In February, John Reidy ’56 traveled to Israel with Hale Sturges ’56 and Karen Sturges. They visited the West Bank of Palestine. John also had a wonderful trip to Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, just prior to his 55th Reunion.
At their 50th Milton Reunion, Hale Sturges, Tare Newbury and Josh Lane, all of the Class of 1956, discovered they were all directly related to Harriet Ware (of Ware Hall). Since then, they have celebrated yearly “Ware family reunions” at each other’s homes.
