sorry to report the passing of Charles Lord of Raymond, NH. He was a veteran of World War II and the Korean conflict. After graduate studies at Tufts, he began a lifetime of teaching throughout New Hampshire. Condolences to his wife of 66 years, Cynthia. From Honolulu, Sheldon Varney writes that he is “still kickin.” We fondly remember him as our ski team captain. Courtney Allen enjoys his life in Iowa, especially since he is in his third year of playing golf every month of the year. Roger Van De Meulebroecke and his wife of Gainesville, VA, are celebrating their 50th anniversary by going to Norway and Belgium to trace family roots. Keep us posted! Roger Woods, our treasurer, expresses his appreciation to those who have included donations with their class dues. This allows us to make additional contributions to our class scholarship fund. For those of you who may be visiting Florida in February or March, keep in mind that our Southwest Florida alumni chapter is quite active in the Venice area. The next annual luncheon/meeting is scheduled for February 8. It is always wellattended and quite successful. Let us hear about your children and grandchildren. Sharing your experiences with us is most welcome. —Anne Marie Flanagan Long, 2601 Newcomb Ct., Sun City, FL 33573; amflong@alumni.unh.edu

Jan Anderson received a nice note from the president of the UNH Foundation after sending another check from all of you for our class endowed scholarship fund, which finances awards to students who are in need
and qualify. And we usually get a nice thank you from the students! So our dollars are marching on and not sitting in a checking account—keep the goods coming! Barb Milbury Waldron still lives in Ashford, CT, and happily retired after 32 years of teaching elementary students .Bill Haubrich and Jane ’52 still are in Naples, FL, in the winter but in New Hampshire in the summer. Bill has seen Paul Wyman, who is fine, but other classmates are just disappearing! Dick Stevens is still active in Kingston, while Sam Adler has been in The Villages in Florida for 10 years, calling it Disney for adults! Ellie Brocklebank Beaudette, Stow, MA, sends “hi” to the lunch bunch. Sally Lambert Quirk has been retired for 20 years and still in New Smyrna, FL. Linwood Paine runs into UNHers in Walpole or Charlestown—but lives across the river in Bellows Falls, VT. Had a note from Norman Holden’s daughter who says her father is very healthy in assisted living in Franklin, VA. He is 91, a proud alumnus who still speaks of UNH frequently! Jack ’50 and Pat Coombes Worthen’s daughter, Cynthia Vascak ’99G, is now dean of Arts and Sciences at Plymouth State University. She received her Ph.D. from UNH.John Duffett is a public service retiree living in Sarasota, FL. Dick Hogan,Dearborn, MI, speaks of great-grandchildren (as many have in their notes!) but Nancy Vogel Harlow beats you all: she and Stew have 24 grandchildren to start with!

Hi, mates: Wow—it has been super hot and so humid in Delaware this summer. But, I hear that New England has had unusually hot weather, too! My heart goes out to the loved ones of the following mates who died this year. John Waldo Maynard died February 19, James Faskianos died March 8, Esther McKeage Richardson died March 15, and Mose Michael Ananian died May 24. As your class secretary and part-time treasurer, I want to thank you for the great response to the news, dues returns and the lovely “thank yous.” I appreciate it so much! My pleasure! The summer of 2012, Robert Chamberlain and wife Mary took two river cruises in France. In England, they traced his ancestors back to 1033 and found relative Lord Chamberlain in 1066. Jay and Pauline Gorey still enjoy living on the East Coast and attribute their 63 years of marriage to their “love on the UNH campus.” It was great chatting with you, Jay.
