It could be about turning 70 and numerous grandchildren that so many have so much to say. Typically we try to condense it, even more this year. Bob Dobbin writes from California of spending much time with children, grandchildren, and the family dog. Likewise from California, Peter Rodman reiterates his regrets over missing our 50th reunion. However, he was in town for a later reunion last fall that was thrown by members of Mr. Finney’s football teams, who assembled at the Elkridge Club to honor their coach’s 85th birthday. Peter particularly enjoyed sitting at a table of classmates from our own 1962 team that was Gilman’s first undefeated football team in 40 years. The most recent classmate to move to California was Bill Lamb. Fed up with Woodstock, Vt.’s brutal winters, he and Jenny packed up and moved to San Diego, where they purchased a condominium in the Maritime District. Sally and Eddie Supplee are still California residents, and their travels continue to expand. Since our previous class notes, they’ve been to Senegal, The Gambia, Cape Verde, eight resorts on five islands in Fiji (for diving), the Cayman Islands, and Paris. They also came to Baltimore for Sally’s 50th reunion at Bryn Mawr. While in town, Eddie celebrated his 70th birthday at a party, where one of the highlights was a

Peter Wilkes and his wife Dickie have moved back to Baltimore, finally settling into their new place in September. Peter published his first book, A Woman Called God, in 2014 and is close to releasing the second in his series, What Happens After? (By this time it has probably been released). Information about A Woman Called God can be found by Googling it or through Amazon. Peter has been a guest teacher a few times at Gilman since he has been back in town. Memorials: This past year, we lost two classmates. In December 2014, Jeff Evans died suddenly of a heart attack. Jeff lived in Patagonia, Ariz., and worked in real estate. In addition, we lost Charlie (Nip) Clement on February 24 to brain cancer. He left Gilman after the second form to go to St. George’s School and graduated from Princeton in 1965. He attended our 50th reunion in 2011, and was very fond of his experience at Gilman. Grumpies Note: There is a group of Baltimore locals with wives and others that get together for dinner monthly (usually the third Wednesday of the month). It is an enjoyable evening for those who can make it. Let Bill Hardy know if you have been missed on the distribution list for dinner notices, or if you are going to be in town and would like to participate. The last gathering of the season was held in May with a great turnout. In attendance with wives (or not) were Born, Garrett, Dell, Hopkins, Pierce, Meyers, Marr, Wilkes, Morgan, Hardy, Snead, Brown, Cordi, and O’Neill (see picture). Also joining the party were Melinda Davis and Beverly Davis.
