsdam, Berlin, Co-
penhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki,
St. Petersburg, Moscow, and
Istanbul, primarily utilizing the
inland waterways, but including
the higher seas of the Baltic,
the Black Sea, and the Caspian.
Whew! Quite a vision!”

From your co-form direc-
tor,
Bill Kirk
: “Great news for
those attending the dinner at
the Wolfeboro Inn on May 30.
Bill Matthews ’61
and his
wife, Marcia, will be joining us
as our guests. Bill, as you know,
was the Twelfth Rector of the
School and will bring wonderful
insights. We have six reserved
rooms now at the Inn, and I have
set aside a few more. Seven or
eight of you have signed in on
the reunion website. Give your-
selves that present and join us
for the 55th. Sign in and reserve
now both at the Wolfeboro Inn
for the pre-reunion and the
Holiday Inn in Concord for the
main event. Our Formdinner on
June 1 will be at the Common
Man in Concord.”

David B. Atkinson
Malcolm MacKay
’s new book,
Impeccable Connections: The
Rise and Fall of RichardWhitney
,
will be published by the Brick
Tower Press. Boylston and Co.
will publish the e-book. Malcolm
tells the story of Whitney, who
was the president of the New
York Stock Exchange between
1930 and 1935, and the Wall
Street spokesman against the
creation of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. In 1938
he was sent to Sing Sing for
embezzlement. Louis Auchin-
closs’s novel
The Embezzler
was based on Whitney. Malcolm
knew Whitney as a child and
kept in contact with him until
his death in 1974. What inspired
Malcolm to write the book was
his curiosity over how a man
who apparently had everything
could engage in such a crime.
David Atkinson
writes:
“Over my desk hangs a piece of
artwork by an artist friend of
Laura Bartsch ’86
, which she
had prepared as a gift for each
of us on the Executive Commit-
tee of the Alumni Association
as she completed her term as
president. Drawn and hand-
written in beautiful script, it
depicts a pelican and the School
Prayer. Upon this New Year, and
in the wake of Newtown, those
words come to mind...and to
heart.
Sam Callaway
joins me
in the same reflection.”
