1958 F R E D E R I C F. H E A P 210 North Street Hingham, MA 02043 781-789-9697 ffheap@yahoo.com After a long tenure as class reporter, JOHN FLOYD-JONES has retired. I, FRED HEAP, have agreed to take the class reporter position on again but I need your help, mainly news. Also, as I have said in the past, I will never call for donations or money. I am interested in class news and keeping up on where everybody has moved to, doing in retirement, etc., and keeping the class list up to date. • Fred and Sheila Heap sold their Inn on Nantucket on October 2012 and have retired to Hingham, MA, near their daughters and grandkids. During the fall and spring we are trying to attend four soccer games in two towns on Saturday. (An unknown fact. I was the starting fullback for the Babson Institute Soccer Team in the fall of 1962 and 1963.) These kids are a lot better than I was. Sheila and I have not quite decided what we are going to do with our retirement, though we take a lot of cruises. The next one is to fly to Barcelona and come back across the Atlantic Ocean to Fort Lauderdale in late fall. We also have done some RVing in a Roadtrek 190 V. Still trying to figure at all out. I attended the KUA All Class Reunion both last year and this June. Last year it was quite hot; there was a great turnout, especially with schoolmates I have not seen since we were schoolmates. This year I had a great tour showing all the changes that have taken place. Miller has been redone and is now class rooms 90

and library. Baxter is now executive offices, the stone building is admissions, and next to the hockey rink there is an indoor soccer field. As you know, football is gone, and the swimming pool is gone. I think the insurance companies had something to do with it. The basketball gym is still there. Twenty percent of the students are from foreign countries, and KUA is co-ed. • From EDWARD MULLEN, “Fred, thanks for assuming the role of class reporter for our class. Not a lot of news in my regard this spring. Have granddaughter in Yarmouth, ME, heading for Syracuse next fall and grandson in Hingham, MA, considering KUA next year. Gail and I are doing fine. Recently spent some time with ALLAN SWANSON. We were really sorry to hear about BOB BROCHU’S death. Allan was with him at a KUA reception the night before he died. Thanks again and it looks like you are enjoying your grandchildren as we are.” • News from JOHN THEES: “Elyse and I celebrated 25 years of marriage last March and are looking forward to many more happy years together. I continue to sing with two adult choral groups and now volunteer a couple of hours a day a couple of days a week to a local charitable organization in their resale/recycling facility. I am usually the only male on site when working so I get most of the heavy lifting work. It helps me a little with fitness and it keeps me out of trouble. I also occasionally dabble in community theater when there is a role for someone my age. They don’t occur that often. By the time this is published in September Elyse and I will have taken our annual road trip to Oklahoma and Colorado to visit and stay with friends and family. It is always fun to see everyone and it has the added bonus of getting us out of the Texas summer heat for a few weeks. We plan to go to Spain in the fall. Elyse has never been there and it has been about 50 years since I was last there.”

from GE after 31 years of service, and resides to the north of Cincinnati. He still does virtual tour photography for realtors, and has a website www.daviddovephotography.com. Dave enjoys golf in the summer, and stays in shape by use of a fitness center year-round. Dave and Kathy vacation in Aruba in January on years when finances permit it. • A short note from BOB BENTLEY reveals that he is now retired and has found some consulting work with a group in Cambridge that is developing systems to reduce train accidents. Bob is planning to attend reunion next year, our 54th. • FRED SOULE continues living in the North Carolina foothills, and states that his only regret for the location is that the distance to KUA makes attendance at special events difficult. Fred has finally retired from the hospital administration business, and enjoys golf and hiking with his wife Sue, and building homes for Habitat for Humanity. He also enjoys traveling and taking history classes at the local community college. Fred and Sue are planning a few weeks’ trip to Croatia in the fall. They also enjoyed hiking King Ludwig’s Way in Bavaria last year. • TONY GILMORE continues his activities as district governor for the 60 clubs in the NH-VT Rotary Organization. He reports, “As a past district governor and distract disaster chair, I kept busy raising money for Colorado’s floods in the summer, followed by Typhoon Hyian in the Philippines soon after. I took on spearheading a Rotary Global matching grant to spend nearly $800,000 for maternal and pediatric clinics in Mongolia. The fund raising for that
