sends sad
news: “
Paul Bartlett
and I
attended funeral services for
George Scherer
in Manchester
Center, Vt., in October, which
was well attended by his friends
and family. George’s prowess
as a hockey goalie and team
co-captain at SPS and Yale was
remembered, along with his
love of the outdoors.”
Peter Booth
sends this: “Still
motivating in somnolent Pen-
sacola. Fifth (and last) book just
out:
Carolyn, Her Family and
Friends
. See more on my books
at www.peterbooth.com. All
best to our SPS ’52.”
Sergey Ourusoff
sends this
update: “I am now a golfer, liv-
ing at the Sawgrass Country
Club in Ponte Vedra Beach,
Fla. My USGA index fluctuates
from 13.5 to 14.5. I have visits
from family and friends, mostly
grandchildren and their parents
during their vacations. My eldest
grandson, Sergei, is in his second
year at St. Andrews University in
Scotland, and I am going to try
to get there this spring before
the term ends and play some
of the great old courses, hope-
fully including Royal Dornoch.
I started proton radiation for
prostate cancer today andwill be
doing that for eight weeks, five
days a week, but am otherwise
fine. I still go up to the old fam-
ily house, Kentlands, for a few
weeks every summer and visit
family in East Hampton, N.Y. I
see some old Hamptons friends
as well. As I am sure you know,
we are all getting older and I
admit I am beginning to feel it,
but am far from being ready
for an adult community. Maybe
I’ll see you at the 65th reunion,
although I am not sure of my
plans at this point.”

A few months ago,
Dave Barry
walked by the Vietnam War
Memorial in front of the Beverly
(Mass.) Hospital, and noticed
that
Hunter Shotwell
was in-
cluded among the 12 local war
dead who were named – but
also noticed that Hunter’s name
was misspelled on the plaque.
Dave made some inquiries and
contacted the local VFW post,
which had erected the monu-
ment some years before. The
VFWpost ordered a new plaque
and, on November 20, it was
installed during a short cer-
emony inwhich there wasmuch
praise of Hunter from soldiers
who served with him as well as
from colleagues. SPS alumni
attending included Dave Barry
and
Fred Winthrop
,
Russell
Clark ’56
(who came for
Chris
Clark
, who could not be there),
Dennis Dixon ’71,
and
Dave
Dearborn ’55
.
